Surgeon General Vivek Murthy warned parents should keep kids off social media until they are 18. Murthy claimed that the online apps can hinder a teenager s development.
Social media could be reprogramming children’s brains and making them hooked on "likes," a new study out of the University of North Carolina reveals.
Scientists in North Carolina tracked 178 children who were 12 years old. They found that areas of the brain linked to reward and punishment were overactive in kids who were always online.
