<p>My thoughts on social media bans everywhere is that if you&#x27;re taking digital connections away from teens, you better make sure they have third spaces for physical connection, and give them options for transport that is not &quot;parents drive us around&quot; otherwise all you&#x27;re creating is isolation.<br>And you may not need a social media ban if you start by preserving and creating those third spaces. <a href="/tags/socialmedia/" rel="tag">#SocialMedia</a></p>
