The Scottsdale Unified School District is now one of a few in the Valley considering suing Meta, which owns Facebook and Instagram, as well as Snapchat, Twitter, and other social media companies.
SCOTTSDALE, AZ — Some school districts are taking matters into their own hands, claiming that social media companies are hurting students’ mental health.
Scottsdale mom Karen Stokes says it is a good idea for the district to join the lawsuit. She says she limits phone use for her own son. While social media can help many connect to people, it can also be damaging. The American Academy of Pediatrics says teens who spend more time on social media report high symptoms of loneliness, depression, and anxiety.
“What we know is overall, what social media is taking away from our students. Things like sleep, authentic connection with each other, being out in nature, moving your bodies,” McPherson continued. “I would be pointing people to what is your child consuming, what is the content they’re consuming, who are they connecting with and if they are on too long, what is it taking away from them?”
