There was a survey reporting high levels of depression in teen girls recently.

Of course, there are also recent surveys showing high levels of anxiety and depression in other demographics, too. So we need to be careful that the data is being correctly compared -- i.e. do teen girls have *particularly* high levels of MH issues now, or just *along with everyone else*?

But one does not have to look far to find news for teen girls in particular to be depressed about.

I agree we need more data, but there are a good number of studies already done we have the data but these experts don't seem to be able to come up with a solution.

Perhaps the best solution to a lot of problems would be to take a smart phone, place on a concrete block, place a chisel on the screen and hit that hard with a hammer, this of course would destroy the phone, then buy a simple call / text phone and take a step backwards sure, but it would avoid all the problems we have with scrolling through websites, and being sent material that some algoritim has decided you want.
