🚨🇺🇸DUH... SMARTPHONES MAKE KIDS MISERABLE | MASSIVE GLOBAL STUDY

Researchers studied nearly X million people across XXX countries and found that giving a kid a smartphone before age XX wrecks their mental health.

Girls who got phones at age X were XX% more likely to report suicidal thoughts later in life than those who waited until age XX.

Early users also reported hallucinations, aggression, and feeling detached from reality - all before they hit college.

Study says phones crush confidence, empathy, and emotional stability. 

So yeah… maybe hold off on that iPhone for your 8-year-old.
