  • Lilly, have you heard about the new city council bill about teenagers using social media?

    It restricts teenagers’ social media access.

    Really?
    How?
    Teenagers are already connected to social media.
  • 5
    I know, but some council members think they can and should stop teens from using it.
  • 6
    In my opinion, it would be better to find ways to guide teens to use social media properly than to limit their access.
  • I agree.
    Social media has a lot of benefits like connecting people with their peers and providing emotional support.
  • Right, so we should voice our opinions at the city council meeting.
