@foxnews: A UK student's reaction is going viral after Prime Minister Keir Starmer said Britain will ban children younger than 16 from using social media. During a BBC interview, the student revealed her screen time was nine hours over the weekend. When asked how she'd fill all that extra time without social media, she didn't hesitate: "Stare at a wall." The deadpan response is quickly becoming one of the most shared reactions to the UK's sweeping new restrictions on children's social media use.

Omg I remember while growing up my mother cancelled Tv for a whole year mind u we had no phones, laptops or even PlayStations, she got us books, football, a doll for braids and that’s it I remember doing my neighbours laundry so we could watch a little tv in her house. Such a lovely lady 😂😂 😂😂

There’s still so much you can do with screen time that isn’t social media

K. :

Best answer she could have received 😭😭

Gen James C. McConville :

A young student's reply, “Stare at a wall,” may sound humorous, but it quietly reflects how deeply social media has become woven into daily life. As with any major change, discipline must be matched with understanding. The objective should not simply be restriction, but helping young people rediscover balance, purpose, and meaningful ways to connect beyond a screen.

Rent books 📚 from the library on Friday, read more and do your assignments. Let the school give them weekend assignments so they can read more in the weekend

What happened to read books? Play with friends, spend physical time with them? Spend time with family?
