    “no, I won’t provide a source for my claim, because my source is not good/non-existent”

    FTFY

    provide the reason you don’t like those studies

    They didn’t say they don’t “like” the studies though, in fact they actively said they were interested in seeing them. What’s the point of asking someone to explain why they don’t like something that they haven’t even seen yet. Sure they could go find some random related studies and then critique those but that seems pretty pointless.

    Edit: since I’m whining about lack of sources, I should probably give some myself

    Here’s a paper investigating the correlation (or more specifically, lack of correlation) between social media usage and mental health outcomes for young adults:

      Yes I’m being a little lazy, but I’m not a research scientist. Gooogling some thing like “mental illness social media” is pretty easy. There’s lots of studies finding at least a little corelation.

      I’m not shocked your linked study says that there is very little evidence of social media causing mental health issues. I wouldn’t even be shocked if it’s true.

      It still doesn’t mean that good parenting and social media access go hand in hand.

      Just trying to have a conversation and not get a PhD in the process.
