Ban social media for under 13’s not 16’s
I think the government shouldn’t ban social media for 16’s and under, instead I think it should be for 13’s and under.

Background
Social media is a place where teenagers communicate and express their feelings. Social media also has an extremely big impact with schools, people go on there to find tutorials for revision at school or cooking, cleaning etc. Social media is also a school subject option (media) where you use social media to help you create stuff for your course work. It’s the parent’s responsibilities for their child’s online safety. Therefore I believe it should be for 13’s and under.
