I think its not just kids anymore, it's adults too. Everyone is glued to their screens these days. But kids are more vulnerable to influences from "social" media and don't have any defences to the psychological warfare going on. Of course they feel like shit.

This smells like one of those fake clickbait stories...

Don't think so. Havent you met kids feeling shit because of social media? It's everywhere.

Maybe people feel like shit cause the planet is being destroyed by a bunch of rich assholes?

I don't think banning this knowledge from kids is going to help.

Kids are not looking for that knowledge, I think you know that. Planet is being destroyed, yes, but nothing you can do about it by using your phone.
