Modern Culture Is Ruining Our Childhood

Makenzie Roy, Editor: Saffiatu Johnson

Yes, modern culture is ruining childhood. I think modern culture is ruining childhood because kids these days are growing up too fast.. In my opinion, kids are growing up too fast because the teen birth rate is high. For example, in Alabama the teen birth rate is 49.7% which is basically half of the state. But in Maryland the teen birth rate is 31.8% which means that in every 3 people 1 of those people are teen mothers.
I also think that kids are growing up too fast because of social media and technology. I feel like kids are growing up too fast because of social media because social media influencers are promoting the wrong things to the wrong group of people. For example, most Instagram models promote their only fans, naked pictures, and explicit content to kids that are 12 and 11 years old.
