  • It doesn’t need to work completely. It just sets a precedent that makes it easier to follow as a parent. If 95% of children have social media (which they do at age 13 in UK) then your hands are tied. You can ban your kid from social media but you’re putting them into that 5% of weird kids, which is unfair and probably more damaging than the social media in the first place.

    If a law comes in, and 50% of kids circumvent it, then it doesn’t really matter. It changes the game. It becomes the parent’s call, and the good parents will keep their children off it.

    Years ago I had a gay male friend who got drunk and decided to hook up with a girl to see what it was like. I (also drunk and being a twat) was trying to cockblock him by telling the girl he was gay.

    No matter what I said, she thought I was just slinging witty banter. “haha gay”. “No you don’t understand, he is a 100% homosexual man!!!” My buddy found the interaction pretty hilarious.
