    My friend’s teenager asked for unlimited screen time for her birthday. She didn’t want to go anywhere, do anything, or smoke weed, or mess around with a boy - she just wanted to stay home watching tiktoks. It was strange to me.

      She wanted drugs. It’s that dopamine high score she’s after.
