Ban Social Media for Youth Under 16 in New York State to Protect Mental Health

from Blind Techie Geek Speaks · host Kathleen Ann Masciana

As a blind Generation Z graduate student, I waited until I was 19 to join social media. That choice gave me the chance to build genuine friendships, grow my confidence, and truly discover myself without the pressure of likes, trends, or constant comparison. Seeing how many kids today struggle with anxiety and stress online inspired me to start this petition for Mental Health Awareness Month. I am calling for a ban on social media for anyone under 16 in New York. This is about protecting the next generation and giving every child the freedom to enjoy real connections and a childhood free from digital pressure. Please sign and share to support this movement and help make a difference for all of our youth. https://c.org/BgfcvH5GRK #MentalHealthAwareness #ProtectOurYouth #BanSocialMediaUnder16 #LetKidsBeKids #NewYorkYouth #NextGenStrong
