    I drink heavily because I’m bored. When I don’t drink, I become an aggravated asshole, and some people call it withdrawal. My best option in this situation is clearly to drink more, not investigate the deeper reasons for my behaviour, and do nothing to better my own mental and physical state.

    Kids weren’t damaging property and starting fight clubs as often as you seem to think before phones came along.

    Kids should be learning how to regulate their emotions, but phones are easy.

      Alcohol damages the body, phones definitely don’t do that.

      I remember being a child and early teenager before anyone I knew had mobile Internet. Many of us engaged in highly disruptive behavior, including behavior harmful to others, when bored.
