    Is 13 Too Young to Have a TikTok or Instagram Account?

    The surgeon general is the “nation's doctor” in the United States. They are tasked with giving Americans the “best scientific information” about their health.

    Late last month, the current US surgeon general, Vivek Murthy, warned 13 is too young to join social media. He said it poses a risk to young people's “self-worth and their relationships”, adding: I, personally, based on the data I've seen, believe that 13 is too early […] the skewed and often distorted environment of social media often does a disservice to many of those children.

    Is 13 too young? What should parents think about when it comes to their kids and social media accounts? Why are we talking about 13? Major social media platforms, including Twitter, Instagram, Facebook, and TikTok, require users to be at least 13. This includes those in Australia and New Zealand.
