As humans, we ask for a release. A distraction. And when we do, we become addicted. But it's not because of the chemicals in the drug, the adrenaline when we cut. We use it as a cry for help, because we know we can't use our distractions forever.

When we have everything we can learn from at the palms of our hands, it's easy to believe for parents and elders who had never had tech before to believe the depressed were influenced by our phones. But that's not it. We become depressed in real life, where imprints are made. And sure, the internet might give us some ideas, we don't do it just because. Too bad most people don't understand.
