What makes all of this even more worrying is how quietly it’s happening. Most people don’t even notice the small changes in their mood, attention, or confidence until it becomes their “normal.” You don’t feel the damage in one day, but after months and years of scrolling, you suddenly realise you can’t focus, you compare yourself to everyone online, and your mind is constantly restless. This is rapidly affecting our younger generations and as they are often neglecting their role and opened to a lot of vices through the endless scrolling.

Nothing is wrong with the internet, but the wrong usage is what terrible bad.

And the saddest part? Many people know something is wrong, but they still can’t put the phone down. It’s like living in a world where everyone is tired, distracted, and emotionally drained, but nobody wants to admit that the cause is sitting right in their hands.

Maybe one day we’ll finally learn to disconnect, even if just a little. Life feels different, calmer, slower, more real, when the screen isn’t the centre of everything. But until more people take that step, the cycle continues: the platforms grow, the users shrink, and we call it “normal.” This affects the kids more. The parent needs to rise up and take their position by ensuring that what their ward is exposed to in streamline to the meaningful content.

The funny thing is that the children these days do lie on social media by not using their real ages in order to have access to many of the social media. The parent needs to seriously caution their ward in ensuring that they didn't abuse the mobile phone. However , what do we do about the parents that even used to endless scrolling on phone on their own? Are they not guilty of what they are to guide against?
