Corporate America can do that to a youngster. Especially in I.T. and the coding industry with stiff competition from India etc. The landscape of corporate culture is not the same from 15 years ago. It is much worse in my opinion.
Also, I’m thinking tictok, youtube, etc are more dangerous than we currently even know or realize. I think the ‘enemy’ has had some of the most devious psychologists developing it as a weapon for decades. Some are more susceptible than others but there is no ignoring the dopamine hits with video games etc.
My only suggestion would be to somehow limit the internet usage or ween it down while replacing it with something healthier. No small task, i know, but a thought. Easy to say, but try to find a club, hobby, new interest for them and act on it regularly. If it is possible that you can be involved, maybe all the better depending on the situation.
If your daughter has any interest in working for herself somehow or a ‘remote’ type position, there are more resources than ever due to the double edged sword of the internet. Freelance or consulting work may be a better fit.
Maybe your kids would have to ‘earn’ their internet free time with other productive time. This will not be easy to formulate or work-thru. Prepare for a battle royale, and things might get worse b4 better. I realize they aren’t young teens so this is tough.
Figure out how to spark or encourage healthy time and interests. Do some very off-the-wall brainstorming of ideas that are waaay out of the normal for each of you.
Try looking into Andy Frisella 75-hard - book and program (free program). It isn’t for everyone that is for sure.
Ok boomer? Really? Do you have kids? Are you old enough? Just wondering.
It is a fact that video game designers design for dopamine hits in order to create an addictive reaction cycle / scenario.
Not sure I understand your 2nd paragraph. Did something i wrote indicate I am not for free speech? Odd - not my intent. I’m very pro 1st amendment. Not crazy about porn books in grade school being pushed on kids considered as free speech though - you?.
My point is that it is tough to raise kids when they are literally addicted to video games and phone apps. Not everyone who uses is an addict but some can certainly succumb to an unhealthy point just like anything that is designed to be addictive - drugs, sugar, pop-music, gambling, pick your poison..

Just do not ever give up on them.
Okay, Boomer. Nevermind the fact that violent crime has just happened to go down along with the rise of videogames...
And Imma guess you're one of those correct religion types seeing as you're intimidated by platforms that allow people to speak their minds freely.
