Screen Addiction is Drug Addiction for Developing Bodies

Kids of all ages are overly using screen devices to cope with a range of emotions, such as boredom and insecurity, and due to a lack of connection from real life society. The more advanced technology becomes, the more alluring and addictive it is as well, especially for young developing minds. Dopamine and other neurotransmitter hormones are released in immature brains in ways that are unnatural yet rewarding when they are gaining attention or entertainment from devices. This often leads to concerning behavioral issues and addictions during adulthood. There needs to be more engaging, physical activities available for teens of all walks of life so they have options to enhance their connection to their true selves and natural sources of energy.
