ngl every time i see stuff about like, drugs affecting cognitive development of kids and teens, i think about the fact that it’s normal for kids and teens to have caffeine, even tho caffeine also affects cognitive development. i think about the fact that teens are expected to get up extremely early in the morning to get ready for school, and go to bed real late because they only get free time late at night. i think about the fact that society already puts kids and teens through so many things that destroy their physical and mental health, and yet there’s no serious effort to change the world to be a kinder place to them
