"ugh, kids these days are so miserable"
well, when theyre awake to the world and realise how shit it is and then their government decide to ban them from the one thing that gives them a sense of community, its gonna make them miserable innit.
I am going to say this bluntly
You are a FAILURE as parents if you can't keep you child off social media yourself
YOU bought them the phone
YOU can confiscate it during homework
YOU are the parent, NOT Keir Starmer
Authoritarian ban for your "convenience" is not the answer
doing this without investing in kid-friendly public spaces and programmes makes no sense whatsoever. all this is gonna do is push kids to use more fringe and unregulated social media apps
At 17 you can
Have consensual sex
Have a kid
Drive a car
Work a job
Vote
Donate blood
Join the army
BUT you CANNOT watch YouTube after your allocated government bedtime lmao
that’s the question isn’t it. what WILL she do? there are no youth clubs for her to attend. food, cinema tickets, any sort of third space activity is all too expensive. their parents are underpaid, saturday jobs don’t exist any more, children have truly been abandoned by the govt
Happy birthday to half of the iconic Dan and Phil, Daniel Howell! 🥳
Dan came out in 2019 by posting a video titled 'Basically, I'm Gay', which detailed his journey with his sexuality.
In an October 2025 YouTube video, and after 16 years of fan speculation, Dan and Phil revealed that they have been in a romantic relationship since 2009.
