    The discussion centers around the increasing regulation of social media use among children and teens, with New York State implementing a law allowing parents to block algorithmically suggested posts. This comes in light of rising mental health issues among adolescents, particularly anxiety and depression, as highlighted by CDC data. In Durango, Colorado, Mountain Middle School has a cell phone ban, which students and staff believe helps reduce distractions and improve focus, although it is acknowledged that cell phone use is not the sole cause of mental health issues.
