"One school system's response to an opioid overdose on campus. Regulating social media use can be a tricky thing for parents. There are new guidelines out today that lay out some specific recommendations. The guidelines call for parents to routinely check in to make sure social media is not interfering with schoolwork or causing their kids to lose sleep.

Tama Bryant is president of the American psychological association which released the guidelines, she says kids should be taught to constantly question the accuracy of what's on their screen. So they can think for themselves so they can also come back to their parents and other trusted adults to verify information. Another recommendation is that kids should be repeatedly informed that their behavior on social media will likely generate data that can be stored and shared for commercial purposes.

The solution seems to be another study to find out how to make the program more equitable.
