I will say, and I don’t know if this is because we waited on the smartphone until HS, but my oldest (20) is completely uninvolved in social media–no FB, Instagram, etc. My 15 yo is on instagram with a few friends and family. We do have a rule with him that the phone stays downstairs when he goes up to bed. I don’t think oldest had a phone or computer in his room until after he graduated HS.
