Kanye is right. 8-year-olds should not have social media.

okay instagram i wanted to do this video. and to comment on this back forth. exchange that's happening publicly. between kim and kanye not because i'm. interested in celebrity feuds or. divorces but because i think this is. actually a topic that's really important. for all parents to be discussing as we. kind of get into this new age of digital. media and social media and children. having access to things that we didn't. have access to when we were kids i'm 32. years old we did not have access to tick. tock and twitter and facebook and.

any other social media app when i was. young and this is a very important topic. so. to give you guys a background if you're. not following it uh kanye has been very. very vocal for a long time. before the divorce about wanting his. kids to be kids when they grow up. meaning. he was very against north his daughter. she's eight years old and even in years. prior she was wearing makeup and wearing. lipstick and he was very against that. he's been vocal about the fact that he. doesn't want his child on social media. um so this is not a new thing that's.

happening because they're getting. divorced it's just coming to a head. because they're getting divorced and kim. obviously has a different perspective on. it because she was okay with her wearing. makeup and she's okay with her daughter. having social media kim's daughter is. north um we know of north and we know. all of their kids because they have been. on you know reality tv their entire. lives and north is for the record eight. years old um. so. this is something that parents all. around the world should be aware of it.

is not an assumption it is a reality. brigham young university actually did a. study last year to show that children. that are introduced to social media have. a propensity higher rates of suicide and. propensity toward suicide. adults included obviously we understand. that social media has depressive effects. and it's basically allowing you a window. to look into the lives of people and to. have this perception that their life is. better than yours so it's basically you. just stacking up and going oh i wish i. had that life oh i wish i had that life.

i wish i had that husband that body that. face. and it causes depression and if you're. an adult you might be able to deal with. that depression but for young kids it's. a lot i don't know why it took a study. confirming it from brigham university to. confirm that social media is harmful for. children um when really this is common. sense we're seeing things that we've. never seen before we're seeing people. that are 12 and 13 wanting to get their. lips injected to want to get to want to. get boobs to want to get butt implants. to want to do all of these things. extraordinarily especially for children.

and when i look at these people that are. so young and they're getting these. implants i'm thinking to myself. when i was this age i wasn't even. thinking about how i looked i mean eight. years old before i even had braces i. mean to put that into perspective we're. talking about third graders third. graders this is not you're not even. interested in guys you really just want. to color with your friends i think i was. in spice world at that time listening to. spice girls wanting to dance with. friends and have sleepovers so we're not. talking about someone that's even on the.

brink of maturity we're talking about an. extremely young child who's extremely. vulnerable who should not have the. access who should not have access to the. internet. and have five million followers as she. has which is already to me something. that is harmful why are there five. million people in the world that want to. follow the every action of my child i i. choose not to put my kid on the internet. at all because i want my child to be. able to have that choice and i want my. child to also be able to make that. choice when their brain is developed. something that's extremely problematic.

here and why i wanted to speak out is. because. you know kim's response to this. obviously kanye posted this publicly and. he has made several pleas about just. keeping his kids off social media and. i'm not claiming to know the ins and the. outs of their relationship but something. that was extremely problematic is that. kim in her response writes that he's. controlling this is him being. controlling and obsessive and sort of. all of these buzzwords that women use. when they want to make themselves look. like they're being victimized by a man. and she specifically says that you know. north needs this as a you know a.

creative outlet and kind of suggests. that you know the divorce has already. been traumatic enough for them and you. know giving this child tick tock well. you know somehow helps to to. alleviate some of the traumas that they. may be experiencing as a completely. unacceptable excuse your child does not. need social media to deal with any. traumas you know. you have a child that's stuck between. two billionaires tons of people have. gone through divorces. come from divorced families i'm one of. them um this is not something that is. necessary to heal from a divorce.

whatsoever in fact i would almost argue. the exact opposite and it's super unfair. because in this particular regard. actually kanye is doing the right thing. he's protecting his child from the. public. i think part of this is that obviously. kim is kim kardashian so she's lived her. entire life publicly you know she takes. a stab at kanye for. talking about this publicly when in. reality she has welcomed all of the. world into every aspect of her lives for. years so this is just a victim claim. pretending that you care that there's a.

public discussion about this when we've. watched your family members pull their. babies out of their vaginas on tv. doesn't make sense pretending that you. want to protect your children when. they've been you know on. on a show which sure you had editing. control over but you know that doesn't. really make sense to suddenly pretend. that it's kanye that's harming them by. bringing this discussion to the. forefront especially because it's a very. important discussion we're talking about. right now there was a case an 11 year. old girl you can look it up she killed. herself. and she her mother is now suing the last.

name is rodriguez i can't think of her. first name. her mother is now suing facebook and. snapchat saying that they know how. harmful that this you know that the. effects of and the addiction that comes. from their. their um. comes from their products is and yet. they allow children access to it and so. this mother is currently engaged in a. lawsuit with both snapchat and face and. facebook my personal opinion it's the. mom's fault you know and and you have. decided to give your child this weapon. you know this weapon is you know you're. shocked when your kid becomes addicted.

to this and becomes depressive and. unfortunately for a kid they don't have. yet within them they don't possess the. mechanism that it is to compromise so. everything feels much larger when you're. a kid right think about your first. breakup whatever it was i don't know how. old you were when you had your first. breakup um but i think i was 13 it was. like one of those like fake. relationships but you know you think. it's the end of the world everything. becomes a suicide thing when you know. you have a fallout with a friend you. think it's the end of the world kids. feel. in a way that is so much bigger and.

grander than adults do and when you. apply social media to that you know. they're not able to deal with a hurtful. comment i know that came as suspended. comments on this but you know they're. not able to deal. with even a hurtful idea thinking that. this person is prettier than them or. more mature than them or wondering if. guys like this better. they're not able to put that into the. proper perspective because they have. brains that are not developed and kanye. in this regard and again this is not. supposed this isn't to say everything. he's ever done has been amazing and.

everything kim's on has been bad but i. think that kim you know kind of. represents someone that is very pro. social media it's how she made her you. know how she made her brands how she's. made her living by giving more and more. and more and more of herself and. unfortunately she's not able to see the. harmful effects of that she's not able. to assess her own addiction and her own. obsession with social media i mean to me. you're talking about two billionaires. you've got if. north needs a creative outlet from her. divorce kim could go buy her a ranch in.

wyoming literally tomorrow and say. here's a whole ranch she could she could. afford to bring pablo picasso back from. the dead and say here paint with my. daughter i mean she's got that much. money she could she could buy her. whatever she wants as a creative outlet. she could buy her a plane and fly her to. france um and you know have her dying. amongst the stars this is not an average. family that has to deal with sadness or. has to find a creative outlet in a. tricky spot because they don't have. resources it is pointedly ridiculous to. suggest that this is the only creative.

outlet that makes your child happy and. quite frankly it doesn't matter if you. make your child if it makes your child. happy you are the adult for that reason. there's a lot of stupid things that kids. want that they believe make themselves. happy. we are arriving more and more in a. society where people don't know what it. means to be an adult right they don't. know they're they're constantly caving. to what their kids want well this is. what my kid wanted my kid just wanted. social media so like i gave them because. they like it and it makes them happy i. don't care if it's giving them temporary. happiness if you know that in the long. run it's going to cause pain there it's.

going to cause addiction so you have. that addiction you know how addicting. social media is because you have that. addiction um and so i just feel like. kanye deserves to be defended in this. one in this particular regard because. any man. who understands even how they use social. media how men look at social media the. fact that there's five million strangers. how are you to know that amongst them. are not pedophiles there's been you know. pedophile networks that have been. established on tick tock of people that. are looking at kids why would you want. your eight-year-old on to be observed on.

an app you know every second of their. day this is different from you know moms. that have social media and post their. kids you know once in a blue moon when. you are allowing your child to have. social media you have no idea you know. who you know who is looking at your kid. and that is remarkably unfair to then. castigate your your significant other or. former significant other and pretend. that this is an obsession it should be. an obsession protecting your children. and protecting our children should be an. obsession so if kanye is obsessed with.

getting your daughter off social media. then may i suggest that you develop that. obsession like may i suggest that you. develop wanting to protect your child. from the world wanting your kid to grow. up wanting your kid to be a normal third. grader who wants to plan sleepovers with. her girlfriends who wants to you know. have do an art project i think for me i. was wanting to do gymnastics and you. know and jumping around like there are. other creative outlets and if you are a. parent and you really care about your. child no matter what your child is going.

through you would want to protect them. from the net you just you would 100 so. we're speaking to a larger problem right. now and i think this is like as i said. like i don't think the kardashians are. aware of their own addiction and. obsession with social media so they. would not recognize those symptoms in. someone else they would they don't see. any harm in it because they've made a. living and again that's not to take a. shot at kim i've met her she's very kind. and she's very nice but you know social. media is her life that's the point like. she's she's a nice person but social.

media is her life and she's not seeing. clear on this so just standing up for. dads that kind of get caught like i just. don't like the idea of the victim. mentality of a woman saying oh he's. obsessed and he's controlling and you. know sure he may be obsessive and. controlling about different aspects but. on this particular one kanye west is 100. right and kim is in the wrong get that. child off social media she's a child. she's eight years old you know that it. leads to an increase in suicide rates. amongst kids these are devastating. effects there are multiple stories out. there of parents saying shoulda woulda.

coulda i wish i did not allow my. eight-year-old to develop this addiction. you know don't be that that parent that. finds out too late because you don't. know kim there was no social media when. you were a kid you were allowed to be a. kid you were allowed to be grubby you're. allowed to have braces you were allowed. to look weird and not develop that that. sense of like. being self-conscious about yourself. because you're suddenly able to see all. of these other kids and see what they. look like you don't know that so right. now what you're doing is you're. experimenting with north you're. experimenting with her you're.

experimenting with her psychology you're. experimenting um and assuming that it's. going to be okay i wouldn't let my child. be the test on me for social media in. this age and i don't think she should. either so just throwing a little support. toward kanye thanks guys for watching.
