Childless millennial, so I’m not sure what teenagers are like today, but wouldn’t talking openly about wanting teenagers to use an officially-sanctioned space be the easiest way to ensure they don’t?
It’s only one piece of (damning) evidence vs a perpetual bombardment of bullcrap. At any age we all suffer different degrees of learned helplessness (which we call finding a compromise). From what I remember teenagers do feel more peer pressure and network effect, but that’s about it.
