Anger issues

If kids do end up with an addiction to a device and they dont get to use the device for a while, then they will possibly end up with anger issues which more than likely, end up hurting their academics and lower their garde and possibly their attention span.

Cyberbullying

Children can be exsposed to cyber bullying early which can be both good and bad, as controversial as that may be if the parental figure comforts them and explains that most people say things just to be mean to make others feel bad that can help them build a resistence to being bullied, but negatively it can cause them to feel bad for themselves and possibly cause depression in the future if left unnoticed.

Dissociation disorder

Any child if left alone to be on the internet for a long time and no supervision can see things that they shouldnt whether it be inappropriate or somethin/someone that they compare themselves to which can lead dissociation disorder meaning they can start having doubt that'll more than likely lead to depression.

I think that there should be a age limit to be able to get onto the internet since theres a lot of possible negatives if its not done right and seeing how most of us here in this place are already impatient enough, I think that there should be an age limit to the internet, and that limit should be 18/19 considering consenting to letting some websites and apps look through you data to recommend you things you might be interested in, you should at least be the age of consent.
