NO MORE 67 

BY: Nevaeh Mackerley

It's 2026 you still can hear the whispers of 6-7 in the halls of PJMS. Let's see what “brainrot” does to you.The findings reveal that brain rot leads to emotional desensitization, cognitive overload, and a negative self-concept. It is associated with negative behaviors, such as doomscrolling, zombie scrolling, and social media addiction, all linked to psychological distress, anxiety, and depression.  One study showed that doomscrolling may lead to higher levels of psychological distress and lower levels of mental well-being. Another found that people who have high levels of negative news consumption also have poorer mental and even physical health.

This shows that we are killing our brains making a worse future for ourselves. Let's stop 6-7 and focus on normal things.
