Is a Social Media Warning Label Enough?

Imagine this: you scroll through your feed, laughing at memes and catching up with friends. Suddenly, a big, red warning label pops up like on a cigarette pack, telling you social media might be bad for you.

That's the idea behind the Surgeon General's proposed warning labels for social media platforms .?

While raising awareness is important, at BonfireDW (your partner in digital wellness!), we believe there's a more powerful solution.

Here's why a warning label isn't enough:

• It's like putting a bandaid on a broken leg. We need to actively support teens, not just tell them there's a problem.?
• It doesn't teach healthy habits. Teens need to learn how to navigate social media responsibly, not just avoid it altogether.

We urge legislators, educators, and parents to invest in programs that truly equip teens for a healthy digital life.

So, what's the BonfireDW difference?

At BonfireDW, we are committed to leading this charge. Together, we can create a future where digital wellness is not just a goal, but a reality for all.
