If your adolescent son is online, he is almost certainly seeing content that promotes masculinity and suggests troubling things about girls, according to research published on Wednesday.
Most boys, 73%, see content about digital masculinity regularly, which includes posts about fighting, building muscles and making money, according to a new Common Sense Media survey.
Boys with higher exposure to this kind of content have lower self-esteem and are lonelier, according to the July survey of 1,000-plus boys ages 11 to 17 living in the United States. These boys are also more likely to hide their feelings and believe they shouldn’t express emotions, such as by crying or showing fear.

I have lost my Son to video gaming and YouTube video watching. He spends ALL his time on his smartphone, PlayStation, and PC. I can barely talk to him. He only wants to be kept alone, immersed in his virtual world. He is 15. I don't recognize him anymore which scares me a lot.

Greetings, i took away the gaming device from my eldest son who is 13 years. His video gaming started as an escape as he was struggling with his social life.

My 12 years son is gaming all the day and late at night while we are all sleeping. His favorite game is Fortnight. After months of gaming, I barely know him.
