She explained that the prefrontal cortex, which is responsible for planning and impulse control, is still developing, while the limbic system, which manages emotion and reward, is highly active in adolescents.
"Social media really amplifies this contrast in terms of brain development in adolescence," Stoeckel said, adding to the need for real-world connection.
"Social media platforms have been very strategic in terms of using algorithms to create this sense of urgency," she said, of that natural desire youth have for peer connection. Once teens gather, the group dynamic can temporarily override their "discrepancy from their values and their identity development" as they become caught up in the momentum that originated online — what Stoeckel described as "deindividuation."...

"It's not out-of-control youth," Abrams said, per City Journal. "More often than not, it is a desperate need for connection. ... If you are a teen today, you grew up — or came of age — during Covid, when you were locked down."

Yahoo News: the name says it all!
