In a book I think is a must read, Jonathan Haidt's The Anxious Generation, the author looks into the effects of a combination of smart phone and social media activity beginning among teens in 2012, the first year a majority of 12 year olds had a smart device. It is hard not to think that the differences in LGBTQ identifications, amongst previous, phone free generations, and the Zs that Kimberly Ross notes here, are not correlated to social media.

How can someone identify, explore, and experience their natural diversity when they are always scanning, scrolling, texting and being influenced.
