ones you find on nicotine products and alcohol. dr. vivek murthy says social media's effects and impacts on youths is a nationwide emergency that needs to be dealt with. so our kevin ko spoke with a teenager who was addicted to social media and a doctor in silicon valley to find out more about this urgency. >> reporter: caleb is a gen zer who was addicted to social media. >> i lay in bed five to eight hours. it's kind of like sleep paralysis. you know you're in a dream, but you can't get out. >> reporter: once she realized she was addicted, the teenager says she wasn't sure what to do. >> it's scary because like i had no one to guide me because my parents had no idea how to use social media and how it works really. so i feel as though our generation's the first to experience it and we kind of experienced it by ourselves. so as i got into social media, i started to see
5:31 pm
the negative impacts of social media, both mentally and i guess physically. >> the last decade for sure we're seeing a rise in mental health concerns in young people and while we may not be able to quote an absolute direct correlation between social media and those mental health concerns, we are seeing some pretty clear indications that excessive social media use can lead to mental health concerns like worsening anxiety and impression. >> reporter: dr. lynnette shu is a child psychologist. >> social media's ways of engaging with you can change things like dopamine pathways and can lead to patterns that look like addiction. so even though we're saying it's not a substance, the way our brains interact with it can create
5:32 pm
addiction behavior-like patterns. >> reporter: that's why dr. shu supports u.s. surgeon general vivek murthy's new push calling for warning labels on social media platforms. >> i really respect the steps that are being taken to secure the better mental health of our young people. >> reporter: murthy says warning labels would state social media is associated with significant mental health harms and not been proved safe to use. it would be similar to warning labels on nicotine products. >> that similar analogy between cigarettes and social media is very fair and based what we're experiencing and witnessing. >> reporter: jason frost is the co-founder of wired human, an organization advocating for protecting children from the worst that social media can offer. >> putting that label on social media is accountability and saying no, these are actually human beings that you are destroying lives. you are burying children in the ground and people need to be made aware of by our government and
5:33 pm
at a societal level of those dangers. >> reporter: the government is tackling social media harm in several ways like last year when a federal lawsuit filed in 41 states, including california, accuse canned meta of knowingly designing and deploying atur to keep younger users online longer, pracy proton t and n's line collecting data on children under 13 years old. >> two-thirds of young people 13 to 17 say they're using social media every day and a third of them say they're using social media constantly. putting the warning labels can perhaps empower parents to be able to engage with their young people, perhaps even engage as a whole family around how we can make sure that we are managing this resource responsibly. >> reporter: that's exactly what happened with kayla when she finally logged off social media. it wasn't hard for you taking the break? >> oh, no. it definitely was,
5:34 pm
but luckily my parents helped me. they set time limits on my phone. so parents have an equal responsibility for slurring thhee safe online. >> reporter: when it comes to placing warning labels on social media platforms, it would require congress to first pass legislation. >> we reached out to meta this morning to ask about the potential warning labels on its platform and asked what meta is doing to combat mental health harm for teens and kids. we have not heard back. tomorrow the los angeles unified school district could become the largest in the nation to ban cell phones. the board will vote tomorrow on the plan that would ban use of cell phones and social media during the school day, including during lunch and breaks. the policy would take effect next year. the district is still working on the specifics. a live look at san francisco city hall, top contenders for mayor about to square off in their second debate tonight at 7:30 at uc college of law, san francisco.

5:39 pm
of age and a dog's risk of developing certain cancers and joint disorders. the big takeaway, waiting a bit can have a long term benefit. >> the main additional message is that with most breeds simply delaying the age at which the animal is neutering can take care of those increases risks of joint disorders and cancers. >> reporter: do we know why that delay can help? >> gonad al hormones are extremely crucial. it would be a horrifying idea to remove them from a human, but we got accustomed to the idea of doing that with our dogs. >> reporter: because of the research ey' updated their guidelines when to neuter 40 popular dog varieties depending on breed or sex. bottom line, d >> just encouraging people to
