heather and i would really compliment dr murthy for taking this stand, you know?0 or 40 years ago that surgeon general came out and said that cigarette smoking is hazardous to your health, and i would tell you that this is a game changing moment when looking at social media and the impact on young people. we are in a youth mental health crisis and social media is a big factor in that crisis. okay why do you believe it's a game changing moment? because it's like when the surgeon general put the warning label on cigarettes for people. it's sort of legitimized it for everybody. every parent, every young person. any teacher you could say. wow the surgeon general says this so for vivek murthy to come out and say that is a game changer in terms of public perception. and remember , i run the biggest kids, media and tech group in the country, so we're not negative about all social media. but there's no question is the father of four that social media can have a really damaging effect on young people's mental health, whether it's encouraging eating disorders, loneliness an

murthy, good morning.e cdc report came out in friday, it dropped the jaws, i think, of a lot of parents, that showed especially teenage girls, young girls, 60% or something like that have feelings of persistent sadness and hopelessness. we talked about suicidal ideation, all these things that just break the heart of anybody who read that study. is there any doubt in your mind that this huge spike in that is directly linked to the proliferation of social media? >> well, i'm issuing this advisory because i am concerned that it is, in fact, linked. there are open questions we have to answer here. part of the challenge we have had in getting answers to all the questions we have about the full extent of social media's impact, who is at greatest harm, what the mechanisms of harm are, is researchers have not been able to get all the data they need from technology companies. it's something i hear all the time from researchers around the country. that's something that has to change. look, i recognize that some of t

vivek murthy has mentioned in interviews is this overuse or this addictive nature of social media.nk first thing to say here is that, you know, it's becoming clear this is not something parents should have to do alone, manage this on their own. it needs to be a multifaceted effort with involvement from policymakers and tech companies as well. at the same time, we know that parents do play a major role in helping their children navigate social media. i think there are three aspects to that. communication, setting boundaries and modeling. with communication, we want to be asking our kids questions, understanding what they are up to online, with setting limits. we want to be putting boundaries and limits in place on what they are doing online and how much time they are spending. and then with modeling we know that parents' own social media use can have a major impact on teens' use of social media. we want to be modeling those healthy habits that we want to see on social media from our kids. >> yeah, my question as a parent is how long can i keep my little children away from social med

vivek murthy says social media's effect on the mental health of young people isn't fully understood yet it is a main contributor to depression, anxiety and other problems in the nation's teenagers. dr murthy is asking lawmakers to address the harms of social media in the same way they regulate things like car seats, baby formula and other products . children use the report released from 95% of teens between 30 18 and 17 used social media with about a third saying they're on it almost constantly. last year students and eight and 10th grade said they spent an average of 3.5 hours a day on social media. and while most platforms require users to be 13 nearly 40% of kids between eight and 12 years old say they use social media noon, state superintendent of public instruction tony thurman today addressed declining enrollment at public schools, many school districts across the state and beyond are experiencing sharp drops in student enrollment. factors include more parents choosing private or home schooling for their children and people moving out of california. population decline has been ong

vivek murthy said that social media use presents a profound use of harm for kids and his new advisory which is widespread, considering that up to 95% of kids ages 13 through 17 report using social media. a third say that they use it almost constantly. and the advisory says that nearly 40% of kids age 8 to 12 are on social media platforms. the surgeon general says that he is concerned that social media is contributing to the harms that these kids are experiencing the middle of this current mental health crisis. dr. murthy says that social media companies should be required to operate by the safety standards to protect children. >> it is urgent that we take action to protect our kids and to make sure that their experience on social media is safe. we've done that for other products that kids use, for medications, for cars and we haven't asked parents to go inspect the car themselves and make sure it's safe. we have set safety standards and required manufacturers to implement and abide by those standards. we have to do the same thing here. >> joining me now to discuss is francis hogan, ad

dr vivek murthy is the first surgeon general to issue an advisory on it., he compared the health risks of social isolation to smoking a dozen cigarettes a day. dr moorthy�*s office is proposing a national framework, to in his words "rebuild social connection and community in america". and here's why. at any moment, about one in two americans is experiencing measurable levels of loneliness. in a recent study, americans spentjust 20 minutes a day with friends. that's down from 60 minutes nearly two decades ago. less time with friends, more feeling of isolation. and young people are feeling the strain more than most. those aged between is—to—zii reported a 70% drop in time spent with friends during that same period. the us surgeon general has been speaking to the bbc about the effects of loneliness. when i went to medical school i didn't learn about loneliness and isolation. what i have learned against then it is a medical issue the rays of risking and physical illness like raising degree of stroke is profound, the increasing risk of premature death associate
