There are no communities for young people in my town. No communities in general except for church, and even they hold online services. Social media is all we have so trying to cut it out means isolation

This is the same reason my generation drank, smoked, and did drugs. Nothing for young people to do (except bowling, movies, and the aforementioned hobbies).

Yup. We had to find places to hang out together. Behind buildings. Train tracks. Nearby park or woods. Sit on the curb bored as fuck.
