"Pew Survey: Teens Find Happiness and Peace Without Smartphones"

A Pew Research Center survey reveals that nearly three-quarters of U.S. teens feel happy or peaceful when they are without their smartphones, despite the majority not limiting their phone or social media use. Concerns about teens' relationships with their phones and social media have been growing, leading to lawsuits and testimonies from social media company CEOs. The survey also found that most teens believe smartphones have more benefits than harms, with 95% of U.S. teens having access to a smartphone. Additionally, the survey highlighted that about half of parents limit their teen's phone usage, and there are frequent arguments about phone use within families.
