Ban social media for under 13 instead of under 16

Ban social media for under 13 instead of under 16 — 10 signatures. Status: rejected.

Petition background

Well lots of children above 13 use there phones at school to get in contact with parents use some apps to help them get through daily struggles and school apps like teams ect it makes more sense to ban it for under 13, some children rely on some websites like samaritins kooth ect so please consider.

Additional details

Like I said some of these children rely on some websites like childline, samaritons, kooth ect and the NHS 24/7 website some children use it for school apps like teams and some use social media to cope i understand that you want to protect children but I feel like ban it for under 13 would be much better than under 16 please I beg of you put this into consideration thank you
