Make the legal age for social media users to 18+

Social media has a massive negative impact on our children. I want the legal age of social media users to be 18 and to be enforced. I would like those that wish to make a social media account to have to provide I.D of their age via email before their account can be set up.

There are too many children under a negative influence from using social media. Drug taking, drinking, self-harming, suicide, murder, bullying. They SHARE these on social media because they think it is cool. If we don't act now, these things are going to worsen. It's our job to protect our kids.
