Read the passage.

Screen time can have positive effects and can be used for learning, but it can also be negative and toxic to teens. At home, teens use screen time to connect with others, watch videos, and play games, but also to engage in social media banter and sharing. At school, students may watch educational videos that connect to a lesson.

Either way, teens are getting more screen time than ever before. Both parents and teachers need to set limits. Just because the technology is available does not mean it is always helpful, experts say.

Teachers who wanted technology in their classrooms are now finding it to be a distraction, as students use devices for noneducational purposes.

Technology-free schools do exist, as do technology-free homes. Some teens may be able to handle more screen time without the negative effects, but not all of them can, says Tara Bahrampour from the Washington Post. Parents and guardians may be able to adjust screen time at home, but not every place will allow for those limits.

Overall, it is important to limit screen time to prevent technology addiction.
