Our partners at Gabb Wireless tell us that in the last several years, there has been a significant decline in youth mental health and troubling incidences of youth violence.
So how do emojis have anything to do with self-harm and violence? The Crisis Text Line analyzed over 129 million messages and discovered that those who use the pill emoji (đź’Š) in texts with the hotline were 4.4 times more likely to die by suicide than others. (Crisis Text Line, 2020)
Most cell phones (even Gabb Phones) have emojis. Usually, emojis are a fun way to communicate with others and express yourself. In most cases, emojis are harmless, but parents need to understand how emojis can be used to indicate self-harm and violence.
This information is meant to empower parents to take a second look if their kid is using any of these emojis in a negative way. Also, use Promo Code LYNNSWARRIORS for a discount to devices to keep your kids safe.
