Committing to 16 educates kids, teens, and parents about the reasons to wait until 16 to get social media and provide comradery in a support system. They recognize the importance of kids and teens coming to their own conclusion about the dangers of social media and having ownership in their decision to wait. Check out their website so Idaho kids under 16 who don’t have social media will know that they are not alone: www.committingto16.org
