Viral "Yes You Can" Trend Raises Concerns About Age Appropriateness and Online Safety

Social Media Trend Sparks Debate on Age Appropriateness and Online Safety A recent trend on social media platforms has raised concerns among parents and child safety advocates. The trend, known as the "yes you can" trend, involves young people born between 2013 and 2014 creating videos stating they cannot date those born in 2013. The videos often incorporate popular audio clips and are widely shared amongst this age group. "The problem with this trend, other than the fact that people from 2013 should not be dating, is that there are a lot of people in the comments of these videos that really should not be there," says NoahGlennCarter, a social media commentator who created a video criticizing the trend. Carter's video highlights the potential risks associated with the trend, including the exposure of underage users to inappropriate content and interactions. He also points out the age gap implied in the trend, which raises concerns about the maturity level of the participants. His video has garnered significant attention, prompting discussions about parental supervision and online safety for young people. Experts emphasize the importance of parental involvement in monitoring children's online activities and educating them about safe online practices. The trend serves as a reminder of the need for ongoing dialogue between parents and children about responsible social media use. The increasing popularity of the video is a testament to the growing concern among parents and the broader community.
