Our 13-year-old doesn't have IG/FB/Twitter and he is fine, and even proud about it. He does have Minecraft, Discord, and other video games (and some access to YouTube at his other house, but he doesn't have an account). There are of course problems with every platform, but we have watched a bunch of the social media documentaries and talked about it, and he's aware that what he is "missing out on" is primarily the kind of interaction that won't leave him feeling good. Being off "social media" doesn't mean being without communication with other kinds online.
