For today’s youth, the screen is not just a tool — it is a world. But what happens when that world becomes more real than real life?

The Digital Adolescent explores the rise of screen addiction, digital isolation, and the mental health crisis facing children in the modern age. With smartphones in hand before they can speak properly, children are now growing up in a reality shaped by algorithms, notifications, and comparison culture.
This book dives into the psychological, emotional, social, and even spiritual effects of living life through a screen. It explores how real-world friendships, focus, creativity, identity, and family bonds are all slowly breaking down — replaced by filtered illusions and digital overstimulation.
Backed by current research, parental experiences, and a values-based perspective rooted in conscience and faith, this book calls on adults — especially parents — to intervene before the damage becomes permanent. This is more than a parenting manual; it is a wake-up call to save an entire generation from disappearing behind the glow of their devices.
