Adolescent family therapist Hattie Awe has warned that constant digital stimulation is leaving many teenagers with less time to develop individuality. She argues that uninterrupted access to content prevents young people from sitting with their own thoughts, emotions and unanswered questions.

Her argument comes from clinical observation rather than a study proving an entire generation is losing its identity. Research nevertheless supports the broader concern that adolescence is a crucial period for exploring values, interests and future roles—and that digital experiences can influence that process in complex ways.
