Bill O'Reilly here and I'm warming up. Stand by for the O'Reilly Update Morning edition.

But first, on this Friday, the American Journal of Preventative Medicine says one in five

adolescence in the USA are suffering from depression, 20 percent, to which I reply,

that's all. It's rough out there in Kidland. Social media can harm children grievously,

and today every child is locked and loaded with a cell phone. Childhood has never been

gentle. You'll remember. Bullies, false friends, competition over appearance, nagging parents.

Don't know about you, but I felt liberated when I got my driver's license at 17. End

of Kid status for me, it was a relief. Now, young people are never liberated. Social media

attacks are vicious and often anonymous. I confronted bullies in my childhood with my fists.

Today, you don't even know who is trying to hurt you in the Twitter universe. So who's

surprised, the 20 percent of American children are depressed. And of course, that state of

mind can easily lead to substance abuse. The answer to my question is, no one is surprised,

but here's the sad fact. No one is doing anything about this. The viciousness on social media

is getting worse. And every single American child is at risk. Back after this. That is

the morning O'Reilly update. More analysis later on.
