The guy didn’t use social media for 6 years to win argument with mom

Social networks have many advantages, but they also have disadvantages that some parents are very worried about.

A mother from Minnesota (USA) named Lorna Goldstrand Klefsaas did not want her son Sievert to use social networks too often, but she was not going to simply forbid him from it and found another way to distract the child from the smartphone.

When Sievert was 12 years old, his mother made a bet with him, according to which he had to forget about social networks until adulthood, and then receive an award for this – $ 1,800. The child accepted the challenge and excluded social networks from his life for six whole years.

“In general, I am not against social networks, but I am for their healthy use. People shouldn’t be dependent on them,” explained Lorna, Sivert’s mom.

Six years passed without any problems and nervous breakdowns due to the lack of social networks, because before the bet, Sievert had not yet had time to get used to them and did not think that he was missing out on much by not using them.When the guy turned 18, he completed the task given by his mother and received his cash trophy.

As a result, when the guy turned 18, he successfully completed the task given by his mother and received his well-deserved cash trophy, which he is going to spend on arranging a room in a university dormitory.

Now Sievert is free to use social networks, but he does not spend too much time on them and is more likely to study or play sports.
