Fox News
Florida moms Quisha King and Laura Zorc are sounding the alarm on new CDC data revealing 57% of high school girls experience persistent feelings of sadness.
In an effort to determine the root of the societal shift, Quisha King placed blame on the public school system, calling it a "hub" for harm. Kayla Bailey is Digital Production Assistant with Fox News.
"They're being inundated with ideas that don't affirm, really, who they are. They're saying 'no, who you really, truly are, that's not really good enough.' And I believe that the public school system is the hub for all this harm is happening to our little girls," King said on "Fox & Friends Weekend."
Mom Laura Zorc bolstered King's assertion, noting the detrimental role social media can play in the development of young girls. In another alarming study, approximately 84% of teenagers between the ages of 13 and 18 are using social media, according to The Common Sense Census: Media Use by Tweens and Teens.
