Six years ago, a Minnesota mom challenged her son (12 at the time) to avoid social media until he turned 18 in exchange she would pay him $1,800. Well, he’s 18 now and I bet you can guess the first thing he did!
It all started when mom saw her older daughter struggle with self-esteem issues and depression from too much social media, so she made the offer to her son: Stay off social media until he was 18 and she would pay him $1,800.
Sivert admitted it was tough at times to feel “out of the loop” but his friends kept him up-to-date.
“On the whole, I would say totally worth it. I mean, I would do it again.”
Sivert did, however, sign up for Instagram and Snapchat (and probably Tik Tok) as soon as he cashed that check on his 18th birthday.
