13... ...boyfriend… …PS4… ...Fortnite...

MFW. Yeah, okay. I get it now.

prevent others from doing the same

I mean, I applaud your initiative. I’ve been out of touch with the kiddos for a long time now and didn’t have a “standard” childhood myself… Thirteen… does she have any other hobbies? Feminine ones? She’s at the age where she’ll want to rebel against the world; what better way than to make her realize how “self sufficient” she can be–not as a “strong woman who don’t need no man,” but rather–as a traditionalist woman who can cook, sew, manage a household, and gets a squoombly in her wombly whenever she thinks of future children?

Fortnite was created as an addiction facilitator to farm whales for cash. She doesn’t know this, nor would she care about it. But she’s at the age where she would (or should) start to be caring about the kind of boys she spends her time with. It’s a good time to hijack her desires to get her to understand “If this is the kind of interaction he wants to have with you now, he’s not going to be there to provide you with a deeper relationship when you want more out of him.”
