Unplugged Uprising: A Teen's Guide to Breaking Free from Social Media (Paperback) (ISBN-13: 9798271156663)

Unplugged Uprising: A Teen's Guide to Breaking Free from Social Media is a straight-talking guide to taking back your time, attention, and confidence online - written by 17-year-old author Avia Kesler. By eleventh grade, Avia founded a school club called Unplugged Uprising that inspired this book, guiding more than twenty students to reclaim their lives and build stronger habits offline. Instead of lecturing about "screen time," she pulls back the curtain on how today's platforms use algorithms, dopamine loops, and FOMO to keep you scrolling - and how that affects mental health, sleep, body image, identity, and relationships.

With relatable stories and quick "Try This" exercises, Avia teaches digital literacy, mindful habits, and simple tactics to curate your feed, set boundaries, and use tech on your terms. Perfect for teens - and for parents and educators who want to help without shaming - this book bridges the generational gap and replaces "just put your phone down" with empathy and practical tools. If you've ever wondered why your feed feels addictive or how to feel better after scrolling, Unplugged Uprising shows what's really happening behind the screen and how to reclaim control. It's not about quitting the internet; it's about owning your attention and shaping a healthier digital life.
