Kristin Gallucci’s daughters, Nicolette, 13, and Gianna, 11, aren’t anti-social — they’re just anti-social media. 

Gallucci, 46 and a marketing director at Adobe, has never permitted her girls to have Instagram, TikTok or Snapchat on their phones — and they’ve been happy to oblige.

“[They’re] time consuming, and you don’t really get to enjoy what’s happening in the moment,” Nicolette, who lives with her family near West Palm Beach, Florida, told The Post. 

Last week, Jennifer Garner, 51, made news when she revealed on the Today Show that the three children — Violet, 17, Seraphina 14, and Samuel, 11 — she shares with ex Ben Affleck, 50, aren’t allowed on social media.

“I just said to my kids, ‘Show me the articles that prove social media is good for teenagers, and then we’ll have that conversation,'” the actress said, noting that Violet is “grateful” not be allowed on the various apps.

A December 2022 survey by Morning Consult found that 54% of Gen Z’ers report spending at least four hours a day on social media.

But some outliers, such as the Garner-Affleck kids and the Gallucci girls, are totally abstaining and loving being disconnected.

“I’m not comparing myself to my friends or people on the internet,” Nicolette said. “I’m much more accepting of myself. I’m more in tune with my own thoughts and feelings.”

Gianna, a fifth grader, echoed her older sister’s sentiments.

“A lot of my friends are fighting on social media. It’s where problems happen and it’s all just really horrible,” she said. “I’m gonna stay off of it.”

Some kids aren’t logging on on their own accord — no parental guidelines required.

At age 10, Noah, a multi-hyphenate athlete and recent “student of the month,” from Dublin, Ohio, opted out of the apps to protect his mental health.

Now 14, he’s glad he did.

“It’s too much of a distraction,” the 8th grader said.

“I have school work and sports, I need to focus on those things more than social media,” he added.

“I don’t feel like I’m missing out on anything. I don’t want to go through all the stress of constantly being online.” 

His mom, Tarah, 35, applauds her son’s resolve — even though she makes a living as a a neurodivergence advocate on TikTok, where she has a fanbase of over 363,000.

“We have people in our family who struggled with mental health issues brought on by their use of social media when they were kids,” said the married mom of three, who withheld her last name for privacy reasons. “Hearing their stories helped Noah make the decision to stay away from it.”

NYU Langone adolescent psychologist Yamalis Diaz says the potential to develop serious anxiety from social media is real.

“There’s this pressure to always be posting, creating, editing, keeping up with the streaks and trends. It’s like a job,” she said. “All roads lead to increased anxiety.”

But, she says, kids are wising up.

“Some teens are beginning to realize that when they’re on social media, comparing themselves to others or striving to live up to a certain expectation, they’re not feeling good about themselves,” said Diaz.

A 2020 study conducted by Facebook, the parent company of Instagram, found that the social medium knowingly exacerbates negative body image, low self-esteem, anxiety, depression and, in extreme cases, suicidal thoughts in at least 32% of its young female users.

But Hansa Bhargava, a pediatrician and former senior medical director at WebMD, says social media isn’t all bad.

She believes it can be a great way for teens to connect with friends and family, though, of course, it can also take a toll. 

“The brain is not fully developed until a person is in their early twenties,” said Bhargava, adding that premature stress could lead to anxiety, depression and suicide.

Nicolette has no regrets about being offline.

“I’m happy that I’m not following the crowd,” she said. “It’s a relief to be able to follow my own heart rather than having to follow the crowd.”
