Great job. No one could have possibly figured that out without a study. Now what are you, as educated adults, going to do to unfuck the society you built?

Hmmm how about cutting taxes for the rich, it how we solved climate change, lgbt issues, women rights, civil rights, and how we fixed the economy. Just got to keep cutting the 1% taxes and it solve everything!!!!

They fucked this society on purpose because they measure their self-worth based on how many people (including children) they hold power over.

Now that we have a study, it goes from "unproven anecdote" to "studied fact" and people will take it more seriously

Honest question here: who do you think is going to take it more seriously now that we have what was already assumed with a study to back it up? I'm all for data to back up assumptions, but I'm struggling to see what difference it will make in this case.

This can be used to argue for future studies of loneliness in children (since this was an analysis of previous studies over the last century.) It can also be used to support a budget for more counselors in schools, paid activities for children to meet each other, and finding ways to identify kids who are lonely and screen them for depressive symptoms. When you're asking someone for money, having a study to point to is often the difference between success and "maybe next year."

I doubt mommy or daddy will fix anything and relying on others to facilitate change when other’s behavior is largely out of your control may not reach your goal. What are you going to do to change yourself and your behavior to facilitate societal change since you are a product of this society?
