Whether or not you were tuned into President Nelson's worldwide devotional last night, you probably have already heard the news: the youth are taking a seven-day social media fast. 

And while some above the age of 18 are also taking the challenge, most adults can sit back and enjoy the following week as the youth struggle to stay away from social media. In fact, here are some hilarious tweets from youth and adults alike:

President Nelson just asked members of the church to go on a 7 day social media fast. Which is cool and all, but I’m having my baby tomorrow...sooooo who’s gonna like his debut Instagram pic? — Corinne Kinser (@Corinnekin) June 4, 2018

Unpopular opinion: it’s not required to announce via social media that you’re taking a week long fast from social media. — Julyn Wnkelman (@JulynWinkelman) June 4, 2018
