If someone said they'd pay you ﹩1，800 to stay off social media for six years，would you do it？Could you？Sivert did just that.
   "I thought it was awesome， "Sivert told CNN， "I thought，Ah，what's 6 more years？" In 2016，Lorna challenged her 12-year-old son Sivert to stay off social media until he was 18.If he completed the challenge，she'd award him the cash on his eighteenth birthday.On February 19，2022，Sivert claimed his prize.
   Lorna was inspired by a challenge she heard on the radio called the "16 for 16"，where a mother gave her daughter ﹩1，600 when she turned 16 if she stayed off social media.Lorna told CNN she decided to up the bet（賭注） to two extra years and ＄200 more.
   Sivert said it wasn't too difficult to live without social media，and he didn't think about it much during the six years.As a boy of 12，he wasn't using social media much anyway.He also had his friends keep him up to date on the latest information or trends. "I got to avoid all the unnecessary drama that was on there， "Sivert added.
   Lorna said she never had to check for any secretly downloaded apps. "He's so competitive；it was definitely more for proving a point， " she said. "It also meant he had more time to focus on his grades and sports instead. "
   Now ﹩1，800 richer，Sivert hasn't thought about what to buy，but it'll likely be something for his dorm room at the University of Northwestern St.Paul in the fall.Being able to attend the college he has been dreaming of is his proudest achievement.
   But he has already decided on his first app into social media：getting Instagram. "There's definitely a learning cycle， " Sivert said. "I see my friends fly through their social media apps and I can't do that quite yet. "
   After Sivert's success，Lorna took to Facebook to share the challenge.She said it was some of the best money she'd ever spent.Other parents have seemed interested in trying it out too.
