Nearly 95% of UK teenagers are on social media. But what's it actually like? In this episode, we hear from young people Aaron, Alex, Chloe, Freya, Marcus and Maya about life online. We also hear from practitioners Karolyn Daye-Collis from All Minds and Dr Irene Warner-Mackintosh from the Mhor Collective.
From finding community and managing anxiety, to broken algorithms and the pressure to be perfect - we explore the good, the bad, and what adults keep getting wrong. We ask whether banning social media is the answer, and what would actually help young people feel safer online.
