Netflix's drama "Adolescence," depicting a 13-year-old boy's involvement in a fatal stabbing and the detrimental effects of social media, will be screened in UK secondary schools to foster discussions on online harm. With 66.3 million global views, the series has sparked significant debate in the UK. Prime Minister Keir Starmer supports this initiative, aiming to educate students on misogyny, online radicalization, and healthy relationships. The charity Everyone’s Invited highlights the rise in child-on-child sexual abuse, advocating for education over social media bans to address misogynistic attitudes early. This effort underscores the collective responsibility to mitigate the negative influence of smartphones and harmful online content on children. (PC: AP photo & The Economic Times)
