I thought For once we wouldnt sit back and try to defend a lead
But once again we make our own bed
Again and again and again. We sit back and lose the game

At 16 you can:
1) Vote
2) Join the Army
3) Play the lottery
4) Have sex.
5) Drive (provisional, full licence at 17).
However, you cannot go on Facebook in the evening.
Makes sense, Keir. Thanks.
@ally_wood82 For me, without it I wouldn't have had the ability to connect with people who ACTUALLY understood what I was going through and access the support and material to get me through.
YouTube I struggle to understand a ban on.
Twitter saved me as a teen.
Other apps I maybe get..
My childhood was incredibly isolating and lonely. I was heavily bullied throughout school.
The birth of many of these apps quite literally saved me. A chance to connect with other teens with interests I felt completely alone in.
I struggle to understand a blanket ban.
We are banning social media access for under 16s.
These days kids must find their feet in a world where technology intrudes into every area of their life.
I just canโt let that go on anymore. So weโre giving children their childhoods back.
@ally_wood82 I'm in my 30's now so doing much better now thank you :). In large part due to social media and my ability to connect with people all over the world. Hope you are too x
I work with teens so I can see both sides of the arguments for and against social media but...
Struggling to understand some of these. Some I totally agree with.
But YouTube offers a wealth of education and focused content.
Whats to stop kids accessing them via their parents devices anyway?
