social media

Teenagers are increasingly relying on platforms like TikTok and Snapchat for news, yet their trust in social media remains low. A new study explores how the youth encounter information online and why they remain sceptical of AI-generated content.

A record 350 secondary schools across the country are participating in a dedicated week of sexual and relational education. The programme focuses on helping students navigate the complexities of online sexuality, sexting, and the impact of social media on their self-esteem. By providing teachers with specialised tools, the initiative aims to bridge the gap in current school curriculums.
