Our latest research about teens and tech

We’ve released new research about teens and tech, following a survey of over 630 parents and carers across the country. We found that: 

• nearly 60 per cent said that their teens’ social media use was of concern to them 
• nearly 50 per cent said they were concerned about their teens’ internet use
• 28 per cent of those concerned said it had ‘a lot’ of impact on their teens’ wellbeing.

It’s important that teens understand the pros and cons of social media, and how to look after their wellbeing in the process. The good thing is, this can start in the classroom.
