SchoolTV Update  

SchoolTV has launched a special report on social media and comparison culture. Young people today are growing up in a world where exposure to other people's lives is constant. Through social media and other platforms, they are regularly presented with curated highlights. This continuous stream of idealised content fuels what is known as comparison culture, where self-worth is often measured by how someone stacks up against others. It is important that parents and caregivers understand how comparison culture can influence a child's self-perception and sense of value. This Special Report will help you empower your child to build the resilience and confidence needed to navigate today's comparison-driven world and embrace their own unique path.
