Need not being met also often results in behavioural problems which if not handled well by the school can negatively affect other classmates, and add stress to what limited staff are left, resulting in higher sickness rates which also has a budget impact for supply staff. Such a mess. 2/2

Sickening, and very worrying.

Yes. I would support age appropriate social media, just as we have age appropriate films and gaming. We didn't ban an entire age group from watching *all* films, just the films not appropriate for that age group.

I am 100% behind the idea of protecting children from the damage they are currently exposed to, but the currently proposed approach I think is completely wrong. 4/4

The technology and the way the social media platforms are using knowingly addictive methods to make money from viewing time and ad clicks should be the target of any legislation. 3/4

Instead, to protect children and young people from such content we introduced age ratings. Same for video games which in the 90s were supposedly producing uber-violent children, now age rated protections are in place. 2/4

Very much agree. White is a poor choice, and the design is just dull. It reminded me of the ones you get at the end of an e.g. 10k run.
