It raises awareness for certain but nowadays, after a few weeks it will all be forgotten about sadly. It’s great the awareness is there and hopefully it continues to be.

People like to say it starts at home, and it’s on the parents, to some degree, the is truth to that, sometimes there isn’t. A lot of households now have both working parents, who need to work and sometimes can take away from bringing kids up properly. Also a lot of single parents. You can raise a kid the right way, but what happens if they turn out to do something wrong or become naughty/dangerous? Then on the other hand you’ve got a single parent who’s struggled and not been there for the kid as much, turn out to be a perfect example of how young people should be? It’s so difficult isn’t it?

I’m a big believer in no child/young adult should have access to social media(including YouTube etc) until they are at least 18. It should also be heavily monitored. Great example in adolescence was them taking about that Andrew Tate(gobshite) people like him having influence is a scary thought. We need to get real with these kids and stop sugar coating it, stop giving them false hope of telling them, they can be whatever they wanna be in life, seriously they can’t. Kids want you to be real and honest with them, they can see through the BS that people who are meant to be in respectable positions are telling them.

Politicians are failing communities and they need to be held accountable. You know what’s a joke but actually funny, the Ali G film when he becomes a politician and he’s taking about keeping it real, it’s what we need. People calling it out and stopping the nonsense that goes on.

Totally agree mate esp Andrew Tate

But I firmly believe this won't be forgotten in a couple of weeks though.

These changes HAVE to come.

I remember having a dad and lad chat with my eldest lad when he had just turned thirteen, about whether he had a girlfriend.

He looked at me horrified and told me that him and all his mates kept well away from girls, as if you upset them in anyway, they`d ruin your life online, posting stuff about you being a beast or a nonce and once that happened you were finished in the school, so it was just much easier not to get involved with them.

At the time I was quite shocked and thought it was really sad, but having watched Adolescence I now fully understand.

It`s not just in state schools either, as a lot of the lads he played rugby with went to public schools and it was just the same, if not worse for them too.

That doesn’t surprise me and it’s quite tragic too.
 
Not watched it , but does worry me for when my son gets older...I think this is another big generational shift on a par with the 1960s, older generation not understanding a younger generation with very different culture, values etc...after be very careful so try and understand what's going on rather than judge..also I'm not convinced banning hones is the solution

Glad mine are grown up, in their 30's and settled. If I was young today I wouldn't be having any.

Finished Adolescence last night.

That was a tough watch , can't praise Stephen Graham enough for how he put this together , the story as it unfolds is harrowing , the cast & acting are superb.

Hope it brings a much needed in depth look at what kids are subject to at the click of a button. Plus making adults aware of the danger all kids are in once they enter that world.

The look on Erin Doherty's face when the young lad ( brilliantly played by Owen Cooper ) flips will stay with me for a while.

Started watching it today, fantastic bit of tv, completed ep2 and has been said it is difficult subject matter, but I can’t get that final scene in ep2 which went from outside the school to Stephen Graham getting out of his van…..absolutely amazing.
