Summary

Netflix’s hit drama series Adolescence has shone a light on the pressures faced by boys growing up today, and the rise in misogynistic violence that frequently hits the headlines.  

It tells the story of what happens to the Miller family after 13-year-old Jamie is arrested in a dawn raid for killing a girl in his class. 

Sky News' political correspondent Tamara Cohen and Labour MP for Darlington Lola McEvoy join Niall Paterson to discuss Sky News’ exclusive survey of a thousand kids aged 16 to 17 about what they see online.  

Is social media solely to blame? How should schools and parents be safeguarding young people? And what is our collective responsibility in tackling toxic masculinity?     

Producer: Rosie Gillott  
Editor: Philly Beaumont
