3️⃣ Support could come in different forms. Young people called for better regulation, effective content moderation, more parent involvement, consistent school policies and safer digital spaces where they can be themselves.

1️⃣ Constant access to digital technologies is a double-edged sword. While it connects them to opportunities and communities, it can also amplify pressure, misinformation and overwhelm. For them, social media is essential to communication, making it hard to step away.

Born Connected: how Gen Z navigate their digital lives - contains powerful insights from young people across the UK ‪‪- take a look at this thread @donnamolloy.bsky.social @thecyberpsyche.bsky.social @internetmatters.bsky.social @youthfutures.bsky.social @childrenssociety.bsky.social @ncb.org.uk
For our Grown Up? programme, we asked 14–24-year-olds how digital technology shapes their lives.

For many, the line between online and offline life has blurred, particularly since the pandemic. But this isn’t how they want to live. They want a greater balance; to experience the best of both worlds.

Young people in care are being pushed into independence far sooner than their peers, & are faring particularly badly amidst the social & economic upheaval facing Gen Z. Find out more in a new article for the Foundation's Grown up? project from Lisa Harker @nuffieldfjo.bsky.social.
