What Can Adults to Do Help?

A common thread in responses over the whole project (and this has already been talked about in Chapter 2) is these three requests:Listen

Understand

Don’t Judge

As we have discussed before, this is not something that has changed. The “don’t judge” call came loud and clear from many young people in our discussions. When a young person turns to an adult for help, as a result of concern or upset about something that might have happened online, or even if they are simply curious about something related to technology and they have a question, it comes as no surprise that they wish to be listened to by someone who can appreciate what has happened and has clear advice on what to do. Or just to answer their question without fear of being told off for asking it. As discussed above, some young people were confident they could do this with some adults, and others were less confident. And there was a clear feeling that for some of the more complex issues older teens faced (such as sexting), adults would generally not respond in a calm and supportive manner. It should be noted that it was not just professionals who were viewed like this. When speaking young people from older classes, they were equally concerned about disclosing to a parent. In the case of non-consensual sharing, one young person said they would never be able to disclose that to their parents if it happened to them because their father would “kill” whomever did the sharing.
