Why it matters

Young people live online every day — but too often decisions about digital life are made without hearing directly from the people most affected.

This parliamentary drop-in brings young people face-to-face with MPs and parliamentary staff to share real experiences of growing up online, including AI, social media pressures, and addictive design.

The event launches a new youth-led report shaped by young people aged 11–19 following a national youth town hall supported by FlippGen, 5Rights, and DSIT.

Young people are speaking up

Real experiences from young people navigating digital life today.

“I love gaming, it lets me escape, but in the past year or two, a lot more of the attitudes you see in social media comments have made their way into chatrooms, and sometimes I just don’t feel like I belong anymore.”

Female, 10 years old

“I wouldn’t have a job if it weren’t for social media, I’ve used it to build a community and find opportunities beyond my local area that I simply would not have been aware of otherwise.”

Male, 20 years old

“I use it for advice, to talk to, it’s like a friend that you don’t fight with. It writes my texts, chooses what I eat. I don’t know what I could do without it anymore.”

Male, 16

“I’d like a version of social media that lets you connect and share ideas, but that doesn’t tell you how to think.”

Female, 13

“I don’t want to see the same stuff 16 year olds like my brother are seeing, but I’d like to see what’s safe and relevant to me.”

Female, 10

“We’ve never met each other, we agree on some things, and disagree about others, but we disagree well, why can’t they?”

Male, 11
