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.

There is a lad init whose one of the main characters,I used to bonk his sister.

He's a horrible Kopite...think he's only one of a few Scousers in it.

P.S, was it Sean Bean's sister? You old dog you.

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.
