Netflix's 'Adolescence' & Online Safety


​Netflix's recent miniseries, "Adolescence," has captivated audiences with its poignant exploration of the challenges faced by today's youth in the digital era. The series centers on 13-year-old Jamie Miller, portrayed by Owen Cooper, who is accused of murdering a female classmate. Through its gripping narrative, "Adolescence" delves into critical issues such as online grooming, cyberbullying, and the profound influence of social media on young minds.​

Breck Foundations take on new netflix drama Adolescence

The Breck Foundation, established in memory of Breck Bednar—a 14-year-old tragically lost to online grooming—recognises the significance of "Adolescence" in shedding light on the hidden dangers lurking in virtual interactions. The series serves as a stark reminder of the importance of educating both children and parents about online safety and the potential perils of unchecked digital engagement.


In "Adolescence," viewers witness how Jamie becomes entangled in harmful online subcultures, highlighting the ease with which vulnerable youths can be drawn into dangerous virtual communities. This narrative mirrors real-life scenarios where predators exploit digital platforms to manipulate and harm unsuspecting victims. The Breck Foundation emphasises the necessity of open communication between parents and children, encouraging proactive discussions about online activities and fostering an environment where young individuals feel safe to share their digital experiences.​

Moreover, the series underscores the critical role of education in combating online threats. Schools and organisations must prioritise digital literacy, equipping students with the knowledge to navigate the internet safely and recognise warning signs of predatory behavior. By integrating online safety education into curricula, we can empower young people to make informed decisions and protect themselves in the digital landscape.​


"Adolescence" also brings to the forefront the challenges parents face in monitoring their children's online interactions. The Breck Foundation advocates for parental engagement and awareness, providing resources and support to help families understand the complexities of the digital world. By staying informed and involved, parents can play a pivotal role in safeguarding their children from online dangers.​


The Breck Foundation commends "Adolescence" for its unflinching portrayal of the digital challenges confronting today's youth. The series serves as a powerful catalyst for conversations about online safety, underscoring the urgent need for collective action to protect young individuals in our increasingly connected world.​


For those seeking to understand the complexities of online interactions and the importance of digital safety, "Adolescence" offers a compelling and educational viewing experience. It is a call to action for parents, educators, and communities to unite in fostering a safer digital environment for all children.

"Adolescence" on Netflix raises important questions about online safety for teens. It's a heavy topic, much more intense than managing orders at Papa's Pizzeria ! The series really highlights the dangers lurking online, especially cyberbullying and grooming. It makes you think about how social media impacts young people, and how we can better protect them from harmful influences. A must-watch for parents.

The Breck Foundation’s take really hits home—open communication and digital literacy are crucial for keeping kids safe. I love that the series sparks these Escape Road City tough but necessary conversations.
