Hi
there, students. It's the Prime Minister here and I
wanted to speak to you directly about something very important.
From December 10, if you're under 16, you're no longer allowed to have a social
media account.
You'll know better than anyone what it's like growing up with algorithms,
endless speeds and the pressure that can come with that.
That's why we've taken this step to support you. If you have questions, by all
means reach out. Talk to your parents, your teachers and your friends. And if
you feel like you need more support,
headspace, and kids helpline is there to
assist.
Above all, make the most of the school holidays coming up, rather than spending
it scrolling on your phone. Start a new sport, learn a new instrument, or read
that book that has been sitting there on your shelf for some time. And
importantly, spend quality time with your friends and your family, face to face.
Have a great summer.
