About The Webinar

Social Pressures

What are social pressures online?

Children and young people are interacting with the online world more than ever. Online platforms and groups can provide a wonderful sense of belonging for children and young people.

They can find peers with similar interests and circumstances which can sometimes be difficult to find in real-life.

Furthermore, online relationships can actually make children and young people more relationship-oriented, thoughtful, and empathic.

But interacting with the online world can also bring with it a number of ‘pressures’. Social media in particular is often scrutinised as having a negative impact on children’s mental health.

For more information on the associated risks and online safety tips for parents and carers, watch our explainer video, available to those with a National Online Safety membership.
