    Social media and teenagers

    Being a parent in the age of social media is confusing. It's hard enough trying to understand feeds, stories, 'DMs' and 'finstas', let alone differentiating between safe and unsafe behavior for teens online. Parents understand that social media is how teens communicate with their friends, find information and learn new things about the world. That means it's often not realistic to block access to it outright. That's why we wanted to ask: how can parents wrap their heads around social media? And how can they help their teens manage their social media habits? Join us to hear from Mia Garlick, Facebook's Director of Policy for Australia and New Zealand, and Ashley de Silva, ReachOut's CEO, who will chat about the platforms out there, their positive and negative impacts, and practical tips for parents looking to help their teens manage their use of those platforms. Later, we'll hear from Shameen, a mum of two, and her 17 year old, Jay. Together, they'll talk about how they work together to manage Jay's social media usage.
