Can social media have a negative impact on young people's mental health?I think there is a new wave of identity politics sweeping social media and having a direct impact on young people. The emphasis is now very much on Gender rather than biology, which means if youngsters dont fit a gender stereotype they are classed as non gender conforming. Also, in current celebrity dominated culture the emphasis is very much about appearance, and again what is considered attractive stereotypes. The selfie obsessed social media promotes this relentlessy. As an older generation, we need to wake up to the enormous pressures that are happening around sex and gender. Youngsters are in danger of having their lives ruined by an ideology that has swept into all major institutions.ViewDate:

Should we have a second EU referendum?So true! Many of us had very little idea of what we were voting for or the consequences of our decision. I spent ages reading and listening to different arguments and camr to the conclusion it was well beyond my capability. People voted on simplistic, false promises.ViewDate:
