Netflix hit

The sandy drama about the risks of generalized, violent radicalization, Misogine content online – A practically invisible world for many major generations, has grabbed the British audience and caused a national conversation that extends from school doors throughout the country, to the office of the United Kingdom Prime Minister in London.

Forcing the spectators within an unbearable reality, the program captures the worst nightmare of a father. “Adolescence” follows the story of Jamie, a 13 -year -old boy arrested for a murder that his parents simply cannot believe he is able to commit. But it is quickly clear that he did it, and his motive shocks and initially perplexed his parents, along with the police and the mass audience of the program.

He also touched a chord in the halls of power.

“As a father, seeing this program with my teenage son and daughter, I can tell him that he hit hard,” said the United Kingdom Prime Minister Keir Starmer, to journalists at a round table two weeks ago.

“This is not a challenge for which politicians can simply legislate. Believe me, if I could launch a lever to solve it, I would do it alone. Just listening and learning from the experiences of young people and beneficial organizations, can we address the problems posed by this innovative show,” he said?

The spectators receive what, for the majority, it was probably a first look at the world online that corrupted Jamie. His victim, a classmate woman, had intimidated him and called him an “ince” which is the abbreviation of “involuntary celibate.”

Absorbed in his punishment and left to spend hours moving through social networks, Jamie is under the influence of the Incel community, online men who yield hate and encourage violence against most women, who say they do not find them attractive.

These points of view among the adolescents of the Z Generation are generalized in the United Kingdom, a recent Survey of Amnesty International of the United Kingdom of the British between the ages of 16 and 25 years discovered that an overwhelming 73% of the users of the social networks of the Z generation of the gene generation have witnessed inline misogynary content, and half they say they find it weekly.

Starmer announced that Netflix was doing the free show so that secondary schools throughout the country transmit them, in an attempt to help students understand: “The impact of misogyny, the dangers of online radicalization and the importance of healthy relationships.”

While some fear that the risk of normalizing negative behavior is running, child welfare experts have told News themezone to shine on the subject is very long.

“We have to protect our children allowing them to look at the material if they are presented and critically evaluate, ‘is that something that should be looking?'” Susie McDonald said, CEO of the British Charity tender, News themezone.

The tender has more than two decades of experience working with students to prevent violence and abusive behavior. The group produces guides and resources for schools to support teachers, parents and caregivers to navigate conversations about the issues explored in Netflix’s success.

At the beginning of April, Tender conducted a workshop at a school in western London to help children between 9 and 11 years old learn to navigate difficulty and recognize control behavior through games and drama. The workshop involved children who defined phrases such as “Gaslighting” and waving physical red flags to identify problematic language when they heard him in acted.

“Through scripts and through different games and exercises, they are rehearsing the relationships that begin as friends,” McDonald said. “As they age … As relationships may become more intimate or romantic, they can apply everything they have learned about what you want from friendships in those romantic relationships.”

Noel McDermott, a psychotherapist who works with young men convicted of violent crimes, told News themezone that there must be a better education on the subject, especially for young men.

“We have to start teaching our children that you must take responsibility for who you are, what you are and where you are in life,” he said.

McDonald warned that they did not focus too much on the susceptibility of young children and men at the risk of reducing the attention that is paid on the broader issue of violence against women, but said that he believes that children in particular need to be protected at an early age.

“What we cannot do is blame children,” he said. “But we have to change our narrative. We have to pay attention to children and we have to protect children from becoming perpetrators.”

“During eternity, we have been seeing how we protect and prevent girls from becoming victims,” ​​he told News themezone. “But if we are going to achieve that, we have to work with boys in a really supportive way, to say: ‘You can be part of preventing violence against women and girls.”
