“We as adults have a responsibility – we can’t just point our fingers and blame them. They didn’t create social media, we did.” Raquel Borras
Netflix latest streaming sensation ‘Adolescents’ has sparked a global conversation about our teens. The British production cinematically shot in one take per episode, explores the life of youth living in a virtually connected world…where emojis are used as code and bullying is taken to a whole new level.
Although the series is fictional, it’s hard to escape the uneasy feeling that what we’ve created and allowed access to as a global society was not very well thought through.
Unleashing violent video games onto impressionable minds to recruit a generation of soldiers, may have been the first step, but unfettered access to adult content via social media was the last.
My guest Raquel Borras from San Diego, is amplifying youth voices. As a mother and content producer, she believes Gen Z is struggling with an overload of information, telling me “They just feel lost”, and that we (Gen X and Y), “need to hold ourselves to account” for their behaviours with phones and social media.
Far from just highlighting the problem, Raquel is connecting with Gen Z – meeting them in their digital world to create a platform for the healthy exchange of ideas, showing interest in their lives, and to listen to them. Now she hopes to bring their stories to life in a documentary, so that others can understand and have compassion.
