Study reveals nearly half of UK girls exposed to harmful social media content weekly

13 Haziran 2026The Guardian

A recent study by the Molly Rose Foundation reveals that nearly half of girls aged 13 to 17 in the UK encountered harmful content on social media within a week. This includes exposure to topics like suicide, self-harm, and eating disorders.
Despite the introduction of new safety measures, their effectiveness has been minimal, leading to calls for stricter regulations, including a proposed ban on under-16s accessing certain platforms.
The rise of social media has coincided with increasing mental health issues among teenagers, particularly girls. The findings from this study underscore the urgent need for effective policies to protect vulnerable users from harmful content.
The alarming statistics from the Molly Rose Foundation highlight a growing concern regarding the impact of social media on young girls' mental health. The ineffectiveness of current safety measures suggests a need for more robust interventions and regulatory frameworks.
