Bullying among young people remains a huge issue, which can lead to self-harm, anxiety, depression, difficulties at school and can negatively impact relationships.

As Kooth’s independent research shows, parents and carers don’t always know bullying is happening, with one in three young people suffering in silence.

Kooth and The Diana Award have produced a powerful film, “The Pretender” that’s based on the experiences young people share with Kooth. Starring a talented group of young people, it tells an emotive story of a boy being bullied on his phone.

Freya found support through Kooth when she was being bullied at school. She made a video describing her experiences and how Kooth helped, commenting: “Their resources and advice really helped me and without them I wouldn’t be who I am today.” You can view this film here

In another film consultant psychologist at Kooth Dr Hannah Wilson explains the serious impacts bullying can have on the mental health of young people, while encouraging parents and carers to make conversations about young people’s lives online part of our everyday lives.
