This is Sid Stovold.

Sid is 15 years old. At just 13, severe bullying behaviour forced him to leave school. He lost his confidence, found it hard to connect with others and reached a point where he didn't want to be here anymore.

We were there for Sid during that time, reminding him that he wasn't alone and that things could get better.

And they did!

Sid found the Bell Tavern in Deeping, Peterborough - a weekly darts session open to any young person under 17 who wants to meet new friends.

Sid now competes in 4-5 ADC vaults every week, has just been signed to the Cambridgeshire Youth Players Super League at both county and premier level, has 4 sponsors and this October he takes part in the ADC national finals.

From a really difficult and lonely place, to a sport, a community and a bright future.

The brilliant people at IMR Cambridgeshire Darts heard Sid's story and have included the BulliesOut logo on the official Adrian Lewis Exhibition shirt free of charge.

💜 We are so proud of you, Sid.

Meta has been ordered to pay almost $1 billion after a judge ruled that it did not do enough to protect children on its platforms.

Most of the money will go towards supporting young people, including access to support and treatment, as well as programmes aimed at preventing harm. Meta has said it will appeal the decision.

This ruling highlights an important point: keeping children and young people safe online cannot sit solely with parents, carers and schools. Social media companies also have a responsibility to consider the impact of their platforms and take meaningful steps to create safer digital spaces.

Young people should be able to enjoy the opportunities that technology and social media provide - connecting with others, learning, creating and expressing themselves - without being exposed to unnecessary risks or feeling unsafe.

Preventing online harm requires a shared commitment: from platforms, educators, families, communities and young people themselves. It means listening to young people, improving digital environments and addressing bullying behaviour wherever it occurs.

Do you think social media companies are doing enough to protect children and young people online?

Nearly 85% of 16 to 18-year-olds say they would switch off the Government's proposed overnight social media curfew.*

That statistic tells us something.

If so many young people don't believe a curfew is the answer, we need to understand why - and what is really driving the challenges around social media use.

For many young people, social media is an important way to stay connected with friends, share experiences and feel part of a community. But for others, being constantly connected can bring pressure - the worry of missing out, feeling they need to respond instantly, keeping up with conversations, or being concerned about what might be happening while they are offline.

Late-night social media use can also affect sleep, leaving young people feeling tired, less able to concentrate and more vulnerable to the impact of stress and online pressures.

Keeping young people safe online isn't just about restricting access. It's about creating digital spaces where they feel safe, respected and supported - without feeling they have to be online constantly to protect friendships, avoid exclusion or prevent bullying behaviour.

No single feature or restriction will solve online harms. It requires education, support, responsible platform design and a collective commitment to tackling bullying behaviour wherever it happens - both online and offline.

What are your thoughts? Is a social media curfew enough, or should the focus be on helping young people develop healthier, safer relationships with technology?
