Youth Digital Wellbeing Research Report
Young people today face a wide range of challenges, some familiar but in digital form such as "stranger danger" and "bullying"—and others entirely new, like scamming and digital addiction. Despite these pressures, young people are surprisingly savvy about the risks they encounter. They demonstrate critical thinking and employ various strategies to protect themselves and each other, showing a level of media literacy that often surpasses that of many adults. As parents, whānau, and educators, supporting and preparing students for this evolving digital landscape is essential. This report not only aims to highlight pressing digital wellbeing issues but also to reinforce confidence in young people's understanding and capability. Young people invite us to collaborate as allies, urging us to engage with understanding and to support their journey through the online landscape without judgment.
