'Adolescence', the Netflix show, is an impactful series that provides vivid insights into the challenges, growth, and complexities of teenage life, as well as the tech-propelled rise in a new wave of toxic masculinity.

We propose that this show be incorporated into the school curriculum or endorsed as a supplement to classroom teachings on digitial literacy. According to an American Psychological Association study, visual narrative storytelling, such as that seen in 'Adolescence', can significantly augment learning and comprehension, particularly in subjects related to social and emotional health.

The Irish Examiner has also reported on the need for more deliberate attention to mental health issues within secondary school curriculums.

Let's embrace the potential of media to instruct and inform. Sign this petition to make Netflix's 'Adolescence' a compulsory part of the learning experience for Irish secondary school students.
