6. Yes, in China, you will receive – or + points, stating you have been bad or good.

7. OK BOOMER

8. If we spent time less worrying we be more productive

9. Since I discovered YouTube I seem to spend a lot of time having disputes with people I wouldn't DREAM of meeting in real life. Partly it's useful to have my own convictions prodded .. but some comments are vaguely alarming. Come the revolution I'll be hung from a lamppost till I piss myself and choke to death. Apparently.

10. Being a role model is the key too. Children learn by copying. 50-80% of adults on a bus or train are on their smart phones, they actually encourage it with free wifi. You might see a few folk not actually on their phones but still grasping them in their hands, almost like it's like a comfort thing.

11. Teach kids to block and report abusers.

12. Shouldn't judge social media by the worst examples of its outcome. Bullying along with the need to have friends and belong has always been there. Most young people have balanced lives where they do a range of stuff – playing sports, studying, cinema, shopping, video gaming, music, working, watching tv….social media is just about communicating and sharing content.

13. For all the young people..remember that most are followers..don’t walk behind anyone..let them see your back..you do not have to prove yourself

14. I see too many people these days that cannot venture anywhere, even stores and cafes, without the phone in front of there face and tethered to a dog leash with the other hand..very dependent and insecure

15. Bullying is wrong.. blaming all of it on Social media feels like sidestepping the issue

16. There are many ways to get depression and suicide. People were experiencing the same before smart phone or social media.

17. 3 years of online bullying? I’d like to see HIS posts. Unlikely it’s just people being mean and him being nice.

18. The irony that I'm watching this on one now!

19. What did he do to get bullied

20. Blackmirror

21. The BBC are a bunch of nannies.
