This is pick of the week on B.B.C. Radio will start on B.B.C. Radio 4 fare and we are sifting through just some of our best clips from the past week broadcasting and it was as always a busy week it was time once again for the annual school report project where we are least putting scary journalists on the airwaves did we find the next Stephen Nolan school report of course is a project for Levante a 10 year old students to get them involved in journalism gives them the opportunity to make their own stories and have them published on the B.B.C.

News stories but whatever news you understand both. May provide It's like mental health. Side of public services so at the moment there's things of this storm and what I am concerned about is mental health for example specially in young people today there's a lot of issues with mental health like I had to read up online like 75 percent of young people are showing of mental health and there is also this play at things in play a special skill and there's kind sir is there is mental health and busters and especially this bullying can contribute to mental Half a lot that we have like billing ambassadors which is good because it always is things to help young people but there are still people struggling who can't speak up because they're scared or they don't want today and if you were to pick another issue nourishing. All astray I think I'm worse in this car and I think the hell this is literally something that is pushed so far but you kind of become desensitized to it yeah you have that people sometimes don't take you seriously because I always exams it's just stress we're actually there are people who've committed suicide because of mental health which is just awful I think it's it's encouraging that you're talking about it openly and you want to talk about it more what about just generally in terms of the news and. Under Ferguson and the B.B.C. For that matter do you feel part of it do you feel like you've got a voice and access to have a voice or not.

You only have to look around at the Student Union at Queen's University to see everyone is glued to their phones but I go back a lifestyle or. One in 5 it to 11 year olds a social media profile that's according to the Ennis P.C.C. We'd be exploring some of the pressures young people in an online world from body image to sexual predators cyber bullying over the last year the N.S.P. . Service has seen a 25 percent increase with $258.00 children below the age of 18 receiving counseling for anxiety David is the chief executive of action mental health and he says social media is partly responsible the continuous issue of being 24 hours 24 is that people want to scape in from social media and indeed maybe throughout the night you know house either being sleep deprived as well Anecdotally I can say that our. Primary school programs on our psyches for our being inundated with requests for assistance they get parent of teenagers myself I know that certainly social media is playing its role but I'm sure it is having an impact on them I know that officials to 6 say that on average the age of 10 children have the 1st phone there on that phone so she would have 4 by 4.55 hours so you know what what what is born with a looking at social media platforms of I think have a lot of responsibility and I think a recently there have been some press officer was respected them recognizing that she saw the algorithms which they have which are part of the whole social media offer and are actually quite addicted and I think they need to look at themselves and recognize that they are having a negative effect on children's wellbeing in month measurements all of yourself against others is a big issue and that leads to issues of the don't worry about their body image. And just generally and the lifestyles of the people who are leading and of course there's also the other issue that other children recognize that able to measure up and stop bothering them and saying and that makes a snide remarks them as well and that's to be the sole spiral or then feeling worthless and leading to maybe so farming and study so there is evidence for that so farming is going up quite considerably as a result of all this I was in a school this morning and there were children there who talk about so camouflage in their real life and so be upsetting to be the perfect person the perfect celebrity in the not life. 23 year old carney understands this too well I'm just suffering from depression and I don't spend a controller to be honest I never was it was. Beyond my control I didn't know Documenting everyday life online. Was. My previous photo as I forgot I had this one which I prefer. Pancake photos I think the. University survey which find that more than half of the undergraduates who took part suffered mental health problems professor. Says one issue is that young people feel they need to be constantly connected and are unable to. Just. Unfortunately. It makes people. So we have phones that can take. And they can be really really quick all around the word there is the potential of people who are vulnerable and people are vulnerable to behaviors and compulsive behaviors and. Are drawn to. Her and. Take their time and. It's very difficult. To school. From interacting I read recently about it that the both the to get from promoted tweets and then see all the responses you know that's really reinforcing that behavior and it can be it can just can be very time consuming and this kind that it consumes is often the time that young people should be sleeping or studying or doing other things or socializing with their friends in real life and things that are much healthier for them and more promoting of their mental well being 1000 year old common Jordan brine is one of these politike social media users Facebook I would say I would tend to be on daily from 10 to post probably every couple days or probably post daily and scram of posting away Twitter I would probably pushed all that before I go to sleep Channel 4 and soon as I would go check my phone automatically like the 1st ideas and it's really stupid this strikes true mostly east and forward someone every day you go on and you get a straight long one on interview Lusaka real good some people feel really badly and I think it will fall because they could last like 400 days straight growth of a state you have a useful my heart I think was 140 solo and he wrote this straight it's so long I was away with her for a week and we were up and we wrote the book The tall one tree there is no 2nd only where. I literally find myself. Walking just from different locations just trying to get and I'm single just to send those I somehow managed to do that but at the same pattern once I was on then it was fine of. But then as soon as I woke up next I was like Right I mean they're around to do this they do time or I'm out all my kicks and they are just like OK I can't lose us like whenever I talk about it I realize the shoot but it sounds at the end of shows a cure you're out of like your talk of your love the shrink and like what is talk to someone of that it sounds very hard for me to like say Hi I'm feeling to people so they're for. Kind of just like for would there if you change your profile picture something like If you see it do you way Oh you see Vox people like a comedy do you get a rush you do get. You feel good about yourself you feel good about your I meet each at the same time if you post some fun no one sees a no one comments that are wise to that and all of Aki you feel really Bob because it's like OK we'll hire them just not interesting social media socially is very hard because like a scared oppose it can achieve so much like it can help achieve goals and how you talk about topics and hope you get your point across at the same time if you try to get your point across but no one percent the or no one sees that and you just feel worse just kind of you start comparing yourself there everyone else life over they get they get they always get this one to life for they always get the some of the comments or their friends are always that way more interested in their posts than they are lying and you kind of kind of turns on the light. I think that's the kind of a high school friend of mine who's the most popular except you have to deal with deal and you don't really get any break from what because it's constantly going on I feel like it's really I think of impossible for me to stop completely away from social media somebody feels like it's actually been my friend side keep in touch with all the way that ties see what's going on psychologist study hard specializes in eating disorders she says the perfect images posted on social media can be a trigger for young people most of my clients were present in way anorexia or bulimia or disorder. Mostly anorexia some very very sick clients and Tans I'm sure a lot of them are on social media did they mention the apps that they're on. Yeah they would talk about it by and especially Instagram where they follow their people with eating disorders they're here are in recovery and some find it very helpful. And supportive where they can watch other people ate and recover and they are posting pictures of their fit and their bodies and mental health and starters in particular can be very isolating own this is not a lot of people understand them and there are a lot of communities aren't there that offer support there's a lot of progress cover a websites and forums that they can join and be part of and they can use those platforms to. Help each other days that they're struggling they can use this platform for motivation to stay around there's also an issue as well with these Rexy at social media websites you know they're encouraging that amongst young people yeah absolutely that's the quote inspiration where they will go on and post pictures of their bones and how much they've lost weight and. Share attempts or aren't hard to feel fill not give in to their hunger which is obviously drive in the very dangerous sort of behaviors I mean some of the big names have taken steps to. Get rid of these sorts of 5 sites and Instagram with removed hash tags around and when you click on it it will pop up and say Do you feel like you need to talk to someone about this which is Grant but I mean as with these things they go in to grind a teenager's brain in doesn't have the it's not fully developed I cannot alter brain so it's not useful always to know that well there's the end isn't reality and so someone who's maybe suffering from the word self-esteem will see these pictures and unveil hugely inadequate and I'll never be as good as them or is then is that more to be happy you have to be like that person and I'm not like Therefore I'm not good enough and so there is a cause a huge problem and their friends edges are altered and everybody's presenting. Side of their life and they what we tend to do is take what we the bad of what we have been compared to the good of what other people have and there's often a break published 25 North has written a book documented her 30 year struggle with on the record she has no direct that social media would have made it worse I know it would've and typed it on a new high it must end packed anyone who's mentally ill today whether it's disorders or whatever if you're vulnerable and you can't see rational and so you it becomes something else to mentally big deal with it becomes an other added source another pressure that you think everyone else is griot everyone else is high and yet I am not and I feeling and we hope moment for anyone else you don't have the strength to put the phone dying or get out of that because you're hooked the whole issue is the ocean media is the connected 247 that the ounce which will much of an issue with. You or your nose point would have been another nightmare because your own messes with you 247. Salutes with the media that you wouldn't have the strength and I know I wouldn't have to strength to turn off. And not to see what people were going or those comments of the author was pictures and I would not have the health say in mind or body. To actually. Not lessen our not punish myself by what I see in the air what would you say to young people not if you are suffering with an eating disorder you are addicted to their phones hoping obviously they have already contacted some other of the organizations out there to get help try to use it in a healthy way social media has a lot of positivity and if used in a healthy manner come be very helpful anyone with a mental illness again and whatever type of mental illness need to talk they need to share so the potential for social media is enormous if used in the right way you need to reduce your time you need to restrict what you are to Cannot the young people's constant presence online can also make them a target for predators.

Figure so I do believe there is a big society and it's hard to read this thing where people just think they can open their might not for free on a keyboard and say whatever they want about another person that's that's a horrible 5000000000 and it south isn't a criminal offense so we can't even record them I cannot tell you how many offenses were reported to them last year for bullying because it's not an offense that elements of bullying can constitute an offense so depending on what's been said to the fact that it could be the strap on the screen and could come of damage it could be blackmail bullying can have devastating consequences Monte Chisholm who lost her 16 year old daughter Allie in April last year she took her own life after being targeted by cyber bullies since she was 11 and he was she was a full nothing go.
