The new Netflix four-part drama Adolescence, now available for schools to view with Into Film+, has had an instant cultural impact, intelligently driving the conversation around the rise of misogyny, dangerous online sub-groups and social responsibility. 

This short guide introduces the themes covered in the series as well as some of the language and terminology used in the online subcultures that Adolescence makes reference to.

Afterwards, for further exploration of the series, follow the link below to access a pack of RSE/PSHE lesson plans and activity sheets created by Tender which have been commissioned by Netflix to discuss Adolescence. The resources focus on key themes such as stereotypes, misogyny and personal values, and aim to enable all students to feel empowered to make positive choices.

Updating our resources
