It is not the first time I deal with the issue of ITC tools and an incorrect use by our teenagers and kids. Remember this post not long ago: Loneliness, isolation, teenagers, sex!!!
... and now the case of social media and pornography related with young schoolchildren in many of our schools in Spain has come up. Our society, especially parents, must be very alert of all dangers and risks our children go through when they have a mobile phone in their hands.
Here I present you with listening exercise about the topic: Social media and teenage health (6 Minute English, BBC Learning English)
Here are some articles for you to read about the issue:
