The rise of teenage girls feeling unsafe at school - FFT Education Datalab We look at data from the TIMSS study that shows a sharp rise in the proportion of young people who don’t feel safe at school.

These findings connect directly with Netflix's hit crime drama "Adolescence," which poignantly explores the dark consequences of school bullying and social media harassment. The show's raw portrayal of social media bullying echoes the real-life safety concerns highlighted in Jerrim's research.
