French Schools to Show "Adolescence" Episodes
A TV show called "Adolescence," which is about kids and the bad things they see online, is going to be shown in French schools.
The show explores how the internet can influence young people to do bad things.
The government wants kids to watch clips from the show to help them understand the dangers of spending too much time looking at screens and the effects of violent content online.
The French Education Ministry is creating special lessons around the show, which will be shown to students around 14 years old.
The main idea is to start important conversations about what kids watch online and the problems it can cause.
The British Prime Minister supports the idea, believing it's a helpful step for kids.
French schools will show excerpts from the British Netflix series "Adolescence".
The series focuses on online influences and violence among young people.
French Education Ministry will offer educational sequences based on the series.
The initiative aims to raise awareness of screen overexposure and violence.
The series has had over 141 million views, making it Netflix's second most watched English-language series.
