Ms Tara Trevaskis Hoskin:

Even though we are talking about the negatives of the Internet, social media has quite a positive effect when trying to share information among young people. From our first Wicklow survey to find out the problems, we started off by giving the survey to each person by hand. We did not get even half the responses as when we did it online, where we received more than 1,000 responses. It is a much easier way of sharing information. It is important that if one makes video tutorials, they should speak on the young person's level. It should not be someone lecturing; it needs to be more open and conversational. This would make the message more accessible. If it is for young people, it should be made by young people or incorporating young people.
