Qualitative work illustrates kids’ struggle to manage the environment Boy: When you are downloading music, there is this screen at the side with a girl doing dirty stuff! Boy: Some ads come out with those girls, in their bra, showing their whole body. But you can’t put it off … it’s there all the time.” (Spain, boys, 14-16) There was a message that bothered me, once. It was my friend, who was talking to me. (...) And my friend sent me a message that was a picture of me and I opened it and it was linked to a pornographic website! (Portugal, girls, 15) I received a friend request from an old man (31 years old), a stranger. It was very creepy.” (Belgium, girls, 14-16) As soon as a pop up comes up, I don’t like it because things will come up on pop ups. Pop ups will become more pop ups and it’ll just become a big pop up mess. (UK, boy, 12) Yes, and then it (grey bar on YouTube) gets stuck. Then a pop up comes up, for example, it would be women, you know those women you can buy! Real life women! Like you. They are selling them so that men can take advantage of them. (Malta, boys/girls, 14-16)
