What is a troll? If you support young people who might be victim to trolls, or who might sometimes troll others, this episode is here to help! You might have heard of the Blue What Challenge, Momo, The RoRo challenge and be at your wits end of how to broach the topic with young people. We myth bust these 'digital ghost stories', with some ideas for how to fact check, how to avoid spreading panic and why some people want to spread that panic in the first place!
We also talk about the ways that celebrities engage in trolling, trumpeting extreme opinions to stir everyone up and get themselves trending on twitter.
Trigger Warning - in this episode we discuss self harm and suicide.
