Not every European country is set against their teenagers using online time.


"Maltese parents are among the least negative in Europe about the impact of screen time on young people, according to a new EU-wide study on adolescents’ use of screens, social media and mental health.

The Flash Eurobarometer survey found that, across the EU, parents are far more critical than teenagers about the impact of screens and social media. At EU level, 51% of parents said screens had a negative impact on the lives of young people, compared with 29% of adolescents.

The report shows that parental criticism was lowest in Malta, Luxembourg, Denmark and Ireland, peaking in countries such as Greece, Portugal and Poland."
