Yorkshire Evening Post
|April 16, 2025
Hit Netflix show Adolescence has sparked fears over teen slang-but emojis are not causing radicalisation, write language experts Jessica Kruk and Lauren Gawne.
Jack Thorne and Stephen Graham's crime drama Adolescence has earned widespread praise for its portrayal of incel culture and male violence.

This story is from the April 16, 2025 edition of Yorkshire Evening Post.
