The UK government has confirmed a social media ban for under-16s.
We’d like to hear from 16 and 17-year-olds about their views on the social media ban. What are your thoughts on the ban coming in when 16-year-olds will soon be able to vote (at the next general election), and when they can pay taxes and join the army. Do you welcome it or do you have misgivings?
Share your views
Please share your responses in the form below or by messaging us. Normally we ask for views from those over the age of 18, as written below, but on this occasion we would like to hear from people aged 16 and above.
Please share your story if you are 18 or over, anonymously if you wish. For more information please see our terms of service and privacy policy.

We will only use the data you provide us for the purpose of the feature and we will delete any personal data when we no longer require it for this purpose.
