Share Your Cringe Moments

Are you a social media savvy teen with an opinion on everything from relationships to jobs to parenting? Do you think adults are out of touch with the 21st century? Do you cringe at the thought of what your parents wrote in their diaries at your age?

OR

Are you an adult who documented your teenage woes in a diary? Are you baffled by the expansive digital world of Facebook, Twitter and Snapchat? Do you secretly look to today’s teens for 21st century tips?

Channel 4 are looking for adults and teenagers to take part in a new web-series exploring the ever-evolving trials and tribulations of being young. The concept is inspired by the popular Netflix documentary Mortified Nation.

Scandal of LGBT Hate Crime Exposed

Fear of how they will be treated is leading to thousands of lesbian, gay, bisexual and transgender people (LGBT) not reporting hate crimes. As a result perpetrators are evading justice, a new report published today reveals.

Evidence suggests around 35,000 cases of hate crime committed against people because of their sexual orientation go unreported every year. The work, supported by GB governments and produced for the Equality and Human Rights Commission, found that 88 per cent of LGB and T people had experienced some form of hate incident leaving them with emotional and physical scars.

Yet research conducted by the University of Leicester's Centre for Hate Studies found only 14 per cent of lesbian, gay and bisexual victims reported their most recent experience of hate crime to the police.
