'Peer pressure used to be in high school - now it’s online and it’s really getting out of hand. You see an online challenge or dare almost every day. They’re definitely getting more serious and more stupid. We want to say that it’s ok to say no.' Sarah Baker and Emma Roberts are campaigning with Fixers to warn young people about social media challenges, which can encourage participants to risk injury or even death. Social media crazes like Neknominate – where you nominate a friend to drink a large amount of alcohol – have claimed five lives in the UK. And others, like the salt and ice challenge, have left many with permanent scarring from burns. Their story was broadcast on ITV News Calendar on Thursday August 4.

Stop It Before It Starts

A young woman who was asked to prove her homosexuality by kissing another girl, wants people to recognise the fine line between banter and bullying. Carleigh-Ann Portelli says she’s faced years of prejudice since coming out at the age of 16, often by those who justify their behaviour as being nothing more than a joke. Now the 25-year-old actor has produced a short film with Fixers to show people that homophobic abuse is no laughing matter. *Disclaimer: As a charity which covers every issue, we do not claim to have expertise in any particular area.
