    Well, I will be interested to see if this can be enforced and if it actually does make a difference in the mental health of minors.

    i’m not sure how they plan on checking to see if they’re under 16 or not. stupid question, do Australians have anything that’s similar to social security numbers in US? if the US did that i’m assuming we’d use the SSNs because it’s basically a number you’re given from the government. i’m also interested to see how this will help children’s mental health, because i really think it will

      It definitely will help with the mental health since bullying will be less
