To look like the prettiest punk at the party, do as make-up artist Hannah Murray

did for the Topshop Unique show, and mix your contour wand with a bit of
lipstick, top it up with a slick of Vaseline and smear it across your eyelid. An
added bonus to this glossy burgundy eye is that it looks pleasingly sweaty, as if
youd designed your whole summer look around it.

The first steps in forcing pornography websites to check that users are over 18
will be be announced by the government this week in an effort to make the
internet safer for children.

Websites flouting new rules, which are set to be part of the Digital Economy Act,
could find that a regulator has told their internet service providers to block
access to them. Those who provide payment and other services to such sites
could also be asked to impose restrictions.

Porn site users will have to provide details from a credit card, which cannot be
legally issued to anyone under 18, according to the Mail on Sunday. Gambling
websites use the same system of verification.

The government is also expected to announce plans to appoint a regulator to

police the sex websites. It is believed this could be the British Board of Film
Classification which sets age limits on films, DVDs and video games.

The aim is for all online pornography to have age verification controls by April
2018 along with the appointment of a new regulatory body to oversee and
enforce it, the Department for Digital, Culture, Media and Sport said.

The digital minister, Matt Hancock, who is to set to formally kickstart the process
with a written statement to the House of Commons on Monday, said: Now we
are taking the next step to put in place the legal requirement for websites with
adult content to ensure it is safely behind an age verification control.

All this means that while we can enjoy the freedom of the web, the UK will have
the most robust internet child protection measures of any country in the world.

Online pornography, which experts say can damage a childs development and
decision-making, has been seen by 65% of 15 to 16-year-olds and 48% of 11 to 16-
year-olds, according to an NSPCC report in 2016.
The study also found that 28% of children may have stumbled across
pornography while 19% had searched for it deliberately.

Will Gardner, the chief executive of internet safety charity Childnet, said:
Protecting children from exposure, including accidental exposure, to adult
content is incredibly important, given the effect it can have on young people.

Steps like this to help restrict access, alongside the provision of free parental
controls and education, are key.

It is essential to help parents and carers, as well as young people, be more aware
of this risk and what they can do to prevent exposure and also to make sense of
exposure if it happens.

Fourteen-year-old friends Hannah Cox and Libby Shirnia admitted they were a
little taken aback when their school announced stringent new rules on mobile
phones, smart watches and Fitbit activity monitors.

Everyones reaction was: This is so annoying. said Libby. But then we chatted
about it and thought it might be a good thing. Its the worst thing when youre
having a conversation and someone is doing that [Libby mimes tapping and
sliding on a smart screen].

Hannah said it did get confusing when you tried to keep multiple conversations
going on two or three different media platforms. Maybe you should just talk to
your friends in real life shocking, I know.

Libby and Hannahs school, Stroud high in Gloucestershire, hit the headlines this
week after it emerged that it was clamping down on mobile devices. What
grabbed the attention was the idea that the move was partly because of concerns
that some girls were becoming obsessed with counting steps and calories and
skipping meals to make sure they met their targets.

But the drive is not just about that. The school, an academy primarily for girls, is
concerned that mobile devices are leading to addiction to social media as well
as counting steps.
When pupils return from their summer break, girls in years seven to nine will be
banned from using their devices at all during the school day. Those in years 10
and 11 will be allowed to use their devices at lunch, while pupils in the sixth form
which includes boys will be allowed to use them freely except in lessons.

Stroud high school is fast becoming something of a pioneer in its determination

to address problems caused by mobile devices. Hannah and Libby were among a
group of girls who penned a letter addressed to the boys and young men of
Gloucestershire, Great Britain and the world explaining why they did not want
to be pressured to send explicit pictures and did not want to receive such images.

The school has also started to work with local primary schools, mental health
services and local government to draw up programmes and strategies aimed at
tackling problems caused by social media.

Girls are constantly comparing themselves to each other, said deputy

headteacher Cindi Pride. She has got longer hair, blonder hair, better clothes,
better holidays. People only ever post the golden parts of their lives. That
constant comparison is hugely detrimental.

Earlier this year the school ran a survey in which almost three-quarters of
students said they check or respond to social media constantly. More than half
were taking their phones to bed. But the statistic that alarmed Pride was that
more than half of key stage three pupils (aged 11-14) said they would like to feel
more in control of their use of social media.

If that wasnt a cri de coeur, I dont know what was. They want more control,
they patently dont know how to do it, or they would be doing it. We need to try
to help them. School is a place where you should be able to learn, have fun, have
authentic friendships, not be talking to each other across the room via Snapchat.

The findings tally with a string of academic studies. The Office for National
Statistics found, for example, that 12% of children who spend no time on social
networking sites on a normal school day have symptoms of mental ill health; the
figure rises to 27% for those who are on the sites for three or more hours a day.
Around 400 pupils and adults at Stroud high school took part in a week-long
digital detox when they gave up their devices and at home. Benefits the girls
reported included having more free time and feeling less stressed.

Pride said the focus on Fitbits had been blown out of proportion. But she said: I
personally dont think that fit and healthy young women in an environment like
this need to be counting every step. The number of Fitbits and smart watches on
young women with perfectly normal body shapes is quite alarming. I dont know
why people have this obsession monitoring every breath theyre taking.

Jess Hourston, 16, is one of those who took part in the week-long digital detox.
It wasnt as hard as I expected, she said. The first couple of days were odd, but
by the end of the week I didnt miss it.

Jess said her work improved. I used to struggle with homework. Usually, you
write a sentence and then you check Snapchat. You rewrite the same sentence.
Homework that should take half an hour takes an hour and a half. That week I
did the best homework Id done in a while. I wasnt tired. Usually I would go to
bed but be on my phone for an hour before going to sleep. That week I woke up
having eight hours sleep and woke up feeling better, which was shocking really.

Actually, Jess thinks banning Fitbits is a shame. Ive seen how it can help. Ive
been using one for two years, its been instrumental in my fight to lose weight.
There will always be a group of people who have the mentality to use it in an
unhealthy way.

Education is the solution. The challenge is to change how people think. The
technology in itself isnt a problem its how people use it.
