In this KS4 PSHE lesson, students explore key ideas around masculinity, emotional expression, and peer influence through Episode 3, Part 1 of Adolescence.

Titled It’s Not a Trick, It’s Just a Conversation, this lesson focuses on the first interview between Jamie and the psychologist. Students will discuss how trust, power, and emotional communication shape the dialogue. Using Socratic Circle methods, they will reflect on the internal struggles boys may face when expressing feelings and how cultural expectations and online messaging can influence their behaviour and beliefs about gender, relationships, and control.
