Would it be easy for you to give up social media? How much time do you spend each day on TikTok, Instagram or Facebook?
Many of us can remember life without it.
But health reporter Taylor Penny, 20, and her younger sister Georgia, only just now 17, have spent a huge portion of their existence with phones in their hands and feeds constantly refreshing in the background.
Like so many tweens and teens these days, they’ve grown up documenting everything and disappearing into endless scroll holes.
So ahead of the upcoming ban on under-16s using social media (following News Corp Australia’s successful Let Them Be Kids campaign) the two sisters decided to test out quitting it completely for 14 days.
You can see their day-to-day diary and video updates documenting it all here.
This week we also have a really heartbreaking and emotional piece penned by rugby star Dean Mumm, who lost four of his six children as they were born prematurely.
It’s hard not to shed a tear when you see what his family has been through.
But after such unimaginable and unfair loss, they are now driven by a purpose to help others. Read about their incredible strength here.
Have a great week.
