Amy Knight @amyknight.bsky.social · 10/08/2026Having worked in schools for the best part of a decade, sadly none of these comments surprise me. I’ve had similar said to me by boys as young as 10. So when the right-wing press (cough Daily Mail cough) goes up in arms about relationships & sex education… this is why it matters. 110

Amy Knight @amyknight.bsky.social · 23/01/2025Fascinating new research from @tamsinford.bsky.social & colleagues which shows that CYP with psychiatric disorders now face more severe difficulties & functional impacts than in past surveys, "challenging the idea that ^ prevalence stems from over-medicalising mild symptoms" doi.org/10.1111/jcpp... 093

Amy Knight @amyknight.bsky.social · 20/11/2024Brilliant evening listening to @lucyfoulkes.bsky.social discuss the value of listening to adolescents: Their youth doesn’t lessen their worth; they’re experts in their own lives. Engaging with them makes our work more relevant and impactful ⭐️ 1111
Amy Knight @amyknight.bsky.social · 16/11/2024It’s been sad to witness the slow demise of X after joining in 2015 as a college student & now reflecting in 2024 as a PhD student. I’ve effectively grown up online 😅 I’m so grateful for the opportunities & connections I’ve made over the years & hope we can build an even better community here ⛅️ 040
