THE problem with teenagers, a headteacher told me this week, is that they are trying to live in two different moral universes. He says that there is the moral universe we all know, with its rules, conventions and niceties. And then there’s another universe, the internet’s moral universe, where there are next to no rules and precious few niceties.

I don’t really want to run away from everything. But I’m disappointed to realise I’m no longer able to do so anyway. We all have the instinct for fight or flight.

When I was in the first year at middle school, in Miss Hale’s class, my parents returned from a parents’ evening looking disappointed. My nine-year-old self picked up on this. It wasn’t my schoolwork: that was OK. It was that the teacher had revealed that in PE I was the only one in the class who couldn’t do a forward roll. This was true. It wasn’t that I was physically incapable – I was in the school football team and, without wishing to boast, probably the ninth-quickest runner.
