TV Show “Adolescence” Has People Talking About The Hidden Meaning Of Emojis

Netflix’s four-part British miniseries ‘Adolescence’ is one of the most powerful pieces of TV you’re likely to see this year. It’s raw and honest in its portrayal of social issues such as male rage, toxic masculinity, misogyny, male supremacy influencers, bullying, indoctrination, crime, mental health, social media, and poor parenting. It’s deeply uncomfortable to watch. It’s truly devastatingly emotional.

And it’s making some parents worried that they might not notice the problems their children are dealing with, and who they’re influenced by, until it’s far too late.

Social media, online communication, slang, and emojis—which reveal more than adults might think at first glance—form a core part of the story in ‘Adolescence.’ Today, we’re looking at some of the hidden meanings that certain emojis have, as shared by law enforcement. Scroll down to take a look.
