While talking with the youth in attendance in a classroom, Meghan said that “every day for 10 years, I have been bullied and attacked.”

“And I was the most trolled person in the entire world. Now, I’m still here,” she continued, via People.

She added that social media companies were “not incentivized to stop,” per People, via PA Media.

Meghan went on to say she could “speak to that really personally, which is why I like to listen, because it rings true for me in a very real way.”

“And when I think of all of you and what you’re experiencing, I think so much of that is having to realize that you know that industry, that billion-dollar industry, that is completely anchored and predicated on cruelty to get clicks — that’s not going to change. So you have to be stronger than that,” Meghan continued.

Harry added that social media has “led to so much loneliness for so many people…I waited until I was literally in the fetal position, much older, lying on the kitchen floor. Until I was like, okay maybe this therapy thing — maybe I should try it.”

Harry also spoke to Australia’s ban on children under 16 using social media.

“Australia took the lead. Your government was the first country in the world to bring about a ban. Now we can sit here and debate the pros and cons of a ban — I’m not here to judge that. All I will say is from a responsibility and leadership standpoint — epic. Because so many countries have now followed suit, but it should have never got to a ban.”
