"More than three-quarters of children aged 10 to 12 in the UK have social media accounts, even though they are below the age limit, a survey for CBBC Newsround suggests.

The study, marking this year's Safer Internet Day, also suggests more than one in five has faced online bullying.

The global event encourages "safe and responsible" use of the internet.

The Comres survey for Newsround, based on 1,200 young people aged between 10 and 18, found social media to be an important part of everyday life."

Not a surprise, Not only in UK. But in the world
When I was 10, its very difficult to get Internet access.. what I did just play ps1/ ps one, or go outside play with friends
Now, its very different. Kids nowadays always have smartphone in their hand

Thats it technology growing so quick in last 4-5 years.

Not in my house they don't, not until they reach the correct age and maturity levels before they join any social media sites.
