It's the countdown most kids are dreading, with almost two weeks to go until under 16s are banned from social media.

We've heard from the government, we've heard from the parents and we've heard from the experts.

A Current Affair sat down with a group of 11 to 15 year olds to unpack the good, the bad and the ugly side of the internet and how some plan to skirt the rules.

"I think that we should have at least Snapchat, because Snapchat is a fun way to communicate with your friends," Zach said.

"My daily average is one hour and eight minutes," Elloise said.
