No Bully

Something I often hear from school leaders: so much of their time and energy goes toward managing the fallout from things that didn't even happen at school. Online conflict and bullying is making schools harder to run. And it's only getting more complex.
Power of Zero is launching Leading Schools in the Digital Age - a series of free leadership briefings we'll be running through the rest of 2026, sharing practical insights from our work with schools across the US and internationally.

Our first session on May 13 tackles the topic we hear about most: When student conflict moves online - and it lands up in your office.
It's free. It's 50 minutes. And it's designed specifically for Heads of School, Principals, and school admin responsible for student wellbeing.

What a privilege. We were honored to facilitate Leading Schools in the Digital Age at the EARCOS Heads' Institute 2026 in Ho Chi Minh City: two days with school leaders from across Southeast Asia thinking seriously about what it means to lead schools in a digital world.

Thank you, EARCOS, for the warm welcome!

Louis Theroux’s latest documentary, “Inside the Manosphere”, takes us into the world of Manosphere and the profits being reaped by its online influencers. The documentary shows how influencers exploit male insecurity to build an online following and make their fortunes through selling online courses and merch to teens and young men. This documentary is as important as the Netflix series Adolescence in giving a window to the reality of the online world of teens.

Power Of Zero - Let’s Help Kids Be Safe & Successful In The Digital World Power of Zero gives educators and families the materials that young children need to develop resilience, compassion and inclusivity in a digital world.

For Safer Internet Day 2026, we're pausing to reflect on a new threshold moment in the Digital Age when machines begin to feel like companions, and when many teenagers now say they prefer talking to AI over their friends.

In our latest blog, we explore the emergence of the Attachment Economy and ask what it could mean for children’s wellbeing and for the life skills parents and schools need to help them develop.

From Attention to Attachment: Rethinking Children’s Online Lives - Power of Zero Internet Safety in the Age of AI: Children, Teens & Digital Wellbeing

AI has moved us beyond the attention economy and into what some are calling the attachment economy.

This article from the Centre for Humane Technology shines a new light on the conversation; while the attention economy commoditized our focus, the attachment economy targets our psychological infrastructure (the systems that help us bond, belong, and trust). Millions of people are now turning to AI for emotional support, companionship, and advice, in ways that will slowly reshape how we connect and the world.
It beautifully articulates something I’ve been thinking about deeply: What happens to humanity when we become emotionally reliant on AI for connection?

This piece gave us all some food for thought here at Power Of Zero: what happens when children who are facing difficult situations turn to Chatbots for help instead of teachers and trusted adults? We highly recommend reading it.
