As Adolescence Sparks Global Conversations on Teen Mental Health, MASK, Myra Ana Security for Kids, Emerges as the Latest Digital Shield

Avni Trivedi, CEO, TriVigil

When the hit TV series Adolescence premiered, it didn’t just break streaming records—it broke the silence. With raw, unfiltered portrayals of cyberbullying, anxiety, identity struggles, and social media fallout, the show struck a nerve with teens, parents, and educators around the world. And while the world watched characters fall apart—or fight to hold it together—one truth became crystal clear: kids today need help navigating a world where mental health and online life collide. 

Enter MASK: Myra Ana Security for Kids—the game that’s not just inspired by the issues raised in Adolescence, but built to equip children with the tools they need to face them head-on. 

From Fictional Crisis to Real-Life Action 

The emotional rollercoaster of Adolescence opened the floodgates. Fan forums turned into safe spaces. TikTok exploded with testimonials from real teens living the same struggles. Schools held viewing parties followed by mental health discussions. It was more than entertainment—it was a wake-up call. 

“We saw kids in Adolescence go through bullying, shame, and breakdowns,” says Avni Trivedi, MASK nextgen creator and EdTech entrepreneur. “But we asked ourselves—what if we could give real kids something to prevent that spiral before it begins? That’s how MASK was born.” 

MASK Is the Real-World Response to the Adolescence Generation 

MASK—short for Myra Ana Security for Kids—is an interactive game guided by Myra, a digital cyber guardian who teaches kids how to stay safe online. With engaging missions, real-life role-playing, and emotionally intelligent guidance, MASK tackles the very issues that Adolescence fans are crying out to solve: cyberbullying, peer pressure, digital reputation damage, and mental overload. 

In the game, kids don’t just learn what to do—they practice it: How to block and report a bully. How to take a pause before posting something they’ll regret. How to recognize anxiety bubbling up, and how to breathe through it. With each level, they’re not just earning points—they’re building inner strength. 

“Myra is the guide I wish I had at 12,” said one teen alpha tester. “It’s like having a big sister who actually knows what’s going on in my head.”

A Worldwide Movement Fueled by a Cultural Phenomenon 

With Adolescence dominating screens in over 30 countries and translated into 12 languages, MASK is now scaling its reach to match the global demand. The creators are planning an accelerated launch in the US this summer with a concrete roadmap to local-language versions, partnering with schools, nonprofits, and digital safety coalitions to make MASK part of the global toolkit for youth mental wellness. 

And it’s not just for kids. MASK’s vision is to unite educators, parents, and school counselors to build a supportive community that empowers the next generation to navigate the challenges of digital exposure and develop strong digital literacy. 

The Urgency Is Now 

Every tweet about Adolescence. Every classroom discussion. Every teen who says, “that episode was me.” These are signals that awareness is growing—but action must follow. 

MASK is that action. It’s the game that meets kids where they are, speaks their language, and gives them a digital guardian in a world that too often leaves them unprotected. 

Because while Adolescence showed us the problem, MASK is here to be part of the solution. Join Us
