Not only has Tom been through the ups and downs of teenage life himself, he's also got a unique take on content creation and social media, having amassed more than 50 million followers across all his channels and socials and championing some of the biggest issues facing young people today. Here's Tom's take on some of the Teen Summit survey results.

This year's survey asked about gaming for the first time, revealing that 94% of teens play video games, with just under a third (31%) doing so daily or almost daily.

For Tom, gaming has been central to his career. He explains that he started playing Minecraft for the pure enjoyment but through his passion for it, it became an avenue to his career, exploring comedy and expanding his horizons. "I filmed myself playing video games and found all these different passions, even like comedy. I found it through the fact that I enjoy making my friends laugh on Minecraft. Gaming was the foundation, it has just been my pure enjoyment for playing Minecraft and other video games."

A very relatable aspect of gaming Tom enjoys is the social connection, "It really connects you with your people. There's a sense of belonging to that, and especially during winter or when you can't go out, it's kept me close to friends who live far away."

Tom believes games can also spark creativity and can have a mood boosting effect "Games like Minecraft, they're endless. That's had a huge positive effect on my life"

He goes on to explain "If you've got something heavy going on, they're just such a good relief from everything. I love going on walks and hanging out with my mates. But there's just something about losing yourself to a world that you're engaging in and have control in. That's exciting." He also takes a moment to celebrate the game makers "They've been made by a load of people who have put so much effort in to make this the best experience for you. I think it's a beautiful thing really."

But he's honest about the downsides too. "It can suck up your life if you overdo it. Like drinking, it's fine in moderation -- but if you use it just to distract yourself, it can get toxic."

Tom strikes his own balance, he adds: "I think it's just that balance really and doing new stuff I've not done before and making sure it's not just gaming, I guess that applies to anything really".
