Can you tell the difference between Shakespeare and AI? Take the quiz and find out!

The Teen Summit 2026 survey suggests that more teenagers are using AI to help with homework. But for those who don't use it, the main reason given was concerns over accuracy and trust. With AI technology evolving, it's important not to just take the first answer you've been given as correct, no matter how convincing it may sound.

We put the cast of Waterloo Road to the test to see if they can tell the difference between real Shakespeare quotes or fake quotes made using AI.

See how they got on and put yourself to the test in the quiz below!

Head over to the Bitesize English Literature study pages for a collection of videos to help you with Shakespeare, including casting, characters, plots and themes.

Using AI can help with homework by acting as an initial research tool or for quick overviews but checking the sources is essential to help you get accurate information that will help your learning and develop your skills.

The Teen Summit survey was conducted by Survation, on behalf of BBC Bitesize and 5 Live. More than 2,000 teenagers, aged between 13-18 answered questions about the issues important to them. The results of the survey have helped us to get to know you and the issues that affect you, from your feelings about yourself to those about the world around you.This survey was conducted by Survation interviewing 2087 teenagers aged 13-18 years old online between 2nd July and 17th July 2026.

Waterloo Road Series 18 will return to BBC One and BBC iPlayer in January 2027.

If you need support

You should always tell someone about the things you’re worried about. You can tell a friend, parent, guardian, teacher, or another trusted adult. If you're struggling with your mental health, going to your GP can be a good place to start to find help. Your GP can let you know what support is available to you, suggest different types of treatment and offer regular check-ups to see how you’re doing.

If you’re in need of in-the-moment support you can contact Childline, where you can speak to a counsellor. Their lines are open 24 hours a day, 7 days a week.

There are more links to helpful organisations on the BBC Bitesize Action Line page for young people.
