The most common problem teens/youths face today. 4. #Cyber Addiction #
Cyber Addiction
The
Internet
offers
undeniable
benefits in
developing
a teen’s
ability to
grow with
modern
technology, technical ideas, knowledge and other
skills. However, using the internet, particularly the
social networking websites, unsafely puts the
teenagers at very high risk for many problems.
When children spend more than enough or
agreeable time online they tend to be cyber
addicts. As they spend more time on social
networking, gaming, and other websites,
particularly adult sites, they suffer from cyber
addiction.
Cyber addiction can be just as harmful as
addiction to drugs or drinking alcohol. Teenagers
who spend unhealthy amounts of time on the
Internet or online suffer from a condition
recognized as Internet Addiction Disorder (IAD).
Those who have IAD conditions may experience
distress, withdrawal symptoms including
obsessive thoughts, tremors, and other mental
and physical problems. Cyber addiction impairs
the quality of their lives. Parents should talk to
their children and agree on a list of rules that
clearly say when to use the internet, which sites
they should visit and what safety measures they
should follow. Teachers can also ensure safe
browsing of the web at schools and colleges for
teenage students.
