Teens and Internet Addiction:


 Internet addiction:


 If you are a teen you should do a internet addiction test, but why?; 

well,  it is the correct way to see if you have a real and serious problem. If this is true you should tell  your parents, a friend or go to a specialist. But  if you have a moderate or low addiction to the internet you can do some simple things to help yourself,  such as check the ratings, declare tech-free zones and times, and talk about it or seek expert help if needed.


I would like to underline the option "check the ratings" because it is a good way to realize how much time you spend using technology and which applications. It is another way to see to which things are you addicted like instagram, online free video games…In this way I'm proud of myself because I checked and I just use my mobile phone for 2 hours daily.


Another interesting and useful option is to declare tech free times and zones, such as not using your phone while you are on the bus going to school or during 2 hour before going to sleep, or while you are doing other things. like me that just talk with my friend on the school bus and don't play videogames... This would make you just use your mobile in a certain time or place which probably decreases your technology use and in addition your addiction to the internet.


If you think that you have a great problem just talk about it or get help. You can do this with close people as friends or your family or just go to a clinic. This is the best option for me because it is a way to make your environment pressure you to get out of there and all people would help you if you don't controlated yourself.


In conclusion I would say that you should do a test on internet addiction,, if your addiction is high you should go to a specialist and talk with your family or friends, but if not just follow the tips that I lent you in my blog.

 Once Neeraj Agnihotri said: “Social media not only snatches your time, but it also teaches you attention deficiency”, and I agree with him. Nowadays one of the most common addictions among people and especially among teenagers is the internet. The latter, in my view, is taking up a lot of space in people's lives, the dangerousness of it and the consequences it can take like for example getting bad grades First of all, we easily get addicted to our phones and it is very difficult to get them off of us. The urge to use the phone is an irresistible thing that if you become addicted it is very difficult to take it off. For example, in my case, when I go out with my friends and there is a moment where we do nothing the first thing you do is to pick up the phone and check the notifications, and then at that moment, there is a dead silence because everyone is silent, using their phones.

Internet addiction Blog  April 19, 2021  We always knew that one day technology would have taken over the world and our lives. This generation is the demonstration that our devices have become one of the most important parts of our daily life. The internet addiction is statistically proved to be the addiction that influences the biggest part of the population, even more than drugs, alcohol and games. The most influenced by the internet addiction are the teens that found themselves completely under the control of the internet, and because of this they lost their ability of interacting with other people without the need of social media, their concentration and all the side effects that are both physical and mental.  Now the young people of this generation have lost the ability to interact with each other without using social media. It is no coincidence that as soon as we meet a person, the first thing we do to then stay in touch is to start following each other on social ne...
