I received some of your opinions about addictions, some on paper, some via e-mail. To have a further discussion, I want to present parts of them.
- ,,COMPUTEROHOLISM”
More and more teenagers have problems with a healthy attitude to the Internet. They spend too much time in front of the screen. They are addicted. Addiction leads to bad results at school, unpredictable behavior and bad relationship between a child and his/her parents.
Two years ago there was a case of a teenager who killed his grandmom with a knife, just because she didn’t let him play computer games .Such situation is dangerous for both a child and his/her surroundings. A teenager is closed off in his own world. He is like a predator who is aggressive, angry and miserable without access to the computer. Virtual world became his/her natural habitat. How do you know if you are addicted? Firstly, you ca be distracted and everything tells you to turn on the computer. Secondly, you spend in front of the computer more than 4 hours a day. Moreover, you can have school problems and arguments with your family. What is more, you are aggressive and you don’t want to interact with your friends. If you suspect that you may be addicted, you should call a psychologist or talk to an adult person.
In my opinion, this problem is one of the most popular illnesses of the 21st century. One cannot forget that healthy lifestyle is the key to your successful future. Living only in virtual world is not enough to be happy.
