Some 10 years ago, the Internet was a wonder for many, today it is necessary for a civilized person like air. He makes life easier for people dozens of times, helps and entertains them in different ways. But, if an adult formed personality is able to distinguish between good and evil, then how does the Internet affect adolescents?
Instructions
Step 1
Teenagers have reached a new level of development compared to their parents:
- they are aware of the news of the whole planet;
- understand in various spheres of life no worse than adults;
- are not afraid to express their point of view openly;
- constantly share information with friends and absorb tons of it every day.
Step 2
The Internet is actively helping them in this. Someone takes pictures of everything in their path and tells others about their impressions, someone carefully reads the news feed and shares their emotions on this or that occasion. And someone “lives on the Internet”, spending the best part of their life on the virtual world.
Step 3
The Internet is firmly attached to itself, and the thoughts of a teenager are constantly busy with the same thing. He no longer imagines his life without certain actions and cannot resist:
Obsessive expectation of the next network connection. Reducing the time for things necessary for any person - eating, sleeping.
Step 4
Visiting the site while studying, reading or other unrelated work. Unwillingness to communicate with people in person. An irresistible craving for news, unverified and often completely unnecessary.
Step 5
Trying to get away from problems or numb feelings of helplessness, guilt, anxiety, or depression by going online. The appearance of fatigue, irritability when you stop staying on the World Wide Web and an irresistible desire to come back. At the same time, the teenager denies his addiction, justifying himself by the fact that he must be modern and that without the Internet it is now impossible to study and keep abreast of events.
Step 6
Indeed, if you look at modern methods of teaching and development, then the introduction of computer technology is often taking place. But there are also positive facts in favor of the Internet that cannot be disputed. With the help of them, a teenager can:
Constantly be in touch with those who are dear to him, but are at a great distance. To comprehend new levels of useful knowledge, to form such personality traits as quick-wittedness, quickness and creativity of thinking, and entrepreneurial spirit.
Step 7
Meet new people, find friends and communities of interest. Explore the world with the help of electronic dictionaries, educational programs, encyclopedias, good films. Learn to take responsibility for your actions and see them reflected in reality.
