: Hi everyone ,this week is Current Affairs Week .Since we need to give a presentation during the morning assembly, today we need to talk about what to present in the assembly.Does anyone have any ideas about what issue is more serious?
K: How about the problem of internet addiction ? It is a common problem for teenagers who are playing with electronic products. They can not control themselves to stop playing the electronic product in their daily life.
: Yes I agree with you. A recent survey conducted by Lutheran Church, Hong Kong Synod, The School Social Work Unite found that people who are addicted to the internet. According to the survey,13.9% of the students had surfed the internet for more than seven hours. Those teenagers were more likely to have mental problems at school. Personal psychology was a key factor in addiction to the internet.
T: Since we have confirmed this issue.Let’s talk about what to include in our presentation . I think we should first present the cause of internet addiction,such as lack of confidence.Some individuals may lack confidence and a sense of accomplishment in their real-world experiences, which could lead them to seek refuge in the online world where they can escape their reality and feel more self-assured.Do you have any other causes that bring teenagers internet addiction.
K: I couldn’t agree with you more. Lack of confidence makes students want to escape real life. At the same time, the high stress level of the studies is also the cause of internet addiction. Addictive people want to escape and relieve their stress due to their social and studies problems in the real world. For example, they can’t get an ideal score so they feel more nervous about running after their target. How does it sound to you?
: Exactly. They have no courage to make friends so they feel lonely from psychological and in real life. In my opinion, excessive low self-esteem is the culprit for them that they can’t make friends at school or in daily life. They just do everything by themselves and no one talks with them. The statistics show that loneliness is a common issue of teenagers to affect their adolescent health and quality of life . Loneliness occurred when a person’s social network made them less satisfied than they expected. Besides,when social quality declines, the original network of relationships or lack of social skill could lead to strong loneliness. Do you have any ideas?
: Yes, they being isolated in real life because the internet gave them secure and they tend not to socialise. Internet world provides a secure to teenagers who doesn’t good at socialising. Because in internet is passive social. They can choose if they want to. The reason that they didn’t want to social in real life because they afraid of having rejection and they become anxious
:Since we have already talked a lot about the cause of internet addiction.let’s start discussing the effects. If Teenagers stay at home for a long time they will become hidden youth and become

 introverted because they are lack of face to face interactions. They didn’t know how to communicate with other.what other effects that you think we should include?
T: One of the effects that we should include is academic and emotional impact .Excessive internet use can result in emotional issues such as restlessness, depression, and a dependence won online activities for satisfaction.For example someone who spends most of their time browsing social media platforms may feel anxious or unhappy when they are not online. They may also feel the need to spend increasing amounts of time online to achieve the same level of satisfaction they once experienced. In some cases, these emotional issues can be so severe that the person's overall well-being and quality of life are negatively impacted.Do you have any other effects that the Internet addiction may lead to.
:Yes of course. Too many emotional problems and burdens may let them feel down and stressful .Furthermore , spending too much time online may weaken the restraint ability of adolescents and mental condition.For example, they are too obsessed with the internet so that they might forget to eat and sleep or eat fast food such as instant noodles to satisfy hunger. Therefore, it will lead to malnutrition in the long run .Besides, if they still continue, it will decrease vision and concentration.They also my get memory lose.If serious,internet addiction will be associated with mood disorders, poor sleep quality and self-esteem. That’s terrible!
K: Personally, I believe that if they still continue to use electronic products and wear earphones. It will decrease their vision that they suffer myopia or deepening. Also, it may hurt their hearing in the long run. Besides, it will cause lack of concentration and memory loss. Both negative effects are serious for teenagers. Would you go along with supporting my opinion?
: Sure.The most frightening thing about those health problems is that they will affect them for a lifetime.But don’t worry.There are always more ways than difficulties.Personally,they can't go on like this forever so they have to adjust their state.For example, building up another habits such as reading, painting and hiking to divert their attention on the other way .Second,they also can participate in various activities to build human interaction and reduce time spending on the internet at home . If it doesn’t work, they can set up time limit for usage that the app which can control the time can force you to rest.Would you like to share any other solutions?
K: Parents and school are students' necessary connection. Thus, they need to cooperate with each other for creating events such as setting up some lecturess or creating some family’s activities. Both ways can improve parents and students' communication and relationship. How do you feel about my solutions?
:absolutely right. I believe that the society also have responsibility of this social problem. The government should advertise and promote anti addiction activities like some talk or events. They can also hold some free classes for teenagers to build up another habit.
