Teenagers’ net addiction

January 3rd, 2010 by editor Leave a reply »

This is another tragedy happened among the teenagers who are addicted to web. The story was happened two weeks ago in the city where I live now. The boy, 17, addicted to website and cared nothing except for surfing on line, playing video games and chatting, killed his father with a steel hammer after the poor father was furious about his son’s behavior and cut off the electric power of the house during his playing net games. The boy’s mother heard the noise and went upstairs to help. However, she was attacked by her son with the hammer, her head cut down with a knife and eyes dug out. For me, it was difficult to figure out how he could do it to his biological parents.

During my time as a teenager and after I got to campus, I met a part of those cases. My cousin, 4 years old than me, was indulged in playing video games without going to school when he was in high school. You can find him only either in web café or in bed of his room. My mom and his parents all had searched him all over the cafes of the town. Each time after caught back, what he faced with was a hard hit from his parents and a period of education besides his ears. However, anther cycle of the scene went on several days later. At that time, maybe 10 years ago, my aunt’s family hated those bosses of the web café severely. They thought that it was those cafes brought the damages to a lot of families like them.

From most of the teenagers’ addiction cases, the parents care less about the children’s private life. They communicate so less and parents cannot really touch the heart of their kids. They don’t really know what the hell the teenagers think. Most of the time, parents have the busiest period in their life when their family needs more home expenditure. They bury their head in their career and leave less and less time about how to getting through their children. I think maybe that leads to the impact coming from the internet for the relationship between parents and teenagers. For those bad parents- children relationship family, it is time to make some time to fix it up. Internet is not our enemy. It is a good tool if we use it good and maybe a terminator if we don’t learn a lesson from ourselves.
