Internet and adolescence
Journal Title: Indian Journal of Child Health - Year 2017, Vol 4, Issue 3
Abstract
Within the modern hustled life, powered by internet, many aspects of adolescence are getting altered. Be it their attitude toward study, behavior with peers or compatibility with daily life – the impact of internet is evident everywhere. The steep rise in its use within the last one decade draws attention from the scientists, including psychiatrists, about the effect of incorporating such dimension in our daily life. A study from the Netherlands found that 3.7% adolescents are potentially addicted to it [1] and the prevalence rises to an alarming 10.7% in Korean adolescents [2]. Not much data are available from India about the extent of the problem.
