Today, many teenagers are addicted to the Internet. They use it too often and for too long. Once they are on the net, they can’t turn it off.

In fact, the Internet is very interesting and useful. When online, you can read the news, find information, connect and share things with friends, shopping, playing games, etc. There are good reasons to spend time online.

However, teenagers with an Internet addiction are online too much. They don’t just go online to find information, have fun, or study. Sometimes they go online because they want to escape the stress and problems in their lives. Many internet addicts stop caring about their real lives, and concentrate only on their online lives. This has a bad effect on their health, some even have a mental disorder, and their study also has to suffer.

One way Internet addicts can get is by using special software. This software controls how much time someone can spend online. It tells the computer to turn off the internet after a certain amount of time. This helps people focus on the important things in their real life. The software’s goal is to teach people to use the Internet for good reasons and not just as an escape.
