Nowadays the world has become a global village. The main medium of this communication is Internet. Every important of these days is conducted through the internet. The internet has its pros and cons. Internet overuse is also becoming a cause of harm. It is harming us in many ways. A large proportion of students are using the internet. Studying through the Internet, chatting with friends through the Internet or playing sports are all Internet-centric. It brings benefits as well as harms. Recently, the voluntary organization Anchal Foundation ‘Impact of Internet use on students’ mental health; how much caution is necessary? As a result of the published survey, it is known that young students use the Internet for the longest time. This excessive use of the Internet is the cause of mental problems in 85.9 percent of students. The survey revealed that 62.3 percent of the students are using the Internet excessively. And 91 percent students feel addicted to using the internet. 32.9 percent of students have viewed pornography or sexually suggestive websites on the Internet. 26.5 percent of students also believe that they influence the increase or decrease in the number of likes, comments and followers on social media. As technology advances, so does the risk in this sector. Especially as we are getting benefits through social media, many people have to face losses at different times. Some are making money by cheating, while teenagers or young women are victims of pornography. Many are in this trap. Child pornography is a discussed topic. Internet is a vast world of knowledge where children and teenagers can easily enter and respect themselves. There is no better technology than this to immerse yourself in the vast world of knowledge. Nowadays Android phone and internet go hand in hand. We have no way to stay away from it. As a result, one accidentally becomes a victim of a trap along with a cycle. It’s happening without knowing or understanding. Internet can also introduce oneself to the negative world. It depends on the individual. Simply put, there are two ways in front of our children and teenagers. A good one. Where only vast store of knowledge. The other is bad. Where self-destruction can be prepared. He will go where he wants.
This is also the age to step into the trap of temptation. A strong interest in the forbidden world is inherent in us. Once you enter these worlds, it is difficult to break free from them. It is also a kind of addiction. Which has a fatal effect on the psyche of a child and teenager. Destroys right thoughts. Repeatedly pulled towards darkness. The desire to do well began to diminish from him. And his confidence plummeted. One of the great advantages of the Internet remains unknown to him. Skipping school and college, visiting bad sites whenever they get a chance while studying at home. Children and teenagers are warned from time to time to keep them free from the harmful effects of the Internet. Or being on the internet for a long time is also harmful for the mental state. What is meant by mental development is actually not possible if you are immersed in the world of internet. In fact, while it may not be possible to stop being on the Internet to protect our future generations, it is possible to control it.
Overuse of technology is slowly killing off our future generations. Smartphones are now within the reach of children and teenagers. And a child studying in class 9 or 10 easily gets a smartphone. Also internet facility. After getting these two, they first engage themselves through social media. They join different groups. Most of the time they don’t even know what is good and what is bad. Many times teenage girls are entering into various controversial apps to suddenly become famous. It is dangerous for us and a threat to our culture. It can be said that it has been increasing for a long time and has reached this rate today. And if not stopped now, the consequences will be dire. In fact, our children and teenagers are being introduced to a sick and distorted sexual taste as opposed to healthy sex education. Almost all cheap and expensive mobile phones have internet facility in hand. And by misusing this opportunity, he is causing fatal damage to his mind. With these devices within reach of our hands, one can access the internet anytime and watch these pornographic images, download them from the net and save them for later viewing.
The psyche of the students studying in school is emotional. The part of their mind is complicated. So it is difficult to control them. These students have strong curiosity. And once it enters this cycle, it becomes a cause of harm. Many students bring mobile phones to school in school bags, sometimes hidden in different parts of the body. Then he abuses her. This is a concern for us. There are many parents in our country who do not look after their children. Just checking the results at the end of the semester is not the end of all responsibilities. Where my child goes, with whom he socializes, how much real attention is given to studies, etc. must be monitored regularly and deeply. Because the child is yours, the whole responsibility is yours. Even if the child does something bad like saying your name behind it, you have to listen. In many cases, it is seen that the child is bought a mobile phone after crossing the threshold of primary school. In that case, the parent brings up the issue of his feelings for the child. But he never checks whether that mobile is a useful item for his child or not. Maybe he does it out of compassion for the child. But they have to watch how he is using the mobile phone he bought. In many cases these days it is not done. It may also be due to increasing parental distance from children. So the responsibility of keeping the child on the right path must be fulfilled properly. This work should be done not by creating distance but by drawing closer with love.
