 Kate and the Internet

Kate's first class starts at eight o’clock in the morning and it’s
1.30a.m now . The only sound that you can hear in Kate's small room is
the clicking of a computer keyboard. Her mum does no longer know
what to do. Everyday, it’s the same. She goes to bed half an hour
later. “Kate does no longer pay attention to her studies or to the
report she has to present next week .She ignores all types of
homework. ”Her mother says. She cares only about the
conversations she carries on with people from all over the world
without caring about her grades or her friends in real life”. Kate who
is a school student, spends about 75hours per week online. "I can’t
stop. I have lost touch with all my friends in real life."
The Internet access in American households increases, that’s why
the number of teenagers who spend a long time of their lives online,
has increased, too. Psychologists say “Look out! an increasing number
of teens are going into a new form of addiction “. In an interview
Kate declared: "I'm destroying my future and I am becoming isolated
from the society," "I failed English last year... I didn’t care about my
studies but at least, I feel free. In fact, I can talk to others about
any topic without being afraid of the consequences”. She added” I
have found people who are ready to listen to my words “
