It is believed that teenagers' lack of self-control, psychological immaturity and lack of emotional experience are the main reasons for their addiction to the internet.
She said that the psychological development of teenagers is in a semi-mature and semi-naive period. During this period, their self-awareness increased, and they paid special attention to their own self-image and others' evaluation, which led to a corresponding increase in emotional conflicts, and they especially needed some channels to vent their emotions.
However, during this period, many parents did not give them enough care and understanding, which easily made them feel lonely and turned to seek spiritual sustenance through other means such as surfing the Internet.
At the same time, teenagers themselves have poor self-control ability because of their imperfect psychological and mental development. Once they find spiritual sustenance from the Internet, they are easily addicted to it.
