Secondly, we will briefly explain the advantages and disadvantages of the network to teenagers respectively.
Benefits:
1. Learning:
Most teenagers are students at school, and learning is the focus of their lives. The Internet has provided great help to teenagers' study.
The survey shows that the use of the Internet basically does not affect students' learning activities. There is no significant difference between users and non-users in academic performance, whether engaged in social work, or the length of homework and the length of extra long class hours. But users have greater learning pressure than non-users.
Internet has given teenagers a vast space. Teenagers can learn a lot of newer and wider knowledge online, satisfy their curiosity and thirst for knowledge, stimulate their interest in learning, and enable them to take the initiative to understand research-oriented problems and problems they are interested in. At the same time, the survey shows that there are obvious differences in learning enthusiasm and learning ability between users and non-users of the Internet. The learning enthusiasm of users is obviously higher than that of non-users.
2. Interpersonal communication:
The Internet itself is a medium of contact with the outside world. Through the Internet, teenagers can better communicate with the outside world.
According to the survey, about 60% young users use email, and less than 50% users use 1 time to several times a week. About 50% teenagers have friends who keep in touch by email. 25.2% young users often speak in chat rooms or BBS. 37.6% teenagers use ICQ to contact friends they know or don't know.
Statistical tests show that there is no difference between users and non-users in terms of time spent with friends and family and time spent using the phone. 53% ~ 75% users report that there is no change in interpersonal communication before and after using the Internet. However, 40% of users said that they have increased their contact with "friends with the same hobbies" after surfing the Internet, and nearly 30% of young users said that they have increased their contact with friends and classmates.
It can be seen that the network plays an important role in teenagers' interpersonal communication. Although some people think that too much communication on the Internet will lead to the decline of communication ability in real life, the positive effect of the Internet on interpersonal communication is obviously greater than its negative effect.
3. Access to information:
The Internet stores a lot of information, including international and domestic news and all kinds of latest information. Obviously, through the Internet, teenagers can learn more and faster about the information they care about.
The comparison of information sources between users and non-users shows that non-users rely more on family and school as information resources than users, and users rely more on networks and magazines to obtain information sources than non-users.
The average reliability comparison between traditional media and Internet shows that young users think TV is the most reliable, followed by Internet, newspapers and radio. However, among the media considered as "all reliable", the proportion of users choosing the Internet is the highest, exceeding 20%.
The media that users have the longest contact with non-users are TV, extracurricular books and tapes, and there is little difference between them. About 60% users think that the use of the Internet has not changed their time to contact with mass media, but 20% ~ 30% users report that they have reduced their time to use TV, radio, newspapers and magazines. 2 1.0% of adolescent users said that they spent more time reading books after surfing the Internet.
Internet has played a great role in obtaining information.
4. The impact of the concept of opening to the outside world on Internet use:
Statistics show that users score significantly higher on the open scale than non-users. Compared with non-users, young users like to try, innovate and express, have strong independence and autonomy, and rebel against authority.
Disadvantages:
1. Network diseases:
With the rapid development of the Internet and the increasing number of netizens, a new disease is attracting the attention of experts, which is "Internet Addiction Syndrome".
According to medical experts, in addition to the above situation, "network disease" has some common symptoms: after surfing the Internet, the spirit is extremely high, the behavior can not be controlled, and the online time often exceeds the original plan; When chatting with others without surfing the internet, fingers often work involuntarily, as if they are still typing on the keyboard; Some people need to spend a fixed time surfing the Internet every day, otherwise they will be unable to eat or sleep. According to experts, when these symptoms develop seriously, they are addicted to the illusory online world, have no interest in real life, and have indifferent interpersonal relationships.
Professor Zhang Xichao from the Department of Psychology of Beijing Normal University believes that Internet addiction can induce "Internet addiction syndrome" among friends. Its specific manifestations are the decline of interpersonal communication and adaptability, depression, loneliness, increased anxiety, loss of appetite, autonomic nerve disorder, which leads to the decline of physical function and depression. Zhou, the chief physician of the medical psychology department of Nanjing Brain Hospital, analyzed the causes of "network disease". He said that "network disease" is actually an addiction. Everyone has a psychological desire to be happy and satisfied. When this desire first appears on the novel, fashionable and changeable Internet, they will hope to get it again. When this repetition is out of control, it will do harm to the human body. Surfing the Internet for a long time is not only harmful to the eyes, but also breaks the normal rules of life, and the time for eating and sleeping is completely disordered. In the long run, it will also lead to endocrine disorders and trigger a series of diseases. What is even more frightening is that "network disease" is a potential psychological disease. Due to the excessive use of the Internet to seek compensation and balance of life changes, many people have serious psychological barriers, and their behaviors are misplaced in real life, and teenagers suffer more seriously.
Example
Among the children who come to the children's counseling room of Shanghai Psychological Counseling Center every day, one tenth of them have psychological problems due to their infatuation with the Internet and video games, and there is an upward trend. A teenage girl spends six or seven hours surfing the Internet and talking about "online dating" every day. Her parents are.
This is worrying. A boy of 12 years old came to consult because of anxiety and headache. It turns out that this boy has been playing games for five or six hours every day since he got a computer at home. It is understood that 43% of primary and secondary school students in Shanghai often surf the Internet. Learning knowledge online is a good thing, but if you indulge in it endlessly, you will neglect your study and do harm to your health.
prevent and cure
According to medical experts, there is no effective treatment for "network diseases". For netizens, to be alert to "network diseases", we must first strictly control the online time, so as to be entertaining and not obsessed. Pay attention to stay away from all pornographic and violent programs when surfing the internet. Children and adolescents are in the period of growth and development, so parents should pay attention to supervision and avoid becoming victims of "network diseases".
In order to effectively prevent network diseases, teenagers need to carry out network mental health education. The relationship between network and psychology and mental health education is interactive. If psychological methods provide us with a unique perspective to understand the network and network behavior, on the other hand, it can be said that the network has injected vitality into psychology and mental health education, and also put forward new and higher requirements.
2. Online dating:
Puppy love exists in every middle school, even in the upper grades of primary school. In school, puppy love is mostly in a semi-underground state. It is tacit to keep secrets from teachers and classmates. After school, "little lovers" go shopping hand in hand and go home together. Nowadays, many primary and middle school students are keen on chatting online, and even make online lovers very loving. We visited some Internet cafes and found that nine times out of ten people addicted to online chatting are middle school students. On their computer screens, words that make adults feel sick can be seen everywhere, such as "wife", "husband" and "I miss you so much".
Example
City News (Reporter Wu) A pair of boys and girls are immersed in online dating and live together in a rental house behind their parents' backs. On February 7th, 65438, the 1st Squadron of the 1st Patrol Unit of Shijiazhuang City found the couple and educated them.
My girl lives in Shijiazhuang, just 18 years old, and she is in high school. She likes surfing the Internet. She met a boy far from the coast of Zhejiang. They talked about online dating. Not long ago, a 2 1 year-old boy came to Shijiazhuang alone, rented a house with a girl in the suburb of Shicheng and began to live together. The girls kept the money from their parents and used it to support their "small family" until the nearby residents became suspicious of their behavior and called the police.
The girl's parents were very angry when they learned the truth. At this time, the boy admitted that he just wanted to play in the north and had no long-term plans.
prevent and cure
Teenagers are in the stage of long knowledge and long body, and their values and world outlook are still immature. Blindly indulging in online dating is extremely unfavorable to children. To this end, we call on parents, schools and society to assume corresponding responsibilities, educate and guide correctly, and let children grow up healthily physically and mentally.
3. Indulge in Internet cafes:
Some schools have Internet cafes operating within 100 meters of the gate, and some schools have 1 many Internet cafes nearby, with four more. This phenomenon is more serious in suburbs or remote urban areas. Every afternoon from 4: 00 to 7: 00, almost all Internet cafes are crowded with primary and middle school students wearing school uniforms or even red scarves. Some of these students are playing all kinds of fighting and killing games, some are curiously staring at the photos of beautiful women, immersed in so-called online dating, and some students post on the internet and vent their dissatisfaction with their teachers in extremely dirty language.
Example
On April 22nd, a high school student in Nanchang died suddenly in an Internet cafe.
Yu Bin, a senior three student in Nanchang who was addicted to online games, died suddenly due to psychological pressure and emotional excitement while playing games in Rong Hui Internet Cafe on Chuanshan Road in Nanchang on April 17, which shocked Nanchang citizens. It is understood that there are now more than 400 Internet cafes in Nanchang, and game programs have become the "gold medal" for Internet cafes to attract customers. In Nanchang, primary and middle school students are addicted to internet cafes and don't go home. Parents are eager to ask for help from time to time. Experts call for urgent rectification of internet cafes.
Yu Bin's father is an employee of a state-owned enterprise in Nanchang. In the eyes of him and his wife, his son leaves home for school at 7: 00 every morning, goes home at 12: 30, goes to school at 1: 08+05, and comes back on time in the afternoon. It was not until my son died suddenly in an Internet cafe that I realized that my son, who was usually "obedient", had not gone to school for several months.
The father said that the calculation of his son's online game addiction can be traced back to 65438+ 10 this year. Although Yu Bin likes playing games since he was a child, he has never missed class before. Parents are very strict with their son. They not only stipulated the time for his son to go home every day, but also provided him with a pager. After school, they used the place where they called back to calculate the time when his son got home, but they never thought that his son was still cheating his parents.
