In recent times these had been the issues which teenagers are not aware about or some of them knows and tend to leave it that way, virtual existences had been around since the internet evolution but the dangers and effect its having on teenagers are quiet serious. From the article i read on daily mail which mention about the kid which uses her mother debit card to purchase accessories in order for more convience in playing the video game, this is a result of been addicted to the virtual world because he enjoys it more than physical existence.
Peter Bradley who is a psychotherapist is concern about the situation as well because many children have seperate themselves from reality by creating a different identity whenever they are online.
Even referring to people in my age bracket or to myself we tend to spend more time on social networking websites suchs as twitter or facebook, personally i spend upto six hours a day on facebook to check what my family and friends are up to. I noticed that children behave the same way like adults do but thiers are more extreme.
This is an interesting comment. 6 hours a day on FB would amount to 42 hours a week - the equivalent to a full-time job. If someone is doing a full time job and FB, maybe they have two full-time jobs?
