THE NEW DEPENDENCE

According to recent polls, today's kids spend about 40 hours a week on the internet and video games.
The number of teenagers who use the Internet is gradually increased over time, up to 84, 7% of the population.
Social networks are the most visited sites, some of the teens say they use them not to lose touch with distant friends, notes that there are those who decided to break into the world of social networks on the web in order to build relationships and make new friends.
In the long run, however, leisure has become dependent, the adolescent can relate only via web. In fact, only a small part states that the use of the internet may endanger personal privacy. The regular use of these technologies leads progressively to a decline in school performance, withdrawal from any other activity, rebellion and bullying. It further confirms that the adults there is a lack of knowledge of the Internet world, and its rules of any risks, which is the source of the already mentioned attitude of "passive trust" towards their children.
