Internet addiction disorder (IAD), also known as problematic Internet use or pathological Internet use, is excessive Internet use that interferes with daily life. Addiction, defined as a “compulsive need for and use of a habit-forming substance”, was traditionally used to depict a person’s dependence on a substance. More recently, the concept has been applied to behavioral dependence including internet use. The problem of Internet addiction evolves together with the development and spread of the Internet. As adolescents (12–17 years) and emerging adults (18–29 years) access the Internet more than any other age groups and undertake a higher risk of overuse of the Internet, the problem of Internet addiction disorder is most relevant to young people.
Excessive use of the Internet has been found to disrupt individuals’ time use and have a series of health consequences. But the existence of Internet addiction as a mental disorder is not yet well recognized. The current version of Diagnostic and Statistical Manual of Mental Disorders (DSM-5), published in 2013, noted that Internet disorder is a condition that requires more research in order to be considered as a full disorder.
A related problem with the use of internet by teenagers is cyberbullying.
The word cyberbullying in today’s time we hear it more and more. The meaning of this word is to make bullying through the web. There are many boys who have received threats, insults from boys through social networks or even through whatsapp, using photos as blackmail. Often a word can hurt more than physical aggression because it could touch delicate parts of our soul. Other people, on the other hand, can be psychologically injured causing depression. Cyberbullies are not limited to a single insult but provocations are becoming more frequent. I think that those who do cyberbullying in the end are more fragile than the person who suffers them and to avoid showing it to the people, do these acts.
