Causes of children's internet addiction.
Psychological reasons:
(1) Loneliness. Now most primary and middle school students are only children. Because school education values wisdom over morality and scores over ability, children feel nervous and stressed. At home, the only child has no brothers or sisters, and they feel lonely. Psychologically, they are most eager to communicate with their peers to ease their hearts.
Stress, vent your troubles, loneliness and pain. On the internet, children can also like and desire to play a satisfactory role according to their own needs. Shortcomings and deficiencies in real life can be made up by virtual creation on the Internet.
(2) means of escape. There are always ups and downs in a person's life, and it is inevitable that there will be unsatisfactory things. If they go through twists and turns, teenagers have a strong desire to be competitive, and they want to be recognized by others. Then, he may choose not to communicate with others, including friends, teachers and students or family, and turn to a brand-new environment.
-Network, people's true identity is hidden, they don't have to hide anything, speak freely. In other words, the internet has become a means for him to talk and vent, and it is also the object for him to seek "understanding" and help.
(3) curiosity. Teenagers have a strong thirst for knowledge and curiosity, and have a strong ability to recognize and accept new things. Nowadays, many people's latest ideas, recent events and inner news are spread through the internet, which first occupies the hearts of young people and then spreads to the society. place
Because some young people are curious, want to master the latest trends and want to be prophets. Driven by curiosity and vanity, I began to contact the Internet. If there is no correct guidance, it will cause network dependence.
(4) Psychological characteristics of teenagers. The psychological characteristics of teenagers are an important reason. Their physical maturity makes them think that they are also "adults" psychologically. They should have the ability to distinguish right from wrong, and so should the Internet. Their plans for the future are vague, but they are here now.
It is obvious to pursue the happiness of existence. Every day, teachers advise education and parents cry. In the eyes of some teenagers who think they are adults, they feel that time is not fleeting. Although some people realize that indulging in the internet is not a good thing and will affect their study and future development, they think that they have neglected their studies for a long time and are unable to recover, so they choose to continue to escape.
Social reasons:
(1) Lack of education supervision. On the one hand, information technology courses are now offered in primary and secondary schools, and in recent years, with the new curriculum reform, the content and concept of teaching materials have been gratifying updated. Pay attention to the development and characteristics of students. However, there are also some problems in the concrete implementation, which affect the students' trust.
Learn and master information technology. First, the school has teachers. The level of teachers is uneven, which ignores the cultivation of students' information literacy. Students don't realize the role of information technology, and even think that the most interesting thing about information technology is surfing the Internet, where you can see new things. Some schools don't want students to have
Internet addiction, simply cutting off at the "source" and preventing it from surfing the Internet, will lead to greater curiosity and resistance. Second, the information technology evaluation mechanism is flawed. In some places, the examination scope of high school information technology courses is not flexible, and the content of junior high school textbooks is not gradient and repetitive.
There are too many sexual contents, and students are not interested in learning, which makes it very difficult for teachers to attend classes: forcing students to study, and students suffer: learning a lot of uninterested things. The second aspect is the dilemma of school moral education: many schools advocate that students should focus on learning and do all moral education as a decoration and an activity.
It has become a kind of preaching and a burden. Teachers think that students learn well, which leads to ignoring students' outlook on life and values. Third, society, especially Internet cafes, turns a blind eye. Around 2000, Internet cafes began to appear on the streets like mushrooms after rain, especially during last week.
Wai. According to the relevant regulations, students don't have to show their identity documents when they enter the Internet cafe. "All who come are guests" and all rely on "money". There are also Internet cafes to help students avoid the tracing of parents, teachers and relevant departments, provide "convenient" services, and allow students to spend the night in Internet cafes. This is also a hotbed of internet addiction.
(2) the competition of merchants. "Unhealthy online games are electronic opium, which has poisoned our tens of millions of teenagers. Legend is a typical unhealthy online game. Chen Tianqiao's Shanda Company once declared that "online games started with legends". I think this sentence is still in the middle, and that is "10 million"
The depravity of China teenagers began with legends, the sufferings of China's parents began with legends, and the tragedy of China's family disharmony began with legends! On April 5, 2006, Professor Tao Hongkai just returned to Wuhan from a lecture on quitting Internet addiction in Changsha. He told reporters angrily. he
He also said, "Some media have long wanted to promote Chen Tianqiao's face-to-face dialogue with me, but he was afraid to see me. I did it for his own good. There are three little iron men kneeling in front of Yue Fei's tomb by the West Lake. I don't want a fourth one. " Professor Tao may be sharp-tongued, but he points out a social reason for the problem of Internet addiction. Negative effects of businessmen's pursuit of profit maximization.
Family reasons:
(1) Parents' educational methods are improper. For example, parents' expectations of their children are too single, and the quality of academic performance becomes the only source of children's sense of accomplishment. Once learning fails, children will have a strong sense of frustration. But online, they can easily experience success: if they pass any level, they can get a "reward".
",this sense of accomplishment is difficult for them to understand in real life.
(2) Parents set inappropriate goals for their children. In the process of children's growth, parents arrange too many things, such as going to a good school, finding a class, finding a good class teacher and so on. In this case, children will naturally have an idea that learning is for their parents and they don't have to worry about anything, including the future.
Employment, as long as you are willing to spend money and have a relationship, can be "done", thus lacking the internal motivation of learning. The fundamental reason why these children are obsessed with the Internet is that they have not formed a correct concept of learning.
(3) The factors of disharmony in family relations. With the increase of social problems such as divorce rate and crime rate, the number of "problem families" in society is also increasing. These children are usually not warm at home. But on the internet, any small request they make will get a lot of help. at present
The contrast between real life and virtual society in humanistic care makes it easy for children from "problem families" to "hide" in the network.
The attraction of the network itself:
(1) online chat. Give young people in physical and mental development equal opportunities to communicate with others. Meet their psychological needs.
(2) Online games. The temptation of the game itself is irresistible. The virtual field of online games satisfies children's fantasies, such as "success" and "fruitful results".
(3) Online novels. It is not excluded that some of them are really well written and novel in content, which can break through the limitations of historical space, break through the constraints of ethics and reality and attract everyone's attention. And online novels are easy to update. Throw out a brick first, and then add a piece of jade in a few days, which requires readers to keep following.
Look, always remember. (4) Internet pornography. Due to the cultural characteristics of our country, when it comes to sex education, many parents and teachers turn pale at the mention of sex education, and take measures to prevent their children. Internet provides another way for the spread of pornographic content. It is an indisputable fact that many website merchants just lure teenagers to click on pornography for profit.
