How to Help Teenagers Overcome Internet Addiction

The internet has become an indispensable part of modern life, with nearly every adolescent owning a mobile device. This not only changes the way they learn, but also poses the risk of internet addiction. Professor Min-Pei Lin from the Department of Educational Psychology and Counseling at National Taiwan Normal University conducted a two-year longitudinal study on first-year high school students in Taiwan to investigate the phenomenon of internet addiction among Taiwanese adolescents and its underlying causes. The study found that when adolescents experience negative psychological states and have lower distress tolerance, they often turn to the internet or vent their emotions as a way to "escape" from stress, gradually becoming addicted to the internet.
