kate and the internet
kate's first class starts at eight o'clock in the morning and it is 1.30a.m now. the only sound that you can
hear in kate's small room is the clicking of a computer keyboard. her mum does no longer know what to do. every
day, it's the same. she goes to bed half an hour later. kate does no longer pay attention to her studies or to the report
she has to present next week. she ignores all types of homework. her mother says: “she cares only about the
conversations she carries on with people from all over the world without caring about her grades or her friends in
real life". kate, who is a school learner, spends about 75hours per week online. "i can't stop. i have lost touch with
all my friends in real life."
the internet access in american households increases, that's why the number of teenagers who spend a
long time of their lives online, has increased too. psychologists say: "look out! a big number of teenagers are going
into a new form of addiction”. in an interview kate declared: "i'm destroying my future and i am becoming isolated
from the society," "i failed english last i didn't care about my studies but at least, i feel free. in fact, i can
talk to others about any topic without being afraid of the consequences". she added: "i have found people who are
ready to listen to my words”.
