different kind of internet addiction and what the effect of it’s? It’s described on how internets give an

importance and worst to every users of it. And also saying on these theory, on how internet suitable for anyone.

Elihu also says that the Addiction is the one of the main example that was given on UG theory. Being addicted

to an extreme level is bad, this can take away your precious time that should be used for other things more

productive. Teenagers, children, and adults can be addicted on using common websites; they may easily get

Related Theories

Social media has turned into a portion of our daily life. As each coin has two sides, social media also has

favored standpoint and hindrance. Social media can boon or bane depends upon our exploitation the way we use

it. Today, social media use is nearly universal among Adolescents. They are the most enthusiastic users of social

networking and social media. Aim: Purpose of this study is to examine the attitudes of adolescents toward social

media. Specifically, the study has been designed to investigate whether social media boon or bane to the society

and to the adolescents. It is a study of descriptive character with a qualitative approach. The participants of the

research were students of the College of Applied Medical Science, Hafar Al-Batin, and Saudi Arabia. The

sample was comprised by students of the nursing department, who agreed to participate in the research, there

were deleted from the research the ones who did not fill the questionnaire. Data collection was carried out
through a questionnaire that characterized the students sociodemographic, besides guiding the questions

regarding the attitude of adolescents towards social media. Data analysis was done with SPSS statistical

package version 20. The data collected displayed that adolescents recognized that social media has an influence

on their social life and relationship, lifestyle, health, academic performance, and privacy and security. The boon

or the bane of social media on adolescents originates in based on how they use it. If they use it positively, it can

give unbelievable returns to them. On the other hand, a lot of adolescents waste a big portion of their time on

social media. With social media, the information of a lot of adolescents has now become digital which may

cause their confidentiality at risk. This help the hackers shot and acquire data for their use on a daily basis now a

day.

Related Literature

People become addicted or dependent on the Internet through excessive computer use that

interferes with daily life. The Internet has also enabled new forms of self-expression. Through avatars in online-

games and chat rooms, people cannot only freely express their opinions, but also assume different personalities

and express themselves as they never would dare to in real life. This may not in every case be a positive

development, as some people may deliberately cloak their true identities in order to commit criminal activities.

But the positive effects certainly lie in the ability to express and find one's identity beyond questions of

ethnicity, gender, race, or social status. Conflicts in identities can be discussed with like-minded people openly

and anonymously. – (Young - 2003)

A doctor cannot diagnose a problem without talking to the patient; likewise, children and parents

must feel comfortable discussing Internet problems. Parents need to encourage children to report whatever

happens on the Internet. Research has shown that about 25 percent of children do not report inappropriate

Internet experiences. The explanations for this vary; many children are too scared, ashamed, or shocked to tell.

Parents must build a level of trust that encourages their children to report fears of any kind. Parents should not

blame themselves when their children encounter problems online. (Yan June 2007)
 Anxieties about teenager online relationships tend to be regarding to the contact and socialization

with the stranger, and also regarding the use of technological tools to harm or moles someone as well as to be

bullied. Although, according to Wolak et al (2002) –The majority of Internet initiated connections involving

youth appear to be friendship related, nonsexual, and formed between similar-aged youth and known to parents.
