In these days, many young people spend a huge amount of time before screen especially smartphones.

There are some reasons to explain for this phenomenon, from my perspective, this is a negative trend.

Several reasons are pointed to interpret this case. Firstly, children use smartphones for studying online
because they are convenient to access and search for documents relating to their study. For example,
instead of buying some books, they can search information on the internet. Secondly, teenagers usually
immerse themselves in many kind of games for entertainment. That’s because their parents are too busy
earning for living and ignoring their offsprings. Another reason is they are lack of friends, so they could
only make friend with smartphones.

In my opinion, this trend has a lot of disadvantages to the youth not only mental health but also physical
health. Young people who spend hours and hours in front of the phone screen can easily catch a disease
than others such as myopia, obesity, and haemorrhoids. Sedentary lifestyle is the main cause why they
don’t want to go outside to play sport or exercise regularly. Moreover, their mental health could be
suffered by that lifestyle because when they focus on surfing the internet , they forget everyone around.
That’s why they become isolated and lack communication skill.

In conclusion, spending hours surfing on the smartphones may affect to the youth both mental health
and physical health. However, we can understand why this phenomenon is more and more popular in
the modern society.
