Digital world

Nowadays, internet and different kinds of electronic devices provide adolescents with many ways of communicating, searching for information, watching videos, playing games and so on. These activities and devices can be viewed as an important part of adolescents’ daily lives. Internet and these devices are convenient and helpful, but bear certain risks too: adolescents’ may neglect other activities and duties, may become a victim of cyber-bullying or may not get an adequate amount of sleep at night.
