The harm of Internet cafes to teenagers
Since the Internet entered our country in the late 1990s, it has developed at an alarming rate. Now, the Internet is like capillaries all over urban and rural areas of our country. It should It is said that the Internet has brought about a profound social change, brought about a comprehensive innovation in management methods and life production, and greatly promoted the development of society.
However, the Internet cafes that are spread all over the corners of urban and rural areas are like beautiful traps, causing many students to lose their souls, lose their will, have no intention of studying, and abandon their future. According to a survey, more than 80% of students surf the Internet to play games, and about 15% to make friends and chat. Very few actually search for information for learning. More than 13% of boys like to surf the Internet or are obsessed with it, which seriously affects their studies. During the winter and summer vacations, students are even more unscrupulous. Many students stay up all night playing video games and surfing the Internet. Internet cafes have become a major obstacle and crux for education, society, and families. They are also a major focus of concern in society.
Online games, online chatting and online pornography are the three evil claws of the Internet and the three killers that degenerate young people. Since online games, pornography and chatting are full of excitement, thrills and romance, once many Internet fans come into contact with them, they become deeply involved and unable to extricate themselves. The "three claws" of the Internet are also called "electronic heroin" and are executioners who kill without blinking an eye. We believe that the harm of being addicted to Internet cafes is mainly in the following aspects:
1. Destroying the body
Zeng Qiang, a student from Class 178 of Zhunchuan No. 1 Middle School in our city, went to the bar continuously Within ten days, the visual acuity dropped from 1.2 to 0.2. In April this year, a 13-year-old primary school student in Xinshao County, our province, stole 300 yuan from home and played video games in an Internet cafe for four consecutive days and nights. Due to the strong stimulation and thrilling fighting of online games, the gamer's blood pressure, height, and heartbeat were lowered. Excessive speed, coupled with excessive fatigue, finally exhausted the Internet cafe. In mid-May 2001, a 12-year-old primary school student in Liuyang stayed in an Internet cafe for three days and three nights. He drank water when he was hungry, took a nap on the computer table when he was sleepy, and played games all night long. When his family found him, his body had already collapsed. Extreme exhaustion, almost death. Internet fans are so obsessed with games that they can go crazy without eating or sleeping. Due to the high concentration of energy when playing games, the blood and heartbeat speed up, which consumes a lot of physical strength and energy. Coupled with the air erosion in video games and Internet cafes, the high population density, the smell of cigarettes, food, and sweat, the sound of machines, slapstick, and swearing, the sound is harsh, and the sanitary and environmental conditions are extremely poor. Seriously affects physical health. Therefore, when an Internet fan who plays video games all night walks out of an Internet cafe, his eyes will be swollen, his hair will be unkempt, his legs will feel weak, and he will appear to be in a state of numbness. Young students are growing up. If they go to Internet cafes day and night without knowing their hunger or thirst, the harm to their bodies will be no less than that of marijuana, white powder and other poisons. This is not an exaggeration.
2. Psychological damage
Because Internet fans have a strong psychological dependence on the Internet, in mild cases it may affect their studies and health, and in serious cases it may lead to psychological abnormalities and distorted mentality. A junior high school student in a school in our city had very good grades and was admitted to a key middle school with excellent results. His family bought him a computer as a prize. However, since he bought the computer at home, I don’t know when. He became obsessed with online chatting and soon found his "lover" online. Since he had his online "lover", his online beauty has been borrowing money from him again and again. He wanted to continue the relationship with her, but he was indecisive and could not cut off the relationship. In an extremely contradictory state of mind, he stole money from home and sent it to his "lover" again and again. From then on, the phone bill at home skyrocketed, and the money in the cashier was often If he didn't do it right, he himself would be frightened and conflicted, becoming taciturn, withdrawn and weird, and irritable and irritable. After his family discovered that he was making friends online, they were very angry. They smashed the computer and sent him to school and home every day. He was locked in his room every night and was not allowed to come out. The student became almost crazy. There is also a high school sophomore in our city who was once obsessed with Internet cafes. A student with excellent academic performance, because he was addicted to Internet cafes all day and night, his grades plummeted. His family was very angry, and his teacher was very worried. Even if he couldn't be rescued from the Internet cafe, he himself became silent, restless, couldn't eat, couldn't sleep, and looked almost dementia. Some students go online to adjust their mentality.
The school workload is heavy and the psychological pressure is high. If you can find a loyal audience (not necessarily a friend) to chat with online, you can relax and become emotionally stable. We do not deny this statement. Some students have grasped it well. It has certain benefits in regulating the mind, but in fact, many minors cannot grasp the Internet once they go online, and spend too much time and energy in Internet cafes, which affects their studies, makes teachers criticize, makes parents angry, and makes their psychological burden even heavier. .
3. Breeding disputes
Most of the people who go in and out of Internet cafes are primary and secondary school students, ranging from a few years old to seventeen or eighteen years old. Most of them have no income. In order to get the money to enter the Internet cafe For money, some gang up for extortion, and some steal and rob. There is also a group of people who come in and out of Internet cafes. They purely blackmail primary and secondary school students. Fights often occur in Internet cafes. In 2001, 20% of juvenile crimes in our city were related to Internet cafes. Some Internet cafe operators are only interested in profit and provide services to minors who stay overnight. Food and accommodation, children staying out at night, parents are naturally anxious, and relatives, friends, and teachers go out to look for people everywhere, which indeed brings instability to the family. It can be seen that Internet cafes have become a major gathering place for trouble.
4. Impact on academic performance
A middle school student teacher said that once students become obsessed with Internet cafes, they have given up on their pursuit of life. Once students enter Internet cafes, their grades plummet. One Internet fan wrote: Damn Internet cafe, you took away my studies and my university. I gritted my teeth and felt heartbroken! But I just can't control myself! This classmate said: As soon as I close my eyes, I see the keyboard, and any object I touch with my fingers feels like a mouse. When I click the mouse, missiles will be launched. We cannot truly enter the inner world of those Internet fans to appreciate their feelings, but we can imagine how much energy they have to study with their wandering eyes, red eyes, and tired minds. If a child loves to play football, it will waste up to one or two hours a day. If a child is greedy, he will spend at most a few yuan a day. But if a child is addicted to Internet cafes, it will ruin his life! I don’t want to belittle Internet cafes too badly, but if you just listen to the heart-wrenching words of our teachers and our parents and see how distraught the children are, should all departments in our society think about what we should do for the children? What.
5. Safety hazards
Most Internet cafes do not hire professionals to install equipment, nor do they place computers in their business premises without permission from fire protection, security, culture, health and other departments. Density, computer wiring, safety exits, etc. all have problems to varying degrees. Moreover, most Internet cafes only have one door for entry and exit, and there are no safe passages or evacuation signs, posing huge safety risks.
