Social media is causing mental problems!

The Dhaka Times Desk Every day about 37 thousand new internet users are added in the country. New users have Facebook for internet, Imo for talking, Viber, WhatsApp and YouTube for entertainment. But these social media are causing mental problems!

The entire world has become an emotionless platform due to the largely uncontrolled use and negative influence of social media. Addiction through internet and social media is also causing mental problems among teenagers.

In this regard, experts from India's HOD Psychiatry and Chief National Drug Dependence Treatment Center (NDDTC) said that teenagers and young adults are gradually becoming addicted to mobile phones and computers. From this they are also affected by mental problems.

Early last year, the international organization UNICEF called for the protection of 32 percent of Bangladeshi children from online harassment and intimidation. According to UNICEF's press release, "32 percent of children between the ages of 10 and 17 who use the Internet in Bangladesh are at risk of online violence, online intimidation, and digital bullying."

The notification also said that the number of internet users in Bangladesh is increasing day by day. This number has increased at least 800 times since 2000. The average age of the online population in Bangladesh is also decreasing. Even children as young as 11 are accessing and using the Internet daily. However, older children are more at risk of experiencing online bullying than younger children. However, these children are never free from the risk of exposure to harmful materials, sexual exploitation and abuse and intimidation.

Leo Tolstoy, one of the greatest writers of Russian literature, remarked that there are only 3 things that people need in life, and that is 'books, books and books.' But the 3 things that the current generation needs more and more are 'online, online and online.'

So now it is necessary to keep children away from this path. Many also think that it is necessary for children to acquire knowledge. But the way its use is increasing or the way it is being used from good to bad, may lead to major problems with children in the near future. So parents should be more aware to have time.
