The reason why children are addicted to mobile phones is not only addicted to the specific product itself, but also to the rich variety of apps and applications on it. Most of these apps are set up for **, and teenagers are not psychologically mature, and a lot of content is not suitable for ** and listening.

Many apps deliberately direct their content in the direction of sensory stimulation and exposure of personal privacy, with the aim of using the underlying psychological needs of human nature to increase user stickiness and expand economic benefits. And their default is that all of them are adults. Although many apps nowadays have a setting for teenagers, most of them are decorations and don't play a big role.

Teenagers, especially adolescents, are curious about new things in the outside world and often forget about the dangers. The dangers of the Internet can be said to be almost ubiquitous, defrauding money, leading crowds to fight, pornography, drugs, gambling, and leaking privacy will bring huge potential harm to young people.

New York City has now taken action, with its mayor saying "tech companies cannot be allowed to monetize children's privacy." According to one report, 77% of secondary school students spend more than three hours a day in front of a screen. That's a terrible statistic. You must know that a person can study, work, and live for about 10 hours a day. All kinds of mobile phone applications and video games such as social networking take up a long time for children, so that they lose the opportunity to interact with the real world offline and explore the real material world, which is very detrimental to their growth.

The various psychological problems caused by addiction to mobile phones are not only very prominent among adults, but also even more distressing among teenagers. Individuals, families, and societies should all take up their own missions and create a good living environment for the healthy growth of children. If the word is the first to push everything, what will be destroyed in the end will be the foundation and space for the survival and development of all people.

Okay, that's all for this issue. Life is very beautiful, be mentally healthy, I am Mr. Liu, see you next time!
