This is an ideal place for them to avoid personal problems, guilt. , disappointed, worried and hopeless in real life , "Nichola Webb, Cowan University psychologist (Australia), continues to recommend web addiction - the phenomenon has been mentioned a lot of time. .

"Fresh" content is appearing abundantly on the Internet, only teenagers secretly "learn" and satisfy their curiosity without fear of teachers and friends discovering.
