Kate's first class starts at eight o’clock in the morning and it’s 1.30a.m now.
The only sound that you can hear in Kate's small room is the clicking of a
computer keyboard. Her mum does no longer know what to do. Everyday, it’s
the same. She goes to bed half an hour later. “Kate does no longer pay
attention to her studies or to the report she has to present next week .She
ignores all types of homework.”Her mother says. She cares only about the
conversations she carries on with people from all over the world without
caring about her grades or her friends in real life”. Kate who is a school
student, spends about 75hours per week online. "I can’t stop. I have lost
touch with all my friends in real life."

The Internet access in North American households increases, that’s why

the number of teenagers who spend a long time of their lives online, has
increased, too. Psychologists say “Look out! an increasing number of teens
are going into a new form of addiction “. In an interview Kate de
clared:"I'm destroying my future and I am becoming isolated from the
society," "I failed English last year... I didn’t care about my studies but at
least, I feel free. In fact, I can talk to others about any topic without
being afraid of the consequences”. She added” I have found people who are
ready to listen to my words “
