Question 1
The contemporary problem facing adolescents is the internet along with gaming
addiction. Nowadays, youngsters are interested in hanging out, communicating, socializing along
with watching videos instead of contacting people like in the old days (Jorgenson, Hsiao & Yen,
2016). For instance, teenagers in this modern era play Pokémon which is one of the famous
games globally which creates misunderstanding between the young generation and the parent
generation which is the old generation. These adolescents spend most of their time chatting on
Whatsapp, Twitter, and Facebook instead of talking to people on phone.
This problem is caused by several factors like economic, technological, cultural, social as
well as familial factors. When teenagers do not acquire the care and attention they deserve from
their families they feel lonely and they find an alternative to passing time and to get relaxed from
stressful situations. In that case, parents should concentrate and focus on likes and dislikes of
their children and give their children time for playing games with limitations instead of taking
their phones and making them more aggressive.
The external stressors related to this problem include family stressors as well as academic
stressors (Busari, 2016). Nowadays, students are like pressure cookers and adolescents encounter
a lot of stress to deal with school work such as homework, assignments as well as seminars.
However, the main stress of these adolescents comes from exams. They experience stress while
studying for examination making bright students not to get better grades. Furthermore, in
society, there are a lot of family issues more so when the parents’ divorce or separate brings a lot
of stress to children. The adolescent period is the time when they need the care of both the
parents but if they separate the children are left with much stress that can affect even their
performance.
