I agree that the internet can be a safe haven of sorts for social phobic people. they can take time to think of how they want themselves to be percived by others. lack of personal contact eliminates the urgency of the situation by giving them control over what image they put out to others. I can see it becoming quite addictive for these individuals because , they get human contact in a way but do not have to be seen. they can make up whatever persona they choose to and no one can feel thier air of tension or anxiety. In the internet world you are who you choose to be.

We are living in an internet era and are dependent on it for our personal and professional work. But over involvement in internet activities like chatting, mailing can make a person addict. Internet addiction symptoms can be found in most of the youth today. They feel lonely without internet and become aggressive when anyone disturbs them while working on internet.

According to the recent study done by researchers it has been analyzed that kids and teens that spend long time of internet are more likely to be affected from severe depression, stress and anxiety like problems. Compulsive internet use makes the teenagers web addicted. There are many residential treatment centers dedicated to help internet addicted kids to overcome stressing issues. Counseling programs and proper supervision support children to achieve balanced life. The other negative aspect of extreme internet addiction is that adolescents become family and socially isolated and like to spend time alone on computer. http://www.troubledteens.net/
