According to a warning given to the Annual Meeting of the Royal College of Psychiatrists, this generation who use internet for everything and who have never known a world unless they surf on-line are growing up with a dangerous view of the world and their own identity. They are going through major identity crisis. People who born after 1990 have grown up in a world dominated by online social networks such as Facebook and MySpace. Many of these youngsters use Internet as the main medium to communicate. Their relationships are quickly disposed at the click of a mouse. Because of the online social networking, people find the real world boring and unstimulating. Because of this online mess, youngsters are going through the stages of vulnerable to impulsive to suicide.
Chat room communication reduced sensory experience; person’s expression/body language/ voice/tone aren’t there; and this can shape one’s perceptions of the interaction differently. Online session changes the perception to a dream-like state, and this unnatural blending of mind with the other person leads to entirely different meaning to friendships and relationships.

Yeah, and red is the same as blue. How about you post something meaningful. “Youngsters are going through the stages of vulnerable to impulsive to suicide” because of everyday stress. The problem is not the internet or social networking, but rather that our children being taught to act grown up when in fact they are just children. This is so prevalent in society that it is easy to see that these children cannot yet function in a grown up reality and mentality. Mainly because they are children, just thought I should say that again…
If you think what we are posting isn’t useful. Why don’t you submit us whatever you think that is useful to the society.
It’s a finding by Royal College of Psychiatrist. They have done many researches so far regarding this problem. It’s not someone’s opinion..
