'Addiction is an adaptation; it’s not you it’s a cage you live in.'

Observing today’s most common concern of parents and the impact on students' mental health and lost focus, a session on 'Internet addiction' was conducted for the students of classes S1 to S3 on May 12, 2023 and 15, 2023 respectively.

The workshop commenced with explaining the main difference between ‘habit’ and ‘addiction‘ followed by the meaning of internet addiction. The students were also guided about various types of internet addiction –cybersex addiction, net compulsion, cyber relationship addiction and compulsive information seeking. The effect of internet addiction on their physical and mental well being was also emphasised.

The highlight of the workshop was the ways to overcome this addiction. It was a very interactive and informative session for the students as they interacted enthusiastically and also cleared their doubts regarding the topic.
