A survey has revealed that children are often happier with their online lives than they are with reality and I feel this latest phenomenon quite alarming. They say they can be exactly who they want to be – and as soon as something is no longer fun they can simply hit the quit button.
The report – Virtual Lives: It is more than a game, it is your life – shows the attitudes of children today to the internet and includes revealing insights into how they feel when they are on the web. One told researchers: ‘It’s easier to be who you want to be, because nobody knows you and if you don’t like the situation you can just exit and it is over. ’Another said: ‘You can say anything online. You can talk to people that you don’t normally speak to and you can edit your pictures so you look better. It is as if you are a completely different person.’ One in eight young people is in contact with strangers when on the web and often lies about their appearance, age and background.
Psychotherapist Peter Bradley, said that the desire for so many to adopt a different identity online was a cause for concern, because the children were being divorced from reality. ‘These findings suggest that children see cyberspace as detachable from the real world. He further warned that children could put themselves or their friends in danger.
I agree that we can’t allow cyber worlds to be happier places than our real communities as it will lead to a chaotic situation in future. Letting this happen means that we are creating a generation of young people who are not functioning adequately in our society.’ For that reason, parents and school should continuously warn children on safe online behavior.
