Cyber wellness

In schools, I feel that students should join CCAs this would help them to lessen the time spent on the Internet. Unlike in Korea, where there are little or no such activities, almost all the teenagers are always only playing online games and using the internet. Even in school they only talking about the things they did on the internet and about their online transactions. I feel that this system in Singapore is better than in Korea as students can spend more time doing these activities than spending time on the Internet.
Another good suggestion that the article( by Tan Yi Hui from AsiaOne) gave was to use the Internet for better purposes such as serving the community and to help other students. Using these methods, teenagers would have a better understanding of how the Internet can be used for better purposes and not for illegal and vice activities.
Although the internet may not always be a bad thing, as it can help us to communicate with other people who we can’t meet often or to meet new people, there still must be control over the way we use it as this may also lead to a cyber addiction and a lack of cyber wellness.
