World Mental Health Day - October 10th

~alcheme:iconalcheme: reports, 1d 17h ago
A friend of mine, *Flutterings came up with the idea to post a news story about mental illness in honor of the "World Mental Health Day", but with the day fast closing (at least in my time zone) and knowing she has a plethora of other things she is currently dealing with, I opted to post myself.

But my news article not withstanding, her original intent, and beautiful deviation commemorating the day and the essence should not be merely over looked, but seen and applauded ([link]).

The dependency of the kids to the new technologies

~yenke:iconyenke: reports, December 12, 2007
The new technologies have changed completely the form of life of the young people. In some aspects they have improved her very much, for example to be able to realize the school works; but these technologies also have had some negative aftereffects. In the latter years a big advance has taken place in the technologies, every time it is improved more what we already have, and this is beneficial to improve our quality of life. The problem is that sometimes this can loose the control and create addiction between the children and adolescents especially, so these technologies are considered to be now a drug.

The Spanish young people from 12 to 29 years thinks that the new technologies have turned into “ goods of the first need ” that gives to them “ independence with regard to the exterior world ”.
Some of the things that “ more they need ” are:
- The mass media.
- The consoles.
- The TIC: computers, mobiles, Internet …
- The photos and videos of digital or mobile cameras.

This independence has created a radical change in the sociabilización and forms of being related of the young people, since the presence and the contact considered by the young people as two essential beginning without which it is not possible to cause a friendship are not visible for the use of the technologies, for example, with the use of the Messenger.
The advantages that the young people sees in him are great and varied. First of all they point to that allows a communication “ continues, long and economic ”. On the other hand, it allows them to choose with whom one speaks or to remain secret until it is interesting to him to "appear". For it, the it in which the young people uses the Messenger is, the familiar hearth where “ they feel safe and desinhiben ”.
These technologies also influence the familiar relations, creating a privacy for the children that is hardly controlable for the parents.In this sense, the majority of the Spanish young people possess a computer in its own room, which gives place to a few rooms “ equipped not to have to go out ”.
On the mobiles, the youngest receive his first of hands of his own parents, who see in the terminal an element of control, but that, according to the understood ones, if certain limits are not established can end in dependency, especially in whom they come from hearths desestructurados and that drag certain problems of relation with his social ambience.
This dependency is tied to the school defeat and to the affectionate disappointment what leads them to suffering an affective deficit and that try suplir somehow.
Immaturity of character, insecurity in one himself, instability and communicative difficulty are some of the features that characterize them and that take them to the lie and to the theft to be able to be financed you are still even called them.
Some adolescents, the majority of those who are hooked on these technologies indicated as "drugs", they can abuse his use to evade the problems, since this entertains them and forget. The ideal thing in these cases would be that the undue use of the technologies was watched more, but this is a very difficult work since it is not possible to be the whole day controlling them, so or it takes a prompt action or this can go so far as to suppose a problem of difficult solution.
