Good afternoon readers and guests of the "Family and Childhood" site. Today we consider the topic - the dependence of adolescents from social networks. Social networks with each minute absorb an increasing number of children and adolescents. Having discovered this amazing world, schoolchildren almost move there.

Therefore, it is interpreted in the networks all free time, six to ten hours. And not only on the pages of their own school, where you can, for example, learn about the homework, school events and parental meetings - This is, of course, useful, but not too interesting. The kids climb everywhere where they are not too lazy, and what they do there - only they know themselves.

There are everything in networks: cartoons, movies, games, music, not to mention dating and live communication - with real and virtual friends. With a suggestion for the desk, it is more convenient to cross the words on his page "VKontakte" to call on the phone. And to say the girl (or a guy) "I like you" much easier in the virtual world.

And what a pleasure to find a page of your favorite (or vice versa) of the teacher and write something on the wall! The nature of the written, of course, will fully depend on the relationship to the teacher.

Parents look at such a passion for their children in different ways. Some - through your fingers. Others - with understanding and approval. Third - with irritation. Fourth - with relief. There are those who consider networks a natural disaster, to deal with which there is no point. Probably they are right. Passion for virtual communication in the modern world has acquired a pandemic character. "Network Disease" (in different stages) is subject to almost everything.

The networks communicate, find old friends, get acquainted with new ones, are preparing for exams, looking for work, buy goods, earn money, even make revolutions. This is an integral component of our life. The only question is, this delight is safe (and sometimes the dependence) is at a young age.

If we talk about the advantages and minuses of social networks, then the arguments of their supporters and opponents are approximately equal. And right and others. Indisient advantages, among which the opportunity to search and find friends, salvation from loneliness, help (albeit virtual) in difficult situations, raising your own status, etc. - Everything suggests that social networks today is the most convenient and mobile form of human communication.

What primarily impresses teenagers in social networks?

First of all, the fact that this virtual world has unlimited possibilities, is also easily accessible. That is, you can use them without costs and any volume, while not peeling from the sofa. Anyone is typical of trying to walk along the path of least resistance, and social networks just give such an opportunity. He clicked several times the mouse - and the world of your feet.

Make everything with him that he wants and get pleasure from it. Meet interesting people, listen to music, play online, ask the Council, express your opinion, communicate in interest - and you will be happy, which in this context is synonymous with self-realization. That is, what often in real life is missing.

Unlike the real, the virtual world is more structured. In social networks, it is much easier to find people of the very "blood group". For example, in the real world they are scattered at a distance of thousands of kilometers, and in virtual - combined under the roof of one community. Sometimes a person close in spirit lives in the same city, and even on a parallel street, and you would never make friends with him and not even know each other if it were not for a social network. With favorable circumstances, virtual friends become real.

But the attractiveness of social networks is not only possible to "deal with" new friends, and above all - in unlimited freedom. There no one imposes anything to anyone - you choose yourself, in what direction to go and with whom to communicate. Being yourself or to be the one who always wanted, but did not work. Or, on the contrary, to finally become the real one who actually hide from other views and ratings.

Apparently, it is precisely this, first of all, such a mad popularity of social networks and the desire to plunge there - because in the real world there is very often there is no such choice. You have to do wrong what you want, but what you need. In order not to be a "white crow" in the peer environment. And in the networks - dry, warm, flies do not bite. And if suddenly what a pribrous troll is to ban him and that's it.

Therefore, it is quite clear that adolescents who often suffer from complexes and lack of understanding of adults prefer virtual communication. Everything is very simple: it's more comfortable there. Especially when with Internet friends really more points of contact than with a real environment. But unfortunately, it often happens that the social network is so sucking a person, the main experiences occur in it, and life outside it is nothing more than forced loads.

I barely waking up in the morning and did not even have time to smoke your eyes, "poisoned by the network" rather includes a computer to see, there are comments on his post or status. In school or institute, he is mainly engaged in non-training, but by pressing the buttons on its iPod, from time to time interrupting to look into the network - something new did not appear.

And coming home in the evening, he again, however, rushes to the monitor - because you need to reconsider the ribbon of friends and latest updates In the Commonwealth, read comments on your posts and comment on other people, answer the comments and comment on the answers.

The person catches the buzz from his social demand, nothing else matters - neither grass on the street, nor the sun in heaven, nor learning, nor a family that is missing that it is so generously distributed to Internet friends. Against this background, there are increasingly conversations about dependence on social networks as a component at all.

So, signs of dependence on social networks in adolescents:

Child conducts a large number of time at a computer without distracted even on food and sleep
Because of the hobby, his successes in school deteriorate;
Teen prefers virtual friends, almost does not go outside;
The interests of the teenager are limited to the computer only.
A teenager becomes very irritable, or vice versa, manifests full indifference to others.

You can get rid of dependencies if you switch the child's attention to something else. For this, first of all, it is worth paying attention to the lifestyle of your family - whether you pay enough time to your child, because often children with heads go to the Internet precisely because of the lack of parental attention and love.

Another reason - failures in the field of communicating with peers. In this case, it is necessary to help teenage to gain self-confidence, find a way to expand his circle of communication.

Like any disease, the dependence of adolescents from social networks is easier to prevent than then treat. Therefore, it is better to do prevention. Take care of your children. And today everything. So far, so far. Before new meetings on the pages of the site "Family and Childhood".

Those who are not registered in social networks, even if they are not voluntarily, perceived by us as a hopelessly retaliated people. Doctors beat the alarm, comparing dependence on the social. Networks with alcoholism and addicts. This "virus", which is incumbent "Kaspersky", infected and Orthodox Internet users.

All social Networks, whether classmates or VKontakte, Facebook, etc., etc., similar to each other. In them, you can tell literally everything about yourself: from the name and place of stay to personal photos. The "wall" of the pages in the social network gives the public a series of status-experiences, sayings, jokes, and, by the way, often and useful things.

We must pay tribute to social. Networks. The speed with which people turn out to be in contact with the help of VC, OK and FB, sometimes extremely convenient in the modern world. At high speed in them, the shed radio is triggered by rewrings. Information is distributed instantly around the world, and often it is worthy of attention of such a number of people.

Nevertheless, all the amenities are applied to nothing when the most present dependence arises from social networks.

Why is the dependence on social networks?

Page in social. Network is a small personal scene of each person. We create "our own world" on a page that are divided with others. Your illusory world. On the scene page we will appear cheerful, laying out the best photos. The statements of thinkers create the appearance of our wisdom and readiness ...

Dependence on social. Nets are supported by our laziness and fear. It is so easy, unclear and impertuous to climb into the network, write something to a friend from the page where your shinies best photo. It is much easier than to call and arrange a meeting. After all, it is necessary to prepare, put yourself in order, go somewhere. And here, and you are in contact ... It is easy to engage in lightning observation, developing curiosity. And about the discussion of the pages of other people and there is nothing more precisely - there is something, but we will not: And so everything is clear.

Orthodox communities on social networks

As well, that after so many years of persecution of the church, the treasures of patristic statements have become available. Modern technologies Allow them to illustrate them, it is very nice to arrange and publish in social. networks. The emergence of Orthodox communities in social networks made it possible to share this with a large number of brothers and sisters. Currently, we have an abundance of such orthodox groups, posts (recordings) in which one other is more interesting and more attractive. Externally, all this may seem beautiful. But remember the words of Isaac Sirina: "Without measure, turns to the detriment and revered by the wonderful".

Suppose you have discovered dependence, recognized it. And rush to the extreme - to remove from all networks. It would not be a very faithful solution, although it is not necessary to generalize, in some cases only this will affect.

However, the conveniences that are bringing social. Networks most likely make you return again to them. Everything will begin again. You need to learn to take advantage of your stay in Soc. networks and exclude harm. Some tips will help do it.

In general, personal, family photos, the photos of kids lay out on the Internet is not worth it. Let's say more, it is dangerous, especially in the latter case.

Some mother was shocked when I saw a photo of my child as the title in the community, where supporters of movement against children "Child -Frey" were gathered. Especially negative emotions caused criticism of the baby, seasoned with an abnormative vocabulary.

If you decide to post photos into an album, then take care of his privacy - for friends, and even better for a narrow circle of friends. Stay in several photos. It is absolutely no need to lay out photos from each of your holiday or weekends.

Thus, the number of estimates "I like" will decline, and your sincere equilibrium will be closer to normal.

We, Orthodox Christians, all this should concern first. For idle sitting in social. Networks every will give an answer. But we, believers, informed. The more terrible consequences. We, like no other, should ridden for the disposal and prevention of dependence on social. Networks.

What purity of thoughts and freedom is felt when you limit yourself from this social networking of posts, photos and comments! Let's not forget that in getting rid of any dependencies, as in any important case, the prayer challenge to God about blessing, help, strengthening - the very first thing we just need to do.

Then everything will definitely work!

Video about the dependence on social networks

About a year ago, I suddenly found that it was much more complicated to focus on one task than usual. Solving to deal with this problem, I further learned about how the giraffes are sleeping that it is useful to buy on Aliexpress for 2 dollars, how to tie a scarf 30 different ways And what to do if you suddenly got lost in the forest ...

So, in infinity of the information available for several months. In the morning I found myself in Facebook, the supposedly necessary business communities commented in the tram, in the evening I wondered interesting characters in instagram. Everything is interesting, partially motivating and even useful.

The phone lived his life and jumped into my hands. All automatically, how to clean your teeth, go to the street or scratch where itches. So far I have not found that I have nothing to be proud of. Under the bed - Bermuda triangles of lost time, on the road - the oceans of inadmissible thoughts and unfamiliated plans, and in the head - a viscous, cooled porridge with crowging lumps.

Due to the corner, the unnecessary morning yoy-warm-up looks out, and a long-standing dream is dressed in the chest - sharply sharpened pleasant to the touch pencils for drawing. All this is sacrificing a small thin white box with a screen.

Less time on what is really important.

This cheerful unequal battle

Realizing the scale of the problem and glowing Validol, I sat down to think that you can do with all this. Still simply - to start at least less often take the phone. Yeah, Schar! This is how not to think about the White Monkey - now to hang in networks (what a word, yes, yes?) The flour of conscience and surprise their own weavor.

What to do?

The conscience devoured me from the inside, the sadness lowered the corners of the lips. It was necessary to urgently at least start using my favorite way - the "idea of \u200b\u200bsmall steps" and apply the simplest solutions. I wanted to get rid of automatism and, if possible, it makes it easy to access social networks. The problem was that at work I still needed to be in them and quite quickly respond to messages in messenger. Unlimited Internet The phone, which is necessary for the case, also did not add optimism in the decision to end the problem of distraction.

Simple techniques to start

To begin with, I will tell about several simple tactical techniques that I did. If this problem is also relevant for you - try, for sure, something will come to you too.

gave three key working contacts a backup SC-connection with me and disabled instant notifications from all messengers, except for one (probably you need to turn off everything, but I can not so much),
delivered a digital password to access to the phone (the first week helped),
removed the instagram icon from an easily accessible panel in the phone and hidden the application somewhere far away (it helped so that instagram, I threw it for a long time!),
put the phone into the long-distance pocket of the bag and must be fastened,
now I will definitely remove the phone from sight when I work at the computer (it helps it very much!)
every time he is divided from all networks and mail on the computer and keep open no more than 4 tabs at the same time,
wrote a list of pleasant and useful cases that I can do, instead of Internet surfing,
when you need to focus, turn on completely silent mode on the phone.

All this is certainly good, but too easy to stop controlling yourself and again return to the telephone and social slavery.

Get rid of dependence: deep motivation

Then I began to look for convincing arguments that would really help me deal with this addiction. Crystal clear "social networks devouring your time and a concentration" has long been not impressive. It is necessary for something more emotional. That's what I did it in me (and yes, I know, with all this you can argue :))

True steep people do not sit in Facebook

Directors of large companies, experienced surgeons, successful sellers and negotiators, talented scientists or violinists - everyone has their own, focused and rich life. There is no time to prove something or build relationships with a bunch of strangers.

We forget about the depth

Smooth surface of the phone and lightweight, relaxed slide. People seriously and by goodwill make reviews for bright colorful books like "Encyclopedia for Women" and are happy to celebrate that there is everything in it - how to take a loan, how to arrange a birthday to a child and how to make an excellent presentation for the company. Video with unpacking small glasses from China is gaining millions of views. During the working time, people of Ryano share "7 things that each leader should know" and "5 tips, how to advance through the career ladder."

We believe the stars with television screens and pop singers, almost paying attention to ingenious scientists, doctors, teachers.

They follow us

Just think about what you can learn about you, watching your search queries, Say, over the past year? And carefully analyzing the lists of your friends? Do you know that Facebook will forever retain not only remote posts and comments, but also editors and not published texts? Often we see what they want to show and form the opinion that they want from us. In the noise of votes, thoughts and events it becomes even more difficult to hear yourself and figure out what is really important.

I do not want to thicken the paint, as well as I do not plan to give up Google or Facebook, but here's what I really advise, so it's a small series "Black Mirror" - In each series, we see a new forecast for the development of our digital future.

Concentration? No, you did not hear!

Imagine: 10 years ago we could work on one task or study for 3-4 hours in a row and did not even think about checking Facebook!

Now we defeated Mrs. Mimnaya Employment. Here it is - full, with large red beads on the neck and the churlin in the eyes. She laughs from your insomnia and joyfully grabs, when he hears the next "I do not have time." Next to her - always her faithful helpers are multiple elections. The black flies they come nearby and enjoy right in the face - look at me! - choose me! - I am the most beautiful! - With me you will earn a lot of money!

Was you so that you just looked tape in instagram on the way to work and already feel somehow tired? Here it is - permanent switching from the patchwork to the patchwork in action.

Enough. I want to afford the luxury of one thing. To look into the eyes and never look into the screen, carefully read the long useful article, consider people in transport and try to guess their stories, without distracting work on articles ... work when you need to work and relax when it is time to rest.

Causes of disruption

Wow, how much useful arguments!

And yet - why am I breaking?

And everything seems so right, so good.

For myself, I found three reasons for breakdowns:

Fatigue

The tired man controls himself much worse and much less critical refers to someone else's opinion. It is easier to manipulate the tired person, and most of the actions he does not think about the machine. My simple recipe - get enough sleep. Let it become your main responsibility for the near future. Everything can be converted and change. The main thing is to get enough sleep ...

Reluctance to perform the task or ignorance how to perform it

When I have no idea what to write about, or how to approach the complex "elephant", then the handles are still drawn to the entertaining and pronterating bookmark on the computer. Unfortunately, another, more pleasant tool than tough control and awareness I did not invent. But hard control, by the way, works only when you are not tired. Therefore, once again - get enough sleep!

Boredom

If the task is interesting, and I know for sure what to do, then there is no time for boredom or distraction. If the thought came into a dead end or the work does not make sense, then I use any opportunity to distract. The decision is not so simple, but it is - as little boredom as possible. If you don't get anywhere from subjectively useless work, I arrange the competition with myself or try to meet at a predetermined time.

Instead of output

We very quickly forget. Our body is so accustomed to feel tired, which forgets how she lived before. Every year we are increasingly distracted and more and more forget that earlier, without any problems, we could work on one task. It seems to us that the permanent switching of attention is the norm. But is it? What is the point of waking up early if you spend a whole hour to watch Instagram? Is it really a dream life? ..
