However, his parents are busy at work, and his communication is very little, often one at home, free and easy, no one to control him, do what you want to do what you want to do. After attending junior high school parents bought a computer, Internet access, then began to surf the Internet at home, playing games, often late, gradually become less socialized with classmates, talk less, all day long soak in the Internet, grades fell. Later, he developed to no longer study, began to absenteeism, junior high school can not graduate. Zhang Yi’s mother was very anxious, she began to count her child, urging him to study hard. Unexpectedly, the previously obedient child contradicted herself and the conflict became more and more serious. She sought help from the teachers at Zhang Yi’s school, but to no avail. Zhang Yi finally took a break from school and stayed home, often on the Internet cafes, sometimes three or five days do not come home. Zhang Yi’s books can not continue to read, stay at home all day, surfing the Internet, playing games to become the only pass time, he can put the New Year’s profit of more than 10,000 yuan, but also stole the parents 15,000 yuan for the purchase of the game’s virtual weapons, his parents know that after the money to do what he said he said it was lent to is a friend he met on the Internet. Now Zhang Yi wants to change this life, but he fell too deep in the game, in addition to the computer and the game, he almost no other life content. He told his parents about his idea, and of course his parents, who were worried about his future, were overjoyed. However, his parents felt that he was very childish and could not socialize with others, and they were both happy and worried about his request. Do not play games, Zhang Yi wants to do business, but do not want to take care of business with his parents, so he asked his parents for money to do the capital. At first, his parents did not give it to him because they thought he was inexperienced, and then they went to consult a psychiatrist together. With the help of the psychiatrist, his parents finally gave part of the money, and so he started his new life, carrying out his own business, making plans for his future work, and Zhang Yi’s waking up, eating, and sleeping time began to be regular. But the good times are not long, recently Zhang Yi’s business is difficult to maintain, business is almost close to “bankruptcy”, a little depressed Zhang Yi and began to play games on the Internet. “I do not know what to do now, online games and successful business seems to have become his two choices. Of course I want him to leave the game, but want to make the business successful is not so easy, his ability and experience and can not, he refused to work in our own company, alas! It’s so hard to be a parent.” Zhang Yi’s parents are also in a state of confusion. Zhang Yi as a secondary school students are still immature in physical and mental development, lack of self-control in the face of the virtual world, once the Internet is often likely to be online and the endless stream of new games, new technologies and new information “net”. Their cognitive ability is limited, the face of online novelty, exciting information is very vulnerable to its temptation. “Children of this age have a strong sense of self. Everyone is equal on the Internet, and under the protection of anonymity, they can speak freely without fear of censorship or punishment, and the newer, stranger, and more unique their views are, the greater the reaction and the more response they will get.” The Internet has become the best platform for middle school students to express themselves in their minds. Lack of emotional communication in life, parents usually lack of care and control, until they find their addiction to the Internet, affecting their studies, it is too late, and it is difficult to come back to study well again. In today’s work and life pressure, their parents are very likely to be busy with work and livelihood and ignore the emotional communication with their children. Then secondary school students who lack emotional communication in real life will look for a group to fall back on in the Internet and become obsessed with the interactive life on the Internet. In the educational environment, under the general environment of the electronic information age, computers and the Internet have become an indispensable learning tool for young people, but secondary school students who lack effective guidance treat computers and the Internet more as a kind of entertainment tool. Secondary school students are under greater pressure to learn, and often suffer setbacks in their studies, but they do not have the understanding of their families, teachers and classmates. In order to vent their bitterness and escape the reality they do not want to face, they often seek comfort, excitement and happiness on the Internet. Therefore, as parents should be alert to your child’s learning and emotional situation as early as possible, or it will be too late.
