IS THE INTERNET GOOD OR BAD FOR YOUNG PEOPLE?
It is now easier than ever to access the Internet, whether you are using a computer,
phone or tablet. There is no doubt that many young people are spending more and more
time online, with both positive and negative consequences.
One advantage of the Internet is that young people can do research for their schoolwork
and homework. This often helps teenagers to widen their knowledge and improve their
grades. Another positive aspect of the Internet is that people can practise foreign

languages by chatting to friends in other countries. This is also a good way of keeping
in touch with friends and family around the world.
On the other hand, there are also negative consequences. Some young people become
addicted to online gaming and this can mean that they waste too much time playing
these games. This can have a negative effect on their schoolwork, the amount of
exercise they do and their social lives. In addition, excessive Internet use can mean
that some young people hardly talk to their families because they are always on the
computer.
To sum up, spending time on the Internet can have a negative impact on young people,
but it also has many advantages. Personally, I think the Internet is an incredible tool and
the benefits of Internet outweigh the dangers. However, we should be careful and not
use the Internet excessively.
