Teenagers are often faced with many problems. One of the problems is that they don't know how to manage their time well. As students, they should know their main task is studying, but it seems hard for them to keep a balance between study and play.
Li Lin, a mother in her forties from Liaoning Province, was greatly worried about her 14-year-old son. Ms Li said, "During the winter holiday, my son spent more than four hours each day playing online games, watching videos and talking with friends on the phone."
According to Ms Li, she was strict with her son and didn't buy him a mobile phone. She hoped that he could pay attention to his study. However, after playing games on Ms Li's phone several times, her son has been addicted to(沉迷于) it.
In fact, many teenagers of his age have this problem. It's reported by the China Internet Network Information Centre that the number of the internet users in China is increasing and that many among them are teenagers. Besides, the average(平均的) time they spent is also growing.
To solve the problem, officials have made some rules. Online game providers mustn't provide services(服务) for users younger than 18 between 10 p. m. and 8 a. m. , and their paid online services mustn't be open to users younger than 8. It's hoped that these rules can really work and help reduce the harm of online games to teenagers.
