    The latest addiction to trap thousands of people is the Internet, which has been blamed

    for broken relationships, job losses, financial ruin, and even suicide. Psychologists
    now recognize Internet Addiction Syndrome (IAS) as a new illness that could cause
    serious problems and ruin many lives.

    IAS is similar to other problems like gambling, smoking and drinking: addicts have
    dreams about the Internet; they need to use it first thing in the morning; they lie to
    their parents and partners about how much time they spent online; they wish they
    could cut down, but are unable to do so. A recent study found that many users spend
    up to 40 hours a week on the Internet. Some of the addicts are teenagers who are
    already hooked on computer games and who find it very difficult to resist the games
    on the Internet.

    Family

    We first learn about loving and caring relationships from our families. Family is
    defined as a

    domestic group of people with some kinship - whether through blood, marriage, or
    adoption.

    Ideally, each child is nurtured, respected, and grows up to care for others and
    develop strong and

    healthy relationships. This does not mean that it is always easy to make and keep
    friends; it just means

    that we share the goal of having strong relationships.

    “Family” includes your parents and siblings, as well as relatives who you may not
    interact with

    every day, such as your cousins, aunts, uncles, grand-parents, and stepparents.

    relationships with your

    family members is both important and difficult.

    It is never too late to begin the process of improving family relationships - even if
    they are already

    of good quality. You can step back and assess the relationship, it is often hard to do
    this with your family.

    arises, it may seem

    impossible to handle.

    Remember that communication is key to resolving conflicts. While it may seem


    that your siblings sometimes annoy you, they are also there to communicate. Use
    your family’s presence to your advantage - communicate with each other, develop
    your relationships, and build trust and respect.
