This would be my opinion on the article on “Singaporean youths still lacking in cyber wellness”. Although teenagers in Singapore spend an average of 17.2 hours per week online, they still lack of knowledge on Cyber Wellness. Research shows that students use internet as a media to express themselves and most of the times for chatting.
There is a small minority who mentioned that they feel unwell when they are offline. This could lead to teenagers having unhealthy life if they continue to spend their time in front of their computer. Furthermore, if they continue to be unaware of Cyber Wellness, they might unconsciously do some illegal things in the future via internet as majority of them are not aware of the copyright issues.
This shows their immaturity on knowing the Cyber Wellness. Parents can help their children to be more aware of Cyber Wellness by learning how to use internet and Internet filter to check the websites visited by their children. They should also show more concern to what their children are doing online. It would be even better if parents spend more time with their children so to decrease their online time and also to educate them on Cyber Wellness.
