Some people think that excessive use of smart phones badly affects teenagers’ literacy skills. Do you agree or disagree?

It is argued by a few individuals that extreme

usage

of mobile phones has detrimental effects on adolescent’s education. I completely agree with

this

statement.

This

essay will explain 2 fundamental reasons to illustrate how addiction to mobiles is causing a damaging effect on young children's academic scores.

Firstly

, excess

usage

of cell phone is causing physical

health

problems, and thereby, affecting children’s academic performance.

Although

youngsters are cautioned by elders, about the negative ramifications produced by

this

gadget, children are still desperate to use them as they enjoy playing games and accessing social media.

Moreover

, many children are sacrificing sleep in order to spend more time with the gadget.

As a result

, youngsters are prone to various

health

problems

such

as loss of eye visibility, fatigue, obesity, etc. Thereby, they are unable to concentrate on academics and

hence

are failing to achieve viable scores. In a recent survey conducted by BBC among young children, it was found that only 50% of students who use mobile frequently were able to achieve average pass marks.

On the other hand

, 90% of students who do not consume mobile phone are able to achieve the same. Another major concern is that,

this

is

also

resulting in mental

health

issues and thereby indirectly impacting student’s scores. Mobile games these days promote violence and children are certainly attracted to

such

games due to the thrill that they provide.

However

,

this

results in adverse effects on child’s psychological

health

as the child is constantly exposed to

such

fierce environment.

Although

the youngster’s play these games virtually, it is due to human psychology that they get impacted in their daily life due to the illusions that are formed in the brain.

For instance

, recent news reported that, 1929 teenager’s committed suicide globally as they were deeply involved in playing a game called Pub-G.

Also

, high performing students who got gradually addicted to

this

game have failed in the majority of subjects. In conclusion, repeated

usage

of mobile device renders bad academic scores as students using

this

gadget get physically and mentally sick.

Hence

, mobile

usage

should be limited.
