In many parts of the world, children and teenagers are spending more and more of their time indoors. What do you think are the causes of this problem? What measures could best be taken to solve it?

During the ages , in many parts of the world, the preferences of how to spend some free

time

, have changed. Now

children

and teenagers tend to prefer to spend their

time

indoors

instead

of many other options. Through the next paragraphs  I will discuss my opinion and propose some measures to solve

this

issue. In my opinion, I think that the main

cause

to

this

problem are social media. As we all know, the use of these has increased enormously throughout the years: It's incredible how not only teenagers, but even

children

, tend to spend an uncountable

time

on their electronic devices, just to check social media,

such

as: Tik tok, instagram ,snapchat. Some researches have shown that

while

using them you're not concious of the

time

passing by, and you get addicted to them more and more every

time

you sail on them. They

cause

the same chemical effects on your brain as drugs do. Another

cause

can be video games. Nowadays young generations seem to enjoy more playing with video games

instead

of having a talk with a friend or practice some sport. That can increase the stress level of young people.

On the other hand

, I think that unfortunately there aren't many solutions to

this

global problem. Parents should limit the

time

spent on Ipad or Tv on

children

and teach them how to enjoy playing with friends outside, breath some fresh air, and most importantly get rid of the stress and frustrating things that lay on our shoulders by playing some sport. On teenagers things are more complicated, as parents don't have a strong power on their

children

once they grow up. Probably, some "social media education" at school should be practiced, to let young people be aware of the big risks electronic devices can

cause

on your mental health.

Overall

, I think that

this

is a big issue that must be solved, and probably

also

governments should discuss some measures, as

this

can increase other issues that are correlated to

this

.
