The prolonged stay at home due to the epidemic has changed the lives of school children. Some institutions have conducted a questionnaire survey on online classes and the habits of young people playing computer games. The results found that more than half of the teenagers interviewed admitted that after the school launched online classes, they spent more time playing computer games. The larger the number, the higher the proportion. When most people face the learning disabilities of online lessons and the decline in social skills, they regard the Internet as an analgesic. The deeper and deeper, the more serious the conflict with their parents, and the police must be called for mediation. The director of a counselling center suggested that the government allocate more resources and increase manpower to take out cases for counseling as soon as possible, so as to provide appropriate services to parents and children.
The higher the grade, the more time you spend playing computer games
The Hong Kong Christian Service interviewed more than 2,020 primary and secondary school students and 1,100 students’ parents from February to March this year to learn about teenagers’ playing behaviors under the influence of the epidemic and the pressure on their parents. As a result, 56% of the interviewed students admitted to the epidemic During this period, more time was spent playing computer games, and the higher the grade, the more common the situation was. The highest proportion was high school students. As many as 68% of the interviewees admitted that they spent more time playing computer games. The situation is worthy of attention.
Among the students interviewed who admitted that they spent too much time on the computer, 70% claimed that in order to reduce stress, 70% felt that life was boring and kicked the computer, and 60% believed that they had excellent performance in the computer. At the same time, the students During the epidemic, it is necessary to replace face-to-face lectures with online classes. Fifty-four people claim to be able to focus on online classes, but as many as 63 to 71% of the teenagers interviewed have no confidence in their academic performance and coping with exams, and even feel pressured. .
In addition, the survey interviewed 1,100 parents of students at the same time. Sixty-four of the respondents felt pressure because their women had more time to play. Although sixty percent understood the reason behind their children’s play, 58% of them disagreed. The machine can be used for decompression or as a tool to escape the unhappiness of real life.
Parents are worried that online classes and dedicated computer games cannot keep up with their learning progress
Ms. Chen said that her 16-year-old son is studying electrical engineering-related courses in a youth school. Since the school implemented online classes last year, her son’s computer was used until 10 pm and extended to two or three in the morning. She was not attentive. Sometimes she was in class while pressing her mobile phone in the audience, worrying that his grades would be affected. She saw that her son's emotions were affected by the outcome of the game and he was extremely "disgusted", so she was kind to persuade him when his mood improved a bit. "Why bother?" Later, she succeeded in persuading her son to "transfer" to other more relaxing games, and the relationship between mother and child was improved. She believed that the reason for success was that she chose to believe that her son's play would not affect the Internet. Only with class and academic performance can the two parties further establish a relationship of mutual trust.
Another student, Eric, who is studying for the Diploma in Event Operations, explained that during the online class, the teacher would generally give students more time to do homework, sometimes as long as more than an hour. When he finished early, he would turn on his mobile phone to browse the social network. On platforms or playing games, there is a chance that parents will be mistaken by parents for being inattentive in class, leading to misunderstandings.
Deng Zhenyu, director of the Internet Addiction Counseling Center, analyzed the above figures to reflect that teenagers’ addiction to playing games is only a sign. Cases encountered by frontline social workers found that teenagers encountered learning difficulties in online classes, and even under the influence of the epidemic, communication with classmates and friends was reduced, and there was a need With the help of other ways to vent their emotions, some of them will be more involved in the online viewing of painkillers, temporarily pulling out the problems that they have to face in reality.
Deng Zhenyu, director of the Internet Addiction Counseling Center, pointed out that some Secondary One girls were not suitable for the progress of entering secondary school, and they became more serious when they implemented online classes, and eventually turned into skipping classes. Parents asked the center for help.

However, some parents may not be able to fully understand the needs behind their children's phone calls, and sometimes use direct and brutal methods to terminate, such as receiving mobile phones, unplugging the LAN cable or turning off Wi-Fi as punishment. In the end, parents and children quarrel first and then use force, and eventually they will be alarmed. Only when police officers arrive at the scene to mediate, and the case is handed over to the center for counselling, can the relationship between the two be gradually eased.
Deng also quoted the center’s past data on cases received for help, stating that there are more than 100 cases each year, with an average of more than 10 cases per month. There has been no significant increase since the epidemic, but since March and April this year, the proportion of face-to-face lectures in schools has increased. By half or two-thirds, the number of help-seeking cases has more than doubled. The main reason is that parents are worried that their children will not be able to keep up with the progress of their children when they switch from online classes to physical classes. There is a case showing that a Secondary One female student has learning difficulties after entering secondary school. After switching to online classes, they directly owed homework, and after returning to physical classes, they simply missed school and skipped school. This reflects the pressure of students facing online classes under the epidemic. It is recommended that the government increase resources to non-governmental organizations that provide counseling services and allocate manpower for home visits and home visits. Screen cases and provide psychological or activity support to the victim as early as possible.
