Causes

After a very very long hiatus mostly attributed to the imbalancedness of secondary four life, I am here just to play my little part again! Here is a list of some noteworthy causes dedicated to computer addiction and youth activities, be it local or otherwise:

-TOUCH Youth Centre: Cyber-Wellness & Sports and PLanetCRuSH (http://touch.org.sg)
-Computer Addiction Services(http://www.computeraddiction.com/)
-The Psychiatric Times(and this article: http://www.psychiatrictimes.com/p980852.html)
-Community Addiction Management Programme Singapore(www.camp.org.sg)

In addition, since parents play such an important part, parents can also join parental communities and networks where they will be more deeply introduced to their children's psychology and reasons for addiction.

By the way, go google the poem "Addiction" by Kerry Bowden, it is very relevant.

Let's nullify off the Parliament's worry of the rising number of computer addicts, by at least slowing the abovementioned rising. Goodnight!
