Internet Addiction - More Powerful Than Drugs

Internet Addiction

Young people are spending much more time infront of the computer screen, than outside.

Younsters prefer to stay at home and browse the Internet. They don't anymore like to go out and take a walk in the park or play some sport.

Is Internet becoming more powerful addiction than the drugs?

Look at the answers in the article - they're based on statistical researches and young people's opinion.

The Effects of Internet Addiction

From 2002 until today the number of young people, using drug and tobacco products is reducing, the expense of increasing addiction to the Internet and electronic games, a survey of Brussels Free University. 

For the past nine years, declining by six per cent of young people who smoke every day - from 18,7 percent to 12,7 percent. In 2002, eight out of every 100 youths said they smoked marijuana at least once a week and recently gave a similar response to 4,9 per cent of respondents. When ecstasy users also experience a change - from 5,3% nine years ago to 2,7 percent last year. 

According to sociologist Damien Fravres, these data can be explained by increased parental control over young people who have come out less at night. So basically they are spending more time in their rooms, sitting at the computer. The survey reported that while in 2002 only seven percent of young people said they spend at least four hours daily in front of the computer, the latest data show an increase of nearly double those responses - 13%. 

The survey was conducted among 12 000 young people aged between 12 and 20 years.

Are We Being Held in Chains by the Internet?

Yes, I think that computers and Internet are very useful. But we should not overdo anything.

It's true that most of the youths are spending they time in Internet social network, than going outside with friends and talk face to face.

7 Ways To Look Younger Using Makeup

Do you want to discover the fountain of youth? No, I don't talk about plastic surgeries. Follow these easy steps that will make you look younger! The only thing that you need is makeup.

1. Don't use powder

As we age, we lose the natural glow of the skin. Applying powder can make the skin too matte or dull, it can even make it look cakey. Instead of face powder you can use liquid foundations or tinted moisturizers, they won't make your skin too matte, because they allow the skin to shine through.

2. Use creamy pink blush

Powder blush can also dull the skin, applying cream blush gives a nice glow to the cheeks. The pink color adds a nice flush to the cheeks that gives fresh and youthful appearance. 

3. Conceal dark circles

Weather it's the age or the lack of sleep that's giving you dark circles under your eyes, hiding them with a concealer will immediately make you look fresher. The trick is to apply a peach or coral concealer first, that will counteract the blueness of the dark shadows. Secondly, applying as a top layer a concealer that is one shade lighter than your skin, that will brighten the area and will give you a nice youthful look.

4. Apply mascara

Curling your lashes and then applying a mascara will make your eyes look big and fresh. Making your eyes appear larger and more open is a great way to make you look younger. The best way to acomplish that - curl your lashes and apply 1-2 coats of mascara.

5. Wing your liner

Getting that droopiness to the eyelids is another change that happens as we age, but bringing your eyeliner up and out will help lift the eyes. Take a bent liner brush and some gel liner, apply along the upper lashline and wing it up on the outer edge of the eyes.

6. Wear plumping lipgloss

Making the lips look full and glossy is another way to look young and green, plus the lipgloss makes the lips look very sexy and kissable. Avoid dark shades, because that can make the lips look smaller. 

7. Use light shimmer shadow

Applying a light colored shimmery shadow near the tear duct and just under the brows will brighten your eyes and make you look more awake. The key is to not wear shimmery shadow all over the eyes. You should apply it just near the tear duct and under the brows.

Lets not forget that the real thing that makes us look youthful, healthy and fresh is the way we threat our selves. Eat healthy food and exercise, thats the key to youth.
