Also, many kids stay sleep deprived as they keep texting till late night. The problem does not however stop there. The internet is full of all kinds of bad things and with a smartphone, kids get an easy access to all that. Kids are often found sharing and talking about adult content over SMS chats. Cyber bullying has also become a very big issue. Something needs to be done about all this, and quickly.
Many parents realize how bad it is for their kids to spend so much time with phones. Some of them even try to take the matter into their own hands.
