1. Introduction

LIGHT is a youth based organization that was founded by a group of senior high school
students of Sta. Catalina National High School in Candelaria, Quezon. In the past few decades, they
successfully create events which might give awarenesses to a particular problem of a teenager
nowadays. Subsequently, they had also conducted many counseling to help teenagers to deal with the
period of adolescent. Whereas, LIGHT aims to shape the mind of youth to value their peers and to
treasure the society in which they live in. As we believe that this will lead to a wealthy generation in the
future.

and mental health. As according to Oberlin College of Computer Science, aside from being dependent on
the Internet, addicts may develop technostress wherein they internalize how a computer works, such as
accelerated time and perfect results. It can also cause social withdrawal, feeling more at ease interacting
with people online rather than in person. Whereas, this statistic is actually alarming since this is going to
be the image of our future generation. Nevertheless, a symposium for a cost would work to guide
teenagers to cope up with their addiction to computer. Therefore, this project needs to be addressed as
soon as possible in order to bust up this current problem of our society which will be more alarming if
not terminated earlier.
