the data gathered, we found out that there are many teenagers who got addicted to computers. And one of the reasons why they play so much with computers is that they want to play with their friends because in these times teenagers compete through internet connections or even high-tech gadgets that for them this competition is easier than physical competitions like basketball. Teenagers nowadays want life more comfortable and easier to live.

RECOMMENDATIONS

For the teenagers who got addicted to computer that they must find time to realize what they are really doing and reflect to what effects they may get it they continue playing computer.

We researcher give more information about their doing to let them know about the effects and to let them stop what they are doing right now. For the future researchers that they may find the most accurate answer to help our co-teenagers to leave their bad habits. And also to the future researchers that they will put this research in their heart not just for requirement but also they must also put it mind that we do this research for the other teenagers will be guided.
