Cyber Wellness

Teens in Singapore spend a lot of time on the internet. As the article says, teenagers spend an average of about 17.2 hours each week on the internet.

They know a lot about the internet but when it comes to cyber awareness, they lack knowledge. For example, teens know stuff about gaming and surfing the web for sources. They also know how to download audio tracks and movies illegally from the internet but they do not know the consequences if caught. This shows us that they are not aware of what is safe and what is not. Some may be aware of the dangers but may chose to avoid them. By not equipping them with cyber knowledge they are just causing harm to themselves and their well-being on the internet.Many other teens also lack knowledge on stuff like copyright acts and so on. This just increases the risk of Singaporeans teens being cyber bullied easily.

In conclusion, I feel that teens in Singapore should put in some effort to understand the risks of being on the internet and what can happen to them without their knowledge. By being more aware about internet, they can reduce the probability of themselves being attacked on the internet.
