Abstract

The emergence and development of the internet have had an increasingly significant impact on human society. In today's information age, adolescents are known as the "online generation," and the internet has had a substantial effect on them. Faced with a concerning situation regarding adolescents' internet usage, this paper employs methods such as physical health measurements and surveys to study adolescents in Xinjiang, to explore the causes of their internet addiction and analyze the harm that internet addiction poses to the physical health of adolescents. By leveraging the situation, a holistic education system involving families, schools, and society is proposed to prevent and treat adolescent internet addiction.
