Her mother says: “She cares only about the conversations she carries on with people from all over the world without caring about her grades or her friends in real life”.

The Internet access in American households increases, that’s why the number of teenagers who spend a long time of their lives online, has increased too. Psychologists say: “Look out! An increasing number of teens is going into a new form of addiction”. In an interview Kate declared: “I'm destroying my future and I am becoming isolated from the society,” “I failed English last year... I didn’t care about my studies but at least, I feel free. In fact, I can talk to others about any topic without being afraid of the consequences”.
