Spanish kids suffer from phone addiction…

...and so do I, but these kids had to be treated in a mental health clinic (sounds like something that I need, and perhaps the readers of this blog as well!)
My aunties, mother and rest of my family tell me to get rid of my phone and focus on my studies. Something I never listen to, but I manage to control and divide my working time. Something these two kids didn't manage to do and it ruined their school marks.
"They both showed disturbed behaviour and this exhibited itself in failure at school. They both had serious difficulties leading normal lives," said Dr Maite Utges, from the Child and Youth Mental Health Centre, while referring to the 12 and 13 year-olds. Both boys owned the devices for 18 months, and in that time period they became emotionally affected, irritable, withdrawn and antisocial, according to the report. I don't really understand how they became antisocial, after all what was the phone used for???
