Oh, maybe I have made a mistake.&nbsp; People do go to sleep with their phones beside them.&nbsp; Some teenagers would like to follow others\u2019 actions in order to connect to others.&nbsp; They always stay up late, chatting or playing online video games with their friends.&nbsp; Some will mindlessly surf the internet to follow the latest trends.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\u2018I don\u2019t want to be left behind!\u2019&nbsp; This is what most teenagers think.&nbsp; Therefore, as most teenagers go online late at night, they feel under pressure to stay online instead of going to bed.&nbsp; However, this is very unhealthy for teens to sacrifice their sleep for online activities.&nbsp; Not only will they lack the energy to learn, but they will also suffer from different health issues.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>If you are reading this sharing and facing the same problem, please sleep earlier and stay energised.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<!-- wp:paragraph --><p>You are participating in a public exhibition about teenagers and modern technology.
