Pornography
has become one of the most seductive drugs among the teenagers these days.
Teenagers who are just barely at their teens are more exposed to sexually
explicit content with the rise of free sexually explicit materials on the net
these days. More users who watch pornography on net are more vulnerable to
depression.
Charlie,
11 year old boy who used to surf sexually explicit sites regularly was the
latest victim of darks side of it. Cheerful, friendly a junior school kid who
was good at school, popular with his classmate who loved football and also
plays for school team was completely changed after he regularly visited porn
site. He was moody, depressed, withdrawn. Moreover, he didn’t used to sleep at
night, lost his appetite; his eyes looked like hollow. He was completely
transformed." I hate myself”, “Charlie is shit" this is what he used
to write in his books, newspaper even in his bedroom furniture. He used to draw
obscene cartoons with vulgar speech bubbles. After his odd and changed
behavior, his mother took him to the doctors but doctor sent him home stating
that he is physically well. Regarding Charlie odd behavior His mother thought
it was all because of the family issue at home as she and her husband were
going through some rough times.
Fortunately,
one night his mother caught him red handed watching sexually explicit content
on net. As she checked his laptop, it was all full of sexual content where a
couple were having sex.11 year old boy like Charlie who has no access to credit
card to view porn had been engaged in porn site weeks after weeks which has
become reality among most of the teenagers today. Sadly after Charlie’s mom
found out that her son has become addicted to porn, she along with her husband
console their son that such porn related content was wrong and they love him
very much still and would do anything to make him better and normal 11 year old
boy again. They took his computer and even Charlie was glad to get rid of it.
He began to continue his normal life again and this time without porn. He was
given counseling on the NHS.Now,3 years after this Charlie is smiling like he
used to and his parents are glad that they were successful in getting their old
cheerful boy back.
