Youth exposure to unhealthy content affects values, what about internal consumption and depression?

You can ask questions on the platform at age 14. I want to start by praising your bravery.

Your question is straightforward. I know you probably clicked on unhealthy content by mistake while surfing the Internet, which has opened the door to a new world. You know that watching that content is bad for you and will affect your values, but you can't seem to stop yourself from watching it.

This conflict drains you, makes you unable to resist, and suppresses you, mixed with negative emotions such as self-blame, guilt, and helplessness.

Let me give you a warm hug first.

The information on the Internet is mixed, and it is no surprise that people are drawn to it. It's not just you; most people lack strong resistance.

This is particularly relevant for you, given your age.

You are curious about the world and eager to explore it.

The information you see now is not the whole world. The world is big, and there are many more interesting places waiting for you to explore.

You need to set your sights further afield and get to know the world. Don't stick to these small parts.

The simplest advice is to put down your phone and computer, read a book, go outdoors, and do other things that make you feel good. This will help you to fill your time and spirit with new things.

Congratulations! I wish you the best of luck in everything you do.

Dear questioner, I am Duoduo Lian. I am here to support you.

First of all, congratulations. You are only 14 years old, and you have the courage to ask for help from a professional platform when you encounter difficulties. This is not only courage, but also wisdom. Tell me how you have faced conflicts and overcome dark days in recent years, with the support of your parents or friends.

At the age of 8, you clicked on unhealthy web pages, which had a negative impact on you. You searched for dark content, and you feel remorseful and distressed. You feel like a despicable person. The more remorseful you feel, the more motivated you are to improve. The motive is good, so don't pay too much attention to the results.

Many web pages are designed with temptations that even adults can't resist, let alone you, a minor. It's challenging for you to adjust to the situation gradually, but you're already doing an excellent job of accepting the current situation.

You think that watching unhealthy things makes you feel cheap. It doesn't. Not watching it doesn't mean you're noble. You agree? In fact, this is also a way to exercise your ability to resist temptation.

When you enter society, there will be many things that attract you: money, power, flowers, palm trees. All of these are life experiences. When you encounter difficulties, face them head on. Don't get lost in the flowers and applause. That is ability. Life is about experience, and you will get better and better.

Divert your attention and find things that interest you. These could be sports, chatting with classmates, actively participating in groups, discovering your talents, or loving what you do.

This experience allows you to explore yourself and improve yourself.

You've got this!

The individual in question demonstrates commendable qualities.

First, it is important to acknowledge your courage in seeking help. You are 14 years old, on the cusp of adulthood, and have begun to recognize the nuances of your own thoughts and actions. You have also identified the internal conflict that this behavior causes you. Your decision to seek assistance is commendable and a positive step towards addressing this issue.

What factors contributed to the reduction in the frequency of viewing such content? What internal conflicts were associated with viewing such content?

It is important not to hastily categorize oneself. This phenomenon is also a social issue. The content on the internet is highly diverse, with an unlimited audience. Different temptations attract different individuals. It is crucial to recognize that this behavior does not lead to happiness but rather results in self-reproach. This internal conflict causes significant distress.

It is recommended that you consider ways to reduce the frequency of viewing this content and identify alternative activities that you can engage in instead of thinking about viewing this content. Set yourself an achievable small goal. If you currently view it three times a day, is it possible to reduce it on this basis and allow yourself some time? If you find it difficult to refrain from viewing the content, explore other forms of distraction. Even if you have this thought, do not be overly critical of yourself.

When self-blame is experienced, it may be helpful to consider the attainment of small goals and the means of achieving them. Would this be a beneficial approach?

Dear Question Owner, I am a Heart Exploration coach, Jia Ao Bu Xun.

I have carefully read the problems and confusions you described on the platform. You stated that you are only 14 years old. During your formative years, you frequently accessed unhealthy web pages, which opened the door to a new world. Presently, you find that you are becoming increasingly extreme, even searching for those dark content. You experience intensifying internal conflict and perceive your actions as wrong and harmful. Despite controlling the frequency, you remain susceptible to unhealthy content. You are uncertain about the best course of action.

Your situation is indeed quite unique. It appears that you initially encountered the information on the website at an early age. During your childhood, driven by curiosity, you viewed those web pages that were not particularly beneficial to your well-being. Now, you find yourself unable to regulate your behavior. Fortunately, you have already recognized this issue, which is why you have sought assistance on this platform to gain insight into how you can better control your impulses and halt the mental deterioration.

Help you analyze and sort things out:

1. Attempt to relax.

Your problem is indeed unique. It is recommended that you first obtain sufficient rest and relaxation. In the event that the sensation of internal conflict is particularly intense, it is advised that you temporarily cease all activity and allow your mind and body to relax. This may be achieved through the listening to music with a relaxing effect, or through the performance of gentle yoga or meditation, which will enable you to temporarily withdraw from this emotion and cease its indulgence.

2. It is imperative not to allow oneself to remain isolated.

It is imperative that you engage in discourse with your friends and family members and divulge your sentiments and emotional state. It is essential that these individuals are dependable and willing to provide emotional sustenance. They can assist you in alleviating distress and anxiety, offering you solace and encouragement, and providing new perspectives and suggestions. It is crucial that you do not endure this anguish and distress in solitude. It is vital that you seek out a source of support and guidance to assist you in navigating this challenging period. Remaining isolated will only exacerbate your condition.

3. It is advisable to seek the assistance of a qualified professional.

In the event that the aforementioned feelings persist for an extended period, the anxiety persists without respite, or it has a considerable impact on one's daily life, it is recommended that one seek professional assistance and consult with a psychologist or counselor. These professionals can provide support and guidance to assist in the management of these negative emotions, facilitate the swift navigation out of the emotional turmoil, offer spiritual support and solace, and assist in the re-establishment of one's beliefs and values.

4. Distraction

Another method is to temporarily disengage from the situation and direct one's attention toward other interests, such as reading, watching movies, exercising, traveling, and so forth. This can help to alleviate the distress associated with pain and anxiety, provide distraction from negative emotions, and prevent the onset of emotional distress.

It is my hope that this response will prove beneficial to you. Should you require further communication, the question owner may contact me via my personal homepage, select the Heart Exploration service, and engage in one-on-one communication. Best regards,

Dear Question Asker, I am pleased to be able to answer your question.

Your ability to seek help online at the age of 14 is commendable and demonstrates courage.

At the age of fourteen, the onset of puberty is indicated by the onset of sexual urges and experimentation.

Furthermore, you may perceive your preferences to be increasingly unconventional. On the one hand, you may experience feelings of remorse and guilt. On the other hand, you may feel compelled to continue engaging in these behaviors.

It is a recurring pattern. You are caught in a downward spiral.

First and foremost, it is essential to allow yourself to relax and release any feelings of guilt or self-blame.

It is a natural part of puberty for any child to experience sexual arousal, and many will relieve sexual tension through masturbation.

It is a natural physiological phenomenon. There is no reason for shame, and it is not in conflict with morality.

It is a physiological fact that masturbation can relieve sexual tension and is beneficial to physical and mental health.

Secondly, masturbation is a normal physiological need. However, it must be practised in a reasonable manner. The objective is to achieve a state of mental happiness and physical relaxation. If self-discipline is not exercised and sexual stimulation is sought frequently, it will result in physical depletion and exhaustion, which is detrimental to the body. It is essential to eliminate behaviours that harm the body.

If you find yourself dependent on masturbation, it is important to identify ways to restrain yourself. It is important to note that becoming dependent on masturbation is not a significant issue and should not be a cause for concern. It does not harm others or violate any moral standards.

It has a detrimental impact on one's physical well-being. By moderating the frequency of masturbation, we can also prioritize our health and wellness.

It is comparable to quitting smoking or drinking.

How can we reduce our dependence on masturbation? As previously stated, it is important to eliminate feelings of guilt and mental pressure in order to achieve this goal.

It is also important to be aware of your physical condition. There is a natural rhythm to human sexual desire. Apart from external factors, there is a regular process of sexual desire in our body: rising, building up, reaching its peak, and then subsiding. It is essential to understand this state of our body.

It is recommended that masturbation only be undertaken once the individual is fully aroused. It is advised that stimulation be avoided during the initial stages of arousal.

It is important to focus on the quality of masturbation. When your body is full of desire, it is advisable to masturbate in a safe, comfortable, and quiet environment.

During masturbation, it is important to focus on the sensations experienced rather than solely on the release of sexual tension. By controlling the process in real time, it is possible to achieve a more fulfilling experience.

It is advisable to avoid premature ejaculation. Finally, allow yourself to fully enjoy the pleasure that masturbation brings, while also releasing some of the sexual tension.

This process requires you to explore, and if you discover some positive experiences, they will also be beneficial for your future marital life. (Healthy masturbation will also teach you some valuable lessons, which is also a positive outcome).

Masturbation can be a pleasurable act that leads to feelings of spiritual happiness and physical relaxation. It is a beneficial physical experience.

It is also important to note that masturbation can be a positive and healthy practice.

Furthermore, it would be beneficial to consider whether you are experiencing any pressure from your family, school, or friends during this period of adolescence. When individuals face persistent pressure, they often seek an outlet for their stress. If you are facing other pressures, it would be advisable to identify ways to effectively address them. It is important to note that masturbation should not be used as a means of releasing and relieving pressure.

It would be beneficial for you to participate in more activities that are good for your physical and mental health. Some examples of such activities include running, watching movies, etc.

It is possible to effectively distract yourself from your excessive focus on masturbation. Allowing your excess energy to be released is an effective strategy.

In short, you are in a period of growth and development, and it is important to believe that you will overcome many of the challenges you are facing as you progress through life. The vast majority of people have experienced similar difficulties.

It is a common misconception that merely viewing inappropriate online content leads to an assumption that one's own behavior is similarly problematic. It is my hope that you can put this concern aside and embrace a positive outlook once more.

It is possible to regain a sense of happiness during the teenage years.

Hello, I hope my answer can be of some help to you.

It's important to understand why we're the way we are. Instead of blaming ourselves, we should accept ourselves, adjust our mindset, and satisfy our needs in a way that's good for our physical and mental health. I'm confident you'll grow up healthy.

My advice to you is:

It's important to understand and accept yourself. What you may consider "unhealthy content" is likely satisfying your normal needs.

It's important to remember that sexual desire is a normal physiological need for humans. It's an instinct, and there's nothing shameful or base about it. As we reach a certain age, we'll experience sexual urges. However, because we're still young, we're not allowed to have sex. First, because we can't be responsible for the consequences of our sexual behavior; second, because we haven't reached the legal age of marriage.

It's important to understand that we all have sexual needs and urges. Nobody is going to tell us how to solve these problems. You've found a way to satisfy your sexual needs through exploration.

Instead of beating ourselves up, we need to understand and accept ourselves. We should see this as a normal physiological need that everyone has. As long as we don't break the law and don't harm others or ourselves in the process, there's no problem.

2. Try to find more reasonable ways to satisfy your needs.

We can enrich our lives and achieve inner harmony by getting popular science knowledge and content through formal channels.

For instance, we can take part in more group activities, join sports teams, and engage in active sports and exercises. These can all stimulate the secretion of dopamine in our brains, giving us a sense of pleasure. The same principle applies to sexual stimulation, and the final pleasure is also due to the large amount of dopamine secreted in the brain. When you do something you like and can immerse yourself in it, you're in a state of flow (also known as the peak experience), which is a pleasant feeling similar to an orgasm. You can create more time and experiences like this for yourself.

As you probably know, it's normal for teenagers to have sexual urges and masturbate. If you can't control it, masturbating is fine to satisfy your immediate sexual needs. It won't harm anyone, and it's a quick way to relieve sexual urges. There's no need to suppress or blame yourself. Just remember to maintain a good sense of proportion and control the frequency. This won't affect your subsequent intimate and marital relationships.

Please feel free to refer to this information as needed. Best regards,

Happy New Year! I'm June Lai Feng.

From what you've told me, it's clear you have a strong sense of self-awareness, which is a great first step towards improvement. Everyone's psychology and motives are unique, so it's important to remember that watching unhealthy content doesn't necessarily mean you have a problem or a bad psychology. You're at the right age for puberty, so it's totally normal to be curious about new things and the unknown.

First, it's totally normal for kids to be curious about new things and the unknown. Sometimes, this can lead to an interest in unhealthy content that they want to explore and understand. Some unhealthy content may be related to the exploration of gender identity, sexual orientation, or self-image. Peers around them may be interested in unhealthy content, and in order to fit in with the group or to meet social needs, they may be influenced to watch it.

Second, during adolescence, you may crave excitement and adventure, and unhealthy content may provide a sense of temporary excitement and stimulation. Or you may feel emotionally confused or lost, and watch unhealthy content to find some kind of satisfaction or escape from reality.

It's also possible that some teens might turn to unhealthy content as a way to cope with anxiety, depression, or boredom when they're facing negative emotions.

It's so important to be aware of the potential harm of unhealthy content. Unfortunately, there is still a lack of sufficient awareness and understanding to fully assess the consequences of viewing such content.

It's so important to be aware that prolonged exposure to unhealthy content can have a variety of adverse effects on the physical and mental health of adolescents.

It's so important to be aware that prolonged exposure to unhealthy content, such as violence and pornography, can lead to anxiety, depression, and other emotional disorders in adolescents. This kind of content can also distort their perceptions of sex, violence, and interpersonal relationships, which can affect their psychological development.

It's so important to be aware that exposure to violence, pornography, etc. can sometimes lead to confusion about moral standards and codes of conduct. This can then affect their moral judgment and decision-making.

It's important to be aware that if adolescents are exposed to unhealthy content, they may be more likely to imitate the behaviors they see, such as violent behavior and unsafe sex. Unfortunately, this can lead to legal problems or health risks.

It's so important to be aware that if we're exposed to a lot of indifferent and callous content, it can make it harder for us to understand and feel for the feelings of others. This can even reduce our levels of empathy!

It's so important to be aware that spending too much time in the virtual world and engaging with socialization models that aren't the healthiest can affect how well adolescents do in the real world when it comes to social skills and relationship-building.

It's so important to be aware that spending too much time on negative or provocative content can increase the risk of anxiety, depression, and other mental health problems among our young people.

It's so important to make sure our young people are getting the right kind of content! Watching too much of the wrong kind of content can really affect their motivation to learn and their grades.

It's so important to be aware that unhealthy content can sometimes encourage young people to copy unsafe or unhealthy lifestyles, such as smoking, drinking alcohol or using illicit drugs. We all know that these can be harmful to our physical health.

If we realize that we've watched some not-so-great content, don't fret! We can still make some positive changes.

First, it's important to recognize the negative impact that viewing unhealthy content may have on yourself. We're all human, and we all make mistakes! But it's so important to be aware of the need for self-regulation.

Second, when you come across any information, just ask yourself a few quick questions: Is this source reliable? What's the message or point they're trying to get across?

Is it biased or manipulative? If you're looking at news or social media posts, it's a great idea to check the facts with a few different sources. That way, you can be sure you're not spreading fake news!

Then, take a moment to think about why you're watching that unhealthy content. Have a little chat with yourself and find some healthier ways to satisfy your needs. Try to avoid exposure to unhealthy content again, and set some limits and rules, such as limiting the time spent using specific platforms or apps.

It's so important to make a conscious choice to engage with media content that is wholesome, inspiring, and educational. This is a great way to avoid the influence of vulgar, violent, or pornographic content. Instead, find wholesome, positive information and content, such as inspirational books and educational videos, to replace unhealthy content.

It's so important to engage in beneficial hobbies like sports, reading, painting, and more! These activities can really help to distract you and cultivate an active lifestyle.

And finally, you can gradually cultivate self-discipline and better control of your actions and choices through self-discipline and self-management.

You can gradually break free from the influence of unhealthy content and cultivate healthy mindsets and habits through positive actions and changes in awareness. Protect yourself from the influence of unhealthy content and promote your mental and physical health.

I love you, world! And I really hope my story can help you in some way. Have a lovely day!

Hello! I'm glad you reached out for help. I hope my sharing helps.

When you know you're watching unhealthy content, you can change your behavior to avoid harm.

To change, you have to accept. Accept that you sometimes want to watch these things. They are part of you, even if you don't like them.

Everyone has good and evil inside them. When we know this, we can accept the evil part of ourselves and try to change it.

You feel shame and self-reproach when you watch these things. You can't accept this part of yourself. You think it's terrible and evil. What do you think?

If you dwell on shame, you won't have the strength to seek change. You'll miss out on ways to express your true self, like sports, boxing, painting, etc. These activities allow you to express yourself and feel accomplished.

I'm Lily, the listener at the Q&A Center. Love you, world.

Hello! I can see that when you were 8 years old, you accidentally entered an unhealthy website, which led to an interest in dark content. Despite controlling the frequency of searches, you still feel guilty and inferior. But don't worry! I can help you overcome this.

You can overcome the attraction to unhealthy content with the help of others! I can sense your guilt, unease, and self-loathing, but I know you can get through this.

This may be because unhealthy content triggers your deep-seated fears, anxieties, or subconscious needs, causing you to feel out of control. You are young and curious, and it is totally normal to browse the Internet for some unhealthy content!

You were young at the time, but you can still make the choice to avoid searching for unhealthy content in the future!

After reading this, you may feel a little uncomfortable, which is great because it means you understand that you shouldn't touch those things and that you are still a child. In fact, each of us has our own dark side, but most of the time we are not aware of it, which means there's plenty of room for growth and learning!

The online world is a vast, open space brimming with a kaleidoscope of messages, some of which may not align with your values. When I'm exploring a serious webpage, I might stumble upon an unexpected advertisement. It's a fascinating aspect of the digital landscape, and it's something we can't blame ourselves for.

You're in your teens and you're learning about sex. How exciting! It's a big step, but you're doing great. Take a deep breath and relax.

You can do this! First, identify the source of the emotion and understand why you feel guilty. Then, you can deal with this emotion through self-reflection, communication, and seeking help.

And remember, you can avoid situations that trigger these emotions again, maintain positive thinking, and find healthy ways to deal with these emotions!

Wishing you all the best!

Good morning, my name is Evan and I am a counselor at this institution.

From the description, it is evident that the subject is experiencing negative emotions, including guilt and depression. During the process of growth and development, individuals are likely to encounter various forms of temptation. The circumstances described are not uncommon and may be observed in many individuals undergoing similar stages of growth and development.

Even adults may find it challenging to resist exposure to unhealthy or seductive content on the Internet, let alone a growing teenager.

Your capacity for introspection and your readiness to modify your behavior are commendable, indicative of your ability to exercise restraint and to think in a mature manner. It is important not to experience excessive guilt or to undervalue your own worth.

It is possible that exposure to unhealthy content may have a negative impact on the mental health of the questioner. However, it is also important to note that the questioner's awareness of the problem and willingness to take action to change it represents a significant step in the right direction.

In regard to the question of how to deal with this problem, the following suggestions are offered for the consideration of the questioner:

It is recommended that the subject accept their behavior. It is important to note that many individuals of a similar age exhibit comparable behaviors, and that this behavior is not isolated. Given the subject's age, it is understandable that they possess a strong curiosity about certain matters.

In many countries, similar popular knowledge is taught, but the lack of teaching in this area in China has led many adolescents to develop a strong curiosity about this biological knowledge and to behave in ways that are understandable. Furthermore, many adults also behave in a similar way, which adds to the confusion and guilt experienced by the questioner.

It is recommended that the questioner seek support from family members, friends, or professionals. These individuals can provide guidance and assistance in navigating the situation.

It is often the case that when an individual focuses on their own world and faces certain difficulties alone, it is difficult for them to extricate themselves from this predicament. However, seeking support from the resources available to them can facilitate a more positive outcome. It is important to recognise that everyone makes mistakes and that the key is to learn from them and strive to become a better version of oneself.

One should refrain from self-deprecation in the context of past missteps.

It is recommended that users establish boundaries to limit their exposure to the content in question. This can be achieved by utilizing filtering software or parental control functions to restrict access when necessary. Alternatively, if the user is unable to cease engagement with the content independently, they can set a healthier frequency of engagement.

In the field of medicine, as well as in certain physiological textbooks, the question of how often a person can maintain a healthy frequency is addressed. The treatment of physiological needs cannot be suppressed without consideration. It is necessary to identify the inherent law, in a manner similar to the approach taken by Yu the Great in managing water resources, in order for the questioner to be able to regulate their desires effectively.

It is advisable to identify alternative activities that can be engaged in as a substitute for the unhealthy pursuits that are currently being undertaken. These could include sports, reading, learning new skills, and so forth. It may be helpful to devote oneself to activities that require a significant time commitment, thereby limiting the amount of free time available for exposure to these unhealthy activities.

When the urge arises, it is advisable to engage in other activities that serve as a distraction, such as engaging in physical activity or socializing with friends. It is beneficial to identify a hobby that allows one to focus their attention. When one is able to focus on their hobbies, they may find that the past becomes less alluring.

In the event that the issue is significantly impacting the individual's quality of life, it may be necessary to seek professional assistance from a counselor or psychologist. These professionals can assist in identifying the individual's underlying needs and helping them align their desires with their innermost aspirations. Additionally, they can facilitate the correction of maladaptive behaviors through behavior training.

Furthermore, the author may wish to consider surrounding themselves with positive information and environments, which will assist in fostering a positive mindset.

It is important to note that it is normal to encounter challenges during periods of growth and development. What matters is how one responds to and addresses these challenges. The questioner has already taken the first step of seeking assistance, which is a significant improvement.

It is of the utmost importance to maintain a positive attitude and patience. It is a well-established fact that changing a habit requires a significant investment of time and effort. However, by persevering and seeking support, the questioner can gradually break free from this bad habit and establish a healthier lifestyle.

It is my hope that this response will prove useful to the questioner.

The following book is recommended for further reading:

In her book, Self-Control, Kelly McGonigal presents a scientific analysis of self-control and offers practical strategies for developing this essential skill.

In her book, The Internet Survival Manual, Katherine Price offers advice and strategies for maintaining one's health in the digital age.

Inferiority and Transcendence – Alfred Adler

Good day, It is a pleasure to meet you.

I can sense your anxiety and restlessness, and your mood swings. First and foremost, you should not be too hard on yourself or feel inferior.

It is not uncommon for adolescents to exhibit curiosity about sex and unhealthy content. However, excessive addiction to such material can have adverse effects on both physical and mental health.

Please find below some suggestions to help you manage the situation:

1. Identify the issue: Recognizing the problem is the first step towards resolution. Accept the current situation and understand that improvement is possible.

2. Limit exposure: It is advisable to avoid exposure to unhealthy content as much as possible. One possible solution is to set up filters in your browser or restrict access to certain websites.

3. Cultivate healthy interests: Dedicate more time and energy to pursuits such as sports, reading, painting, etc. Do you have any hobbies?

Please consider devoting more time and energy to this area, or perhaps to a subject you are interested in studying. I am confident that you will find great satisfaction in this pursuit.

It is also important to note that this can serve to distract attention and reduce focus on unhealthy content.

4. Establish healthy values: Take the time to reflect on your values and goals, and clarify what kind of person you want to become. This will help you make more meaningful choices.

5. Prioritize physical and mental health. Establish routines such as going to bed early and getting up early, maintaining a healthy diet, and exercising moderately. This will positively impact your mood and overall well-being.

6. Seek assistance: If you are experiencing difficulties, we advise you to consult with the school counselor. They can provide professional support and guidance.

Ultimately, with the right mindset and a determined approach, you can overcome this challenge. It's important to remember that you're not alone in this journey. Many individuals have faced similar obstacles and have succeeded in overcoming them.

I would like to take this opportunity to encourage everyone to put the knowledge gained here into action, and to wish you all a lifetime of happiness.
