Surfing through the Internet has become one of the popular activities among teenagers. Our Happy Teen Club conducted a survey during the period from October 2004 to February 2005 on 'Patterns on Computer Usage of Teenagers' and found that teenagers (especially those who are addicted to computer games) prefer spending 15 to 16 hours a day at the computer rather than going to school. Their addictions had severely affected their family relationships also.

In view of the lack of self-control of these teenage addicts on Internet surfing, Happy Teen Club started a new service for them in April. A hotline is assigned to answer enquiries on addicted behavior by social workers. Counseling service will be arranged for those in need. Small groups are also organized to help those who need to regain or re-establish their self-control ability. Last but not the least, workshops for parents are organized to teach and equip them with knowledge on the world-wide-web and introduce to them methods to discipline their children on the use of computer and Internet surfing.
