se characteristics or threats that are present in the individual and increase addiction to social networks among adolescents 35
the likelihood that this individual will develop a disorder more often than oth-
ers. Although Rozman (2013) claims that half of the occurrence of addiction
can be attributed to heredity or genetic factors, Topić (2015) and Rozman (1999)
state that the development of addiction can also be influenced by the prima-
ry family environment, including the traumatic experience that has been prov-
en by our research; furthermore, social environment and the repetition of be-
havioural patterns also influence the development of addiction. Thus, we can
say that in the youth period family, society, school and other institutions have
a major influence on the development of addiction.
Conclusion
It is necessary to limit the use of information and communication technologies
among young people and motivate them to spend more time socializing with
friends in real life or in nature. A huge mistake made by young parents is that
they often wobble up their children using smartphones and tablets. Another
major issue is that children see a negative example of using the internet in their
parents. Therefore, let us try to use social networks only for practical purposes,
when needed, and avoid using them as a way of spending our free time.
