internet provides a lot of information, helps in online classes, searches materials, and
communicates with people using social network sites. We are human beings we know
that overuse of the internet may affect the day-to-day life of individuals in terms of
psychological well-being. Usage of the Internet is much related to an individual’s mental
health. Most teenagers are more prone to the use of the internet than other groups. The
overuse of the internet also leads to psychological and social issues among adolescents

between adolescent internet use and their psychological health. This study adopted a
survey method, and 2993 samples were gathered with the help of an internet usage
