Abstract “Addiction to the internet is a 21st-century epidemic.” – Dr. Kimberly Young

In today’s digital age, the internet has become a powerful and essential tool in modern education. It plays a vital role in communication, learning and entertainment, especially for students, educators, and mentors. The internet supports flexible and personalized learning and offers countless educational benefits. However, its overuse has become a growing concern. Many students spend excessive time online not only for academic purposes, but also for social media, gaming, and entertainment. This over dependence on the internet can lead to reduced concentration, procrastination, poor academic performance, and mental health issues such as anxiety and stress.
As future educators, must recognize the difference between productive use and addiction. A conscious effort is needed to prevent internet addiction and to ensure that technology serves as a support, not a distraction, in their journey to becoming effective and responsible teachers.
The main purpose of this study is to know about the Internet overuse among Secondary Students-Teachers and its Effects on Young Generation. The researcher has taken a sample of 100 Secondary Student-Teachers. The classified and tabulated data were subject to statistical analysis using percentage and t- test. From the analyzed data, major findings, discussion, educational implications and suggestions was made and reported.
Keywords Internet, overuse, effects, Student-Teachers, Young Generation.
