You are Kabir/ Kavita. You have noticed that nowadays, there is a mobile phone in every child's hand even in schools. You feel that these phones are not required at such an early age and should definitely not be allowed inside the school premises. Write a letter to the editor of a national daily emphasizing the issue.

Subject: Growing mobile addiction among children
Sir:
I am writing to your good self to share my deep concern over the growing mobile phone addiction among the children. PUBG, Blue Whale, Dream 11, Clash of Clans, online snooker, Youtube, Whatsapp, Facebook and a host of other social media portals keep them engaged most of the time. Students have started taking these phones to school even.
This addiction to internet has caused serious health problems. Prolonged use of mobile phones and computers connected with internet affects eye-sight, poor posture, spinal problem, etc. As one becomes addict to internet, one spends maximum time with it, compromising with outdoor activities such as exercise, walk, and sleep also. Prolonged sitting in front of computer leads to obesity. Apart from physical health bad effects, internet addiction causes isolation, tension, depression also. Their academics suffer the most because of these games.
Through the medium of your esteemed daily I appeal to the Government and people also to curb this mobile games addiction. The Government must make some policy to check this growing addiction; otherwise our country will be full of mobile game addicts. Parents should also not allow mobile phones to their children. Kindly give my views enough space in your esteemed daily.
Thanking you in advance.
Yours truly,
Kabir
