“…They also reported a cultural context of the phenomenon, as adolescent students from urban areas exhibit a greater risk with respect to internet addictive behavior as compared to students from rural areas. Other recent related studies tracking mature students are generally consistent with these findings, showing a link between various problematic internet uses and poor academic functioning, perceptions and achievements (Kirschner & Karpinski, 2010;Kormas, Critselis, Janikian, Kafetzis, & Tsitsika, 2011;Odaci, 2011;Derbyshire et al, 2013).

Using of the internet today is a growing part of any society. Teenagers are the most users of the internet at their home and/or school. Therefore, it changes their daily lives in terms of physical, social, and psychological status that may exaggerated to be an internet addiction disorder or a physical problem. The aim of the study was to recognize the effects of excessive internet use in Saudi and Egyptian teenagers' health. The design used to conduct the present study was a descriptive correlation design, a convenient sample of 668 teenagers who were recruited from intermediate and secondary school from both countries, 331 teenagers from King Saudi Arabia (KSA) and 337 from Arab Republic of Egypt (ARE). Three tools were used for data collection: the first one was a questionnaire including demographic background of the participants and their families. The second was Internet Addiction Test (IAT) Young (1998) and the third pain rating scale to assess the intensity of musculoskeletal pain that encountered by the students. Results show that 86.6% of KSA teenagers used the internet daily compared to 69.6% in ARE. Regarding internet addiction, in teenagers, 0.9% were severe, 45.3% moderate and 47.7% mild compared to 0.3%, 46.3% and 44.2% in ARE one, 67.3% of KSA teenagers have musculoskeletal pain with internet usage compared to 74.3% in ARE teenagers. No significant relation was found between both groups in relation to internet addiction. A significant relations were found in Saudi students' socio-demographic data and their level of internet addiction in the area of academic level (p ≤ .001), and level of academic achievement (p = .037). No significant relation was found in the same area for Egyptian students. The researchers suggest further studies to be conducted in this field on larger sample size for both genders to identify the other factors related to excessive internet use.

“…Así, los más jó-venes, aquellos que están saliendo de la adolescencia (18 a 20 años) ven el móvil como algo natural. Mientras, los jó-venes "mayores" (grupo de 21 a 24 años y grupo de más de 25 años) usan el móvil con fines más profesionales, menos lúdicos y con menos consecuencias negativas (Beranuy, Chamarro, Graner y Carbonell, 2009), como así lo confirman ciertos estudios (Derbyshire et al, 2013), puesto que se eleva en ellos la percepción del problema que supone el tiempo excesivo dedicado al uso del móvil y sus posibles consecuencias adversas (Labrador y Villadangos, 2010).…”

The vast majority of young people have mobile phones. This has become a must-have item in their lives, with traditional socialization spaces displaced by virtual ones. They use their mobile phones for many hours a day, to the detriment of their psychological and social functioning, showing greater vulnerability to abusive or excessive use, and more likely to become problematic or addicted users. This paper aims to study the impact of mobile phone abuse in a sample of college students, assessing the social, personal, and communicational realms and deepening understanding of the different cyberbullying profiles, analyzing who has more personal and social problems using mobiles: victims or aggressors. Whether the number of hours of mobile phone use has an effect on these problems will also be explored. The
