A latest national survey has found that over half of China's netizens are suffering from various mental problems although some 62 percent of them claim at the same time that they are happy on the whole anyway.
This is the result of China's first White Paper on Netizens' Health Conditions issued on Wednesday by 39.net, China's largest authoritative website on health sciences. It is the first most comprehensive health survey on netizens' health situation ever conducted in China in ten years' time. The white paper came out after two months of online and offline research that involved over 150 thousand netizens, covering topics and questions on health knowledge, mental situation, sense of health, and living habits.
According to the white paper, more than 70 percent of China's netizens say they are suffering from mental problems such as bad memory, anxiety, depression, and a lack of confidence. And a similar 72 percent of them also say they are often suffering from diseases like insomnia, dizziness, joint degeneration and achings. Meanwhile, another 53 percent of netizens believe that white collar employees who have bigger work pressures are more likely to catch mental problems.
The white paper adds, doing almost no sports and spending long time surfing online lead to the above mentioned health problems among netizens. Only 9 percent of netizens take up sports on weekends while over 40 percent stay home, surfing. And only 16 percent netizens can assure more than eight hours' sleeping daily.
At present, China has a netizen population of 162 million, with a monthly consumption of 186 yuan, or about 25 dollars, on Internet surfing.

Finding acceptance is a natural desire of most people .When we are young ,it is important for us to be accepted by a group and to be seen as "cool" by our friends and classmates .To do this ,we will often take up the views and interests of the group rather than develop our own.?

Over time, however ,we have the opportunity to learn to accept ourselves .People who have done this are confident in their true abilities; they do not feel the need to create a  façade  to impress other people .They are concerned with whether their actions produce worthwhile results rather than with how they are seen by others.?

Less secure（有把握的）people are quite different .Instead of finding security in themselves, they look for other people to provide it .This kind of person constantly agree with everything others suggest ,for fear of having their own ideas refused.
