So I've decided to pick out statistics that have to do with internet addiction. I have no idea how I am going to use them, but here is what I found:
In a Chinese survey of 1618 teens, 10.6% of whom were addicted to the internet in some way, 16% reported harming themselves in some way in the preceding six months. The conductors of the survey calculated that internet addicted teens were twice as likely to self-harm.

In a Stanford survey of 2,513 adults, 13.7 percent (more than one eighth) found it hard to stay away from the internet for several days at a time, and 8.2 percent used the internet as a way to escape problems or relieve negative mood.
