This study aims to explore the phenomenon of internet addiction among adolescents and their behavioural patterns. Data for the study was gathered through in-depth interviews with five hundred seventy children, ages twelve to seventeen, who reported excessive internet use and its detrimental effects. The research design utilised in the study was qualitative. The data was analysed using the thematic analysis method to find themes and patterns about internet addiction and how it affects children's behaviour. The results showed that internet addiction among children in India is a growing concern and affects their behaviour patterns in several ways, including neglect of studies and physical activity, social isolation, anger issues, frustration, lack of respect towards elders, unrealistic dreams and demands, cyberbullying, and risky online behaviour, etc. The findings suggest increased awareness and education about the dangers of excessive internet use and support for adolescents and their families
