  ABSTRACT: This paper reviews the definition and characteristics of online games, discusses the negative and positive effects of Internet on teenagers, and summarizes the negative and positive effects of online games on teenagers from three dimensions of physiological development, cognitive development, social development and personality development. Online games are a double-edged sword, which may make teenagers addicted and even psychologically unbalanced, but they can also gain more role experience, enhance self-awareness and teamwork consciousness, and expand the scope of interpersonal communication.
