Raising pets is a popular online game among teenagers. "More than 20 of my classmates have adopted(领养）pets online, while last year the number was just 10,” said Wang Hui, a middle school student from Beijing, who also raises pets online.
If you go to some websites, you can adopt virtual(虚拟的）pets like penguins, chickens, dogs and elephants. You can feed, wash, talk to and play with your pet.
Dai Yingshuang of Shanghai raises pets on Kaixin001. com. The 15-year-old said it is great fun. She thinks that she has "also learned how to take care of others".
If one doesn't feed and care for the pet, it becomes unhappy and unhealthy. So raising an online pet means spending a lot of time online.
This makes many parents worried. They fear there will be bad influence in the children's studies.
Dai said that she usually asks her uncle to take care of her pet, while she is at school.
