The Internet, which is one of today's most important technologies, has become an integral part of our lives. The fact that the internet, which surrounds our four sides, is addressing to all age groups also extends the user profile. The fact that adolescents are keen users of the internet and their excessive use of the internet lead to problematic usage of the internet. This is an issue that needs to be addressed with precision. The aim of this research is to determine the social work interventions that can be applied at the macro level to reveal the reasons of problematic internet usage and the solutions that will contribute to the elimination of these reasons in secondary and high school students. Eight secondary schools and 599 high school students from the center of Kocaeli Province were selected as representatives from secondary and high schools. "Problematic Internet Usage Scale-Adolescent" developed by Ceyhan, Ceyhan and Gurcan (2009) was used to determine problematic internet use of students. The data obtained from the questionnaire was interpreted by SPSS with basic descriptive statistics, T-Test, Anova and Single and Multiple Regression Analysis techniques.
