Young people in Britain turn to the internet to look for help with personal problems rather than seek advice from their parents or friends, according to a new survey.

The poll, carried out by Maximiles Surveys, also showed that nine-tenths of the 1,000 under 25s told the survey for national free helpline Get Connected that they had used the Web to search for help in solving a personal problem.
