Although
Linking Words
the internet has revolutionized the world and is used by everyone now including the younger generation, there are few negative consequences it has when misused. I absolutely agree that elder ones should keep a keen eye on what their kids are doing online. In the
first
Linking Words
part of the essay, we will discuss the negative effects it can have individually and in the later part, we will discuss its social effects.
Firstly
Linking Words
, teenagers are getting addicted to pornography which is readily available on the net these days. To
further
Linking Words
explain, these unethical and immoral things on the net have a devastating effect on the mentality of the youngsters.
For example
Linking Words
, watching porn movies can be a cause of depression and it has a debilitating effect on the physical health of a person.
Therefore
Linking Words
, parents should block access to these sites and monitor the usage of it in their homes,
thus
Linking Words
ensuring that their offsprings are safe from these indecent data available on the web.
Secondly
Linking Words
, there is a social evil
that is
Linking Words
rising day-by-day and is named as “online bullying”. To elaborate, the young people nowadays are taking to the internet for making fun of each other by commenting on the looks and appearance of one another and
this
Linking Words
unethical act of them can have a serious consequence.
For instance
Linking Words

To conclude, the Internet could have an adverse effect on the mental and physical health of a person if used to watch adultery videos, as well as it is used by some immature kids to tease others on social media sites which could be mental harassment for the victim.
