to chat and socialize with friends they met online which could lead to a risky situation.

This

essay would discuss two effective measures or solutions that can be put in place to curb

this

practice.

Firstly

, young ones need to be monitored by their parents or guardians while using the internet,

thus

their day-to-day activities on the web must be regulated and

also

a time limit must be put in place to deter wrongful usage

this

medium.

For instance

, children should only be allowed to

use

the internet for an assignment or research-related purposes. For

this

reason, they should be discouraged from spending countless hours on social sites

such

as Facebook, Instagram and Twitter.

Therefore

, more priority should be placed on their studies as against engaging in frivolities online.

Secondly

, youngsters need to be educated about the unforeseen dangers associated with the

use

of social media,

hence

they need to know that, not all that glitters is gold. They ought to be aware that apart from meeting friends online, they can all meet dangerous people

such

as online scammers or rapist who are ready to entice or deceive them so as to fall victim to their atrocities.

For example

, children need to be informed that a lot of people on the platform put up a false impression of themselves in order to attract gullible youths. To sum up, the younger generation would be better off if they can implement and abide by these solutions. Not only will they be cautious about the kind of friends they make online, but they would

also

be well informed about the potential hazards of using social media.
