this

issue,

parents

should restrict social media usage

teach

schools

across the world have strict rules where if a student is finding to bullying his fellow classmate, he will be suspended for a year.

,

parents

should forbid the usage of web applications and

schools

can implement punishments that might scare the students.

school

or

parents

take initiative to put more strict rules and regulations around teens , the criminal activities done by

teenagers

will be reduced.
