friends

 are a great way to know different cultures and traditions of other societies ,whereas others think that physical friendship is a safer option in today's unpredictable world filled with dangerous

people
 meet each other. To conclude,
although
 social
sites

however
,the risk of meeting unknown and dangerous
people
 are more.In my opinion,it is best to avoid
such
sites
 and make physical
friends
