Children
's unrestricted
access
 to the
Internet
 is becoming increasingly serious in many nations.
Although
 the uncontrolled
Internet
 threatens many communities, its
effects
 can
also
 be successfully combated.
This
 essay addresses some of the problems that arise from unsupervised
access
 to social media and other forms of the
Internet
 and suggests some solutions.
To begin
, it is obvious that when young
people
 connect with unknown
people
 on social media without parental control, it creates multiple problems. Psychological
effects
 are the most representative of them.
For example
, depression, hysteria, mania, obsessive-compulsive disorder, and other types of mental disorders can develop when
children
 are exposed to uncensored and illegal content on social media that includes nudity and explicit violence.
Moreover
, in some cases, young
people
 whose personal information has been published on the
internet
 can even commit suicide. The
second
 negative effect is that the personal information of these unsupervised
children
 can be used for theft, blackmail and fraud purposes.
However
, the menace of cybercrime can be fought. From my perspective, education is the main way to tackle
this
 issue. Youngsters and their guardians need to be aware of the
effects
 and consequences so that they can avoid
this
 problem.
In addition
, the government can
also
 maintain strict censorship and limit
children
's
access
 to cyberspace.
This
 is a beneficent approach because if
children
 are not allowed to communicate with strangers and potential scammers, they will not be exposed to any danger.
As a result
, if social networks and the
Internet
 are restricted for
children
, they will no longer share their personal information and will not be exposed to mental complications. In conclusion, unrestricted
access
 to the
internet
 by young
people
 is a serious issue because it creates harmful influences on
children
's health and even their parents. The best approaches to deal with it are to educate
people
 about its damaging
effects
, and
also
 for the government to censor negative content in cyberspace.
Although
this
 problem is unlikely to be entirely eliminated in the short term there are concrete steps to reduce the
effects
 it is having on the current society.

Support ideas with relevant, specific examples

Examples make your writing easier to understand by illustrating points more effectively.

Examples, if used properly, not only help you get higher marks for ‘Task Response’ but also for ‘Coherence’.

When giving examples it is best to put them after your main idea or topic sentence. They can be used in the middle of supporting sentences or they can be used to start a new sentence. There is no rule for where exactly to give examples in essays, logically they would come after your main idea/topic sentence or just after a supporting sentence.

Linking words for giving examples:

  • for example
  • for instance
  • to illustrate this
  • to give a clear example
  • such as
  • namely
  • to illustrate
  • take, for example
