As social media continue to develop, more and more youngsters have unsupervised access to all the contents available over the internet in order to meet and chat with friends and even strangers, which can lead to some potentially dangerous situations. What solutions can you suggest to deal with this problem?

In the modern era, a large number of young

people

use the

internet

to meet and talk with friends via social

media

.

Due to

social

media

and the growth of the

internet

in the 21st century, many

children

are facing issues related to their health and the expression of their feelings

as a result

of the lack of face-to-face interaction.

This

issue can be solved by opting for some measures.

To begin

with, there are many

people

all over the world who use the

internet

for their work or education purposes.

As a result

, everyone uses it until late at night, which can lead to a variety of health issues,

such

as vision problems from constantly staring at computers or mobile phones and spinal curvatures from excessive sitting in front of computers and laptops.

Secondly

,

due to

the nature of online meetings and conversations, there is a lack of face-to-face interaction among

people

due to

which youngsters are unable to express their feelings

due to

the loss of peer interaction. Parents can help in resolving these issues by blocking the access of

children

to websites that are not

children

-friendly.

In addition

to that, parents can encourage

children

to go out and play

instead

of being on the

internet

all day in exchange for a surprise or more quality time. Social

media

companies can

also

contribute to the solution by restricting the access of

children

to the platforms on the basis of their age, which can protect them from content

that is

not suitable for them.

For example

, the social

media

platform Facebook recently updated its privacy policies to restrict access to

children

under the age of ten. To summarize, young

people

use the

internet

to interact with various types of

people

online without any supervision, which gives them a sense of freedom and confidence in sending unethical messages to others. To stay out of it, parents should monitor their communication and provide suitable guidance and advice to their

children
