With access to the internet and social media websites, many children are exposed to a number of dangerous situations. Adults should thus limit access to the internet for their children. Do you agree or disagree?

In
this
day and age, social
media
websites have been around for a
while
and have been playing a major role in our daily lives, even with the younger generation.
However
, there have been several claims stating that it is unsafe for
children
to access these websites and grownups should put limits on accessing these sites. I completely agree with
this
statement and
this
essay will discuss the reasons behind the aforesaid issue. Throwing light on the issue, I totally agree that social
media
is a platform where younger people can find culturally diverse friends and find out more about the world with just one click;
however
, the advantages of the internet outweigh the drawbacks.
To begin
with, the World Wide Web is a toxic place where thousands of people are available for bullying, doxing and grooming issues. These incidents happen frequently and it is not an uncommon issue,
hence
this
should not be exposed to younger
children
as it is harmful to them.
Additionally
, as these social
media
sites are very influential, the offspring and teenagers will be attracted towards them and will be engaged in
such
terrible instances.
In addition
to
this
, social
media
platforms
such
as TikTok are famous for their ridiculous trends
such
as jumping from running a car or from the top of the building, eating some clothes washing detergent and many more. These trends have caused many injuries and deaths;
hence
these kinds of platforms are banned in many countries
for example
India. Younger
children
are always curious to learn and try new things without thinking about consequences.
Such
websites should be not allowed to be watched and banned by the government and
as well as
by all the grownups.
To conclude
, social
media
is a platform for many opportunities
however
at the same time it brings many challenges for the youth and their families,
hence
it is advisable that parents should not allow access to their
children
at a young age to keep them away from toxic and influential people.
