Cyber Wellness

In this era , internet is the most commonly used method to communicate with others . The internet allows people to communicate with each other easily even if they are in a different country. Email , online chatting etc have been making their way into many people's life and it has become something that they cant do without.

Though it has its advantages , there are bound to be disadvantages too. Most parents nowadays are oblivious to what their child is doing when they are surfing the net . Thus , teens are gaining access to websites that they should not be visiting as their parents are not monitoring them.

Some teens are often bullied in school and the only way that they can vent their frustrations and anger is through the net. This may result in the teen who is bullied , bullying others online which is cyber bullying. Cyber bullying is an issue that has to be resolved. Many cyber bullying in foreign countries has resulted in the victim commiting suicide as they cant withstand the pressure.

In conclusion , i feel that parents have the responsibility to oversee their child when they are surfing the net so as to prevent them from surfing sites they should not be visiting and also talk to them to find out how they are doing in school rather than talk about results all the time.
