           Pornography, sexual harassment, violence, vandalism, social problem nowadays is highly related with the internet. People especially kids who are below 18 years are totally exposed with it without any boundary. As we live today, people are more relying on the internet especially through social media and blogs for them to get the information as well as entertainment. It has become more serious than we can imagine. Recently, there was a news reported about a 12 year old girl has been raped by eight boys of each them are between 12 to 14 years old. This is clearly shown that the influence of easy access to the pornographic from the internet has affected the younger generation into the crime.

            Other than that, information retrieved from the internet is extremely unreliable in certain circumstances. The internet can manipulate the audiences and readers to believe on what has been told through the blogs and social media. They tend to rely on the information from internet rather than check where the sources came from. Most of the people cannot differentiate between the good and bad which leads into gathering, riot, violence and others.

            Internet does not have to be avoided completely. The more they are aware of the potential threat and dangers, the more protection people having against it. Social media or the internet is one of the best sources for information and social interaction, and to ignore it would isolate people from social communication where else there are plenty of advantages from it. People have to think critically on each of the information shared through the internet in making the right decision. Parents, schools, teenagers and others have to take it as a serious matter for the better future. Ask ourselves, how this will affect us in 10 years from now? Precaution is better than cure! #
