The use,effects and harms of ONLINE CHATTING

Online chatting is one of the main things for which people use the internet.Most of the people who use the computer are on social networking sites.Although chatting is fun and relaxing to most of  us, it does,however have some harmful effects too, that many of us fail to recognise! So given below are some uses and harms of online chatting.

Uses-
1.It helps to avoid loneliness.
2.We meet various types of people online and in this process sometimes find realy good friends too.
3.People who are shy open up amazingly on the net.

Harms-
1.There are fake people,pretenders and characterless people all over the net.They can lead you into trouble.
2.Your account just might get hacked,and you can either do nothing about it or you have to take extreme measures to get back your account ,like calling the cyber police of your country.
3.You might get shocked and have to face sadness for many days when people treat you ridiculously or talk about such  topics which lead you into a mental shock.Believe me,its true !!
4.You might be getting stalked .Its very easy to create a fake account .Its hard to recognise those accounts.So beware of people who are total strangers but still act as if they are your friends.
5.One of the most important problems of these sites is  getting addicted to it.Some people check these chat sites about 20 times a day.This might not seem like a problem,but this is a great distraction from  many worthwhile and important works.

Online chatting and social networking sites do release us from a tensed atmosphere in the real world.But there comes a time in everybody's life ,when they realise that they hardly know most of the people in their friendlists.You do get to meet your old lost pals on such sites.But think twice before you make a total stranger your best friend.
