Online Chatting Can Be Harmful


Everything has its own pros and cons, and so does online chatting. Online chatting has many advantages such as serious relationships, confidence and self esteem, long distance relationships, social networking and getting rid of boredom. However, online chatting can have serious disadvantages as well. Many people indulge in unhealthy relationships through chatting and land up wasting time.

It is essential for people to understand that they should never trust the people on the other side of the chat window because he could be much older and mature than you and could easily steal personal contacts or any other crucial information during online chatting. Also if interested in serious dating, do not waste your precious time chatting with a person unless backgrounds match and the relationship could be extended further.

Dating through online chatting can be risky since its virtually dating someone without even meeting that person even once. It always has the risk that the other person has not disclosed vital information about him/her or has given wrong information and personal details. Online chatting websites will not be able to verify the personal information of the participants and hence the probability of putting fake information about oneself is very high. Some people put others pictures to attract others of the opposite sex. In many cases relationships evolve overtime and become serious, but when the people actually meet, the truth is disclosed and such relations then end disastrously.

Even though online chatting has many disadvantages, but parents need not be averse to chatting. They should understand that chatting can help their children develop good communication skills, judgement of people and make them worldly wise. However, appropriate guidance by parents is very essential to protect the children against unsafe chatting windows and also teaching them how to react to sexual approaches.
