My View

          

  

When I was thinking about the topic I should write about , it was really easy for me. Hazards the kids might face on the internet has always been a big issue in the world and I was always concerned about it. Since I was a child I have always been exposed to the risks , even when of the early beginning of the internet. Especially of the social networks. In the past ten years that Facebook and other social networks exist , the technology has overcome a huge step and it is more and more easy for a internet predator to get to his victims. When I was at the most vulnerable age in middle school , no one has ever talked to us about the danger and bad intentions , that the person on the other side of the screen might have. A good step the society has made since then is , that there are informative workshops , educated school teachers and a public knowledge that kids come across to in school or in home to inform them , about the downsides of the internet platform. However even when we make the best we can to prevent the bad scenerios from happening , there are still a number of cases , that end up badly. This is the reason , why I made my mind to write my blog and about this topic , to keep the public informed , that there are still a lot of dangerous people on the internet we have to protect our kids from.
On the internet we can be who we want to be , we can make up our new identity, new life and new background , that has nothing to do with the reality. It helps people to get away from their everyday stereotype lives and forget about their issues and troubles.
It doesn’t matter if you are a boy or a girl , if you are obese or skinny or what age you are. On the internet you can became who you want to be. The fact that we sit behind a screen and between the other person and us is a big distance gives us a feeling of confidence and power. We are on the internet unlimited and have no boundaries or rules.
As one of the basic priorities in the fight against the danger kids might face on the Internet, might be better information not only for children but also for parents and educational staff in schools. Children need to be told more often that it's not just about turning on a computer or mobile phone and connecting to the internet and entering a fairy-tale world of almost limitless possibilities. We have to tell them that like in fairy tales, various pitfalls and evil beings might lurk on them in the Internet environment , and that, in contrast to the fairy world in our real world, good does not always over evil. In order for evil not to prevail, parents need to be more interested in their children and have more insight into their activities on the Internet despite their precious time.
The aim of the blog is to create an overview of existing risks related to the use of social networks by children and youth based on data processing from specific criminal cases and several researches.
Therefore, I would like this work to improve the awareness of the risks that most of all children in the Internet environment may experience and if my blog helps to avert even one real danger that any child might face, then my efforts have not been wasted.
