Hello my dear readers!!
In this article I am going to talk about the social sites, about their advantages and disadvantages, the different meanings of a 'friend' in reality and in the websites and about the privacy in these social websites.
Nowadays, there are many different social sites, like for example: Facebook, Instagram, Twitter or Whatsapp. These social sites, have many advantages and disadvantages. One of the advantages would be that we can make new friends, we can speak with new people, we can find a romance, or simply we can chat with our real friends; it's another way of communicating.

Nowadays, there are many different social sites, like for example: Facebook, Instagram, Twitter or Whatsapp. These social sites, have many advantages and disadvantages. One of the advantages would be that we can make new friends, we can speak with new people, we can find a romance, or simply we can chat with our real friends; it's another way of communicating.
But also they have lots of disadvantages. For example: sometimes, people can see your private information, more than you want, nowadays there are many people that create false profiles to cheat you, and also recently we have heard about cyber bullying. You may be wondering: What is cyberbullying?
The use of social networks may expose individuals to forms of harassment or even inappropriate contact. This can be especially true for teens and younger children. Unless parents diligently filter the Web content their family views, children could be exposed to pornography or other inappropriate content.
Besides unleashing age-inappropriate content, the digital age also gave birth to a social phenomenon - cyberbullying. It is often levied more harshly against young females than males and, unlike traditional bullying, it is not limited to physical interaction. Cyberbullying can happen 24 hours a day, every day of the week. Adding to this realm of cyber abuse are the anonymous social media sites which can elevate the severity of the assault - under the false promise of privacy.
At the beginning of the article I have said that also I'm going to talk about the differences between 'a friend' in reality and a friend on a website. So here it is!
A traditional friend is a person who you can meet at the weekends or whenever you want, and a person who you can tell your problems or your secrets. That he or she is going to help you in hard decisions, or in your bad moments. But if you have a friend on a website it is absolutely different, the person that is behind the screen doesn't see you and he or she can't meet you. It's true that that friend can help you, but she or he is not going to be physically with you.
