Dear National Daily, Teens have misused modern technology in many ways. This is also help from social media because as naive as teens are they talk to strangers and also believe lots of things that aren't true. according to PureSight online child safety "Approximately 95 percent of all Americans between 12 and 17 years old are online and three in four teens access the internet on cell phones, tablets, and other mobile devices as of 2012". children under the age still have facebook, instagram, snapchat, ect. because they lie about their age and make a profile. PureSight also said "In 100% of the cases, teens that are the victims of sexual predators have gone willingly to meet with them. Teens are willing to meet with strangers: 16 percent of teens considered meeting someone they've only talked to online and 8 percent have actually met someone they only knew online, and 75% of children are willing to share personal information online about themselves and their family in exchange for goods and services". these number need to change if not there are gonna be a lot more children and teens abductions and maybe even human trafficking.

Subject: Dangers of misuse of modern technology by the youth.
Sir,
Through the columns of your esteemed newspaper, I would like to highlight the issue of the dangers of misuse of modern technology of the youth in India.
We are living in an age where the use of technology has become as essential as breathing, and the use of it is rampant among youngsters. Technology has made way cyber bullying, hacking and trolling to a great extent.
Youngsters may also stumble upon something which isn't necessarily benefiting them. Technology often reduces the productivity too, since teens spend hours on their phones.
Thus, it is need of the hour to educate the youth on who to use technology wisely, instead of extensively.
Thanking You
Yours sincerely,
