Are these applications really helpful? For long distance lovers it might sound like heaven, but for young kids? I don't think so. I guess someone if not everyone will agree that internet is now being used for sexual advances. Kids nowadays enjoy meeting new people not knowing how dangerous it can be. Meeting new people may bring excitement and may be amusing in the beginning, but what would happen next after the meet up? Sexual assaults and rape is becoming very common. The more common it gets, the younger the victims are. Predators are just lurking around the internet. Cyber related crimes are becoming very usual. These messaging apps and the internet are both great discoveries and undeniably useful. One should just learn to be responsible enough to know its limitations.
