1. Many teenagers watch online pornography either knowingly or unknowingly. Research was done on online pornography in which most of the boys are watching online pornography purposely than girls. Research says that OP is the place where many youth are knowing about sex and relationship. Guardians think totally negative on youth watching pornography and they feel awkward while discussing about this topic. Teachers are the most important persons who plays major role in the lives of teenagers. School is the best place to learn about sexual socialization but watching porn had a lot of disadvantages on the children.

2. Technology is rapidly increasing day-by-day as it helps to deal with everyday dynamic things. Research says that mothers are more interested to use social media than fathers to support their child. Therefore, to catch up child's knowledge on digital skills, every parent should need to know about pros and cons of internet. Internet is not the safe place for the child to roam around and parents should know whether digital technology is improving their child's life better or ruining their life.

3. Internet has both positive and negative effects on child's behaviour. Everyone only knows the positive side of internet, but they don’t know bad side of it. Today's youth are watching unauthorized content on social media which is not good for their social development. Parents who are literate knows more about advanced technology, so they will supervise their child about what to watch and what not to watch on internet. However, illiterate parents don’t know what kind of content is watched by their child .so parents who are illiterate file more cases about their child's behaviour.

4. Internet has lot of negative effects on child's physical and mental behaviour. Many researchers examined the behaviour of child who watch porn. As we know internet is used in worldwide because it is very easy to use but the age of the user is decreased than before. Primary students are also accessing the internet and they are watching the unauthorized content.

5. As internet is used by everyone there are many apps where we can seek a lot of information. YouTube turned out to be a great platform for entertainment, information, learning new skills. It also provides great opportunities for individual to prove themselves it may be a kid, teen, or adult. However, it impacts the child behaviour because there are many unauthorized videos.
