The Internet helps young people make meaningful connections and even creates job opportunities for them.

These are all the positive effects that the internet has created for us. Which makes our life easier. But this tool is not as innocent as it seems, it has own disadvantages. When used too much, it also has its negative properties. The world is already living in the internet age, virtual life makes real life easier. People are already used to this ease. However, this ease makes people somewhat passive, causing certain psychological problems such as anxiety, lack of self-confidence, addiction, depression and loneliness. The Internet and social media create many differences in ideal concepts of young people. All these processes affect social relations. All the difficulties created by the virtual form of interpersonal relations continue to pose serious questions for psychology.
