Though internet penetration in the education system is good for the future of education but children developing bad trends of using social media sites after getting access to android handsets for attending online classes has unfortunately gone unnoticed during last more than two and a half years of pandemic. As such the misuse of Social media platforms, and WhatsApp is worrying people of all hues and shades across Jammu & Kashmir and also in several states and union territories of the country. However children by any standards of understandabilities are not to be blamed for developing bad trends of using social media sites but adults misusing social media sites have consequently exposed children to bad trends of social media. While morality demands that adults verify the contents of social media posts before sharing them on social media sites , they (adults) take sadistic pleasure in intensifying bad trend of sharing unconfirmed social media posts so much so that this growing tendency among the adults has risen to alarming proportions and there is no end to it. No questions were asked when parents started placing android handsets in the hands of their children for attending online classes and very rightly so keeping in view the compulsions triggered by covid-19 pandemic two years ago and arrival of two high intensity waves of the pandemic during last two and a half years but what went unnoticed is the fact that children in the absence of a close vigil of their parents over their attendance of online classes developed a bad trend of accessing freely social media sites. Never blame the children for accessing social media sites but blame the adults who misuse social media sites on the same android hands which they place in the hands of their children for attending online classes for last more than two years.
Increasing trends of accessing social media sites are developing fast among children only due to the laxities parents have shown in overseeing the use of android handsets by their children for attending online classes and as such vigil of parents over their children in using android handsets for attending online classes is the only wave to reverse the bad trends of the misuse of social media sites developing fast among children in Jammu & Kashmir and other parts of the country.
Unfortunately the bade trend of misusing social media sites growing fast among both the adults and the children has ultimately spoiled the family education system in Jammu & Kashmir and several states and union territories of the country. By all standards of understandabilities it is for the parents to teach their children the best practices of moral conduct and responsible citizenship to neutralise the increasing influence of social media sites over the mental and physical psyche of children in short time of two years as otherwise future generations would be bereft of the high values of morality and responsible citizenship not only in Jammu & Kashmir but also in almost all the states and union territories of the country. Since irrefutable fact is that some netizens on social media sites tend to influence children for fun but they (children) get exposed to worst trends of misconduct in short time. Henceforth close vigil of the parents over their children in using android handsets for attending online classes has not become only imperative and inevitable but also unavoidable. Increasing trends of accessing social media sites are developing fast among children only due to the laxities parents have shown in overseeing the use of android handsets by their children for attending online classes and as such vigil of parents over their children in using android handsets for attending online classes is the only wave to reverse the bad trends of the misuse of social media sites developing fast among children in Jammu & Kashmir and other parts of the country.
