2. The dark truth of the internet– These days technology is being used in every work. Internet usage is also a part of technology. Parents give their children phones and laptops to spend time, but they do not care where the children spend their time.

Monitoring Social Media Activities– Often parents keep girls away from the internet and social media, but during adolescence both boys and girls need to be careful about what they see on the internet and how they connect with people. At this age, mood swings, stress and loneliness also start to increase in boys, which sometimes makes them irritable.
