Make social media peaceful and safer
We need a peaceful and safer society in order to survive in this physical world and in doing so people follow some ethical and moral principles. Similarly, social media is a digital world where people develop online connections. As digital citizens of the online world, it is our responsibility to make it peaceful and safer. Social media can be very beneficial if we know how to use it wisely.
First and foremost, think before posting anything on social media because content shared has a huge impact on the minds of people. If inappropriate and indecent content is shared it will be destructive for young minds. Check facts and figures before sharing anything to avoid misinformation. People are advised not to consume negative news as it leads to anxiety and depression. Secondly, keep healthy discussion and debate over social media as it leads to positive growth of individuals. Thirdly, avoid sharing negative comments with people because the person even though is behind the screen and far away but he keeps the same feelings and emotions and his sentiments can be hurt. Fourthly if a person is unsure of things he/she must not react immediately on social media. Seeking advice first can be wiser action.
Lastly, stop comparing yourself with social influencers, they are creating fake life by sharing only the perfect part of their life. Such over-representation of people living idealized life leads to social comparison, personal dissatisfaction and severe mental health issues.

Ensure rehabilitation
of street children
There is a growing tendency among us for street children that they are going astray as some unavoidable rights such as education, health, accommodation and social security are not met for them. In addition to eve-teasing, theft, snatching, etc, horrible juvenile crimes like murder and rape are also on the rise among the street children. Again, in addition to drug addiction, the involvement of some street children is growing with the drug business.
Permanent rehabilitation of street children will reduce juvenile delinquency as well as pave the way for future development of the country. Moreover leaving the present of millions of children and adolescents on the path to an uncertain future, it is impossible to reach the expected goal of socio-economic development of the country. Public and private efforts are needed to ensure the rehabilitation of street children for the welfare of the country and the nation.
