Jarvis acknowledges the effect that social networks have had on the youths and notes that it has become a fundamental aspect as far as socialization in young people is concerned. Anyone who is not in social networks is bound to feel left out. However, as much as social networks may be crucial, they may also destroy existing relationships.
