Those are all true.
But remember that chat rooms and such ar'nt all bad. They do improve confadince and self esteem because there talking to someone whom can't see them. Which means they are not being like ignored because of how they look.
But that could also be a bad thing because you don''t know whom your talking to.
So everything on the internet could be good or bad.
