political affairs (Abduab, Mohamada & Mudaa, 2016). This is because factor acts like a platform
and the modern day youth try to for their own opinion and their understandings towards the
political situations and also the political leaders as well. This is because consulting about politics

The online social networking sites like faebook, twitter and other such platforms helps the young
generation to stay in a proper contact with each other irrespective of the geographical barriers
and also there is a exchange of newer and innovative ideas. It is for this reason that the online
social networking sites like that of face book have become highly popular among the young
generation of people (Ophir, Asterhan, Schwarz, 2019). However this platform is also giving rise
to a large number of negative symptoms among youth as well. Teenagers are often suffering
from depressions after sing face book for a long time. As face book is a Universal platform, often
the users suffer from much such discrimination from others. These can take place via some
negative comments or posts being uploaded in face book. Parents, family members and the care
givers are often not capable of understanding the different mind state or the emotional battles
that are going on among their children. It is because of this reason that researchers say the
emotional state of teenagers are often understood from the posts and the tone in which they are
writing their posts.
