RECOMMENDATIONS
discovered that could assist in solving the problems caused by social networking sites.
Firstly, students should be more careful when using social networking sites so they will

social networking sites by having workshops and programs to enhance their childrens
lives as well as theirs. It can be recommended that some areas that should be highlighted
for future research include Port of Spain, Chaguanas and Sangre Grande. Finally, the
government should implement real life consequences for harmful online activities such as
fees to pay when they break certain online laws to reduce the effects of cyber bullying
