Article review (Online Relationship)

Link for my article. Click here.



This article is about online relationship. To me, this article is very interesting because it educates people about the effects of online relationship. It also helps those who have the same problems to share their thoughts and opinion on online relationship.

I choose this article because this article is most related to youngsters and teenagers nowadays. Facebook is one of the most popular social networking site for people to run their business, socializing and so on. But most of them use Facebook as a site for socializing especially teenagers. They tend to forget the disadvantages that they must go through. For instance, chatting online is fun but at the same time it can leads to several problem such as wasting time and so on. It also leads to not doing homework and assignments. To cut it short, it leads to major discipline problems.

So this article is about this guy, his mom marrying a guy that she met through the internet. He was grateful that his new father is a normal guy and not a psycho like some people on the net. Then after they got married, they moved to Easton PA. After six months, he went down to Ontario, where he used to live before his mom marrying his new father. He was introduced to a girl and exchanged emails. After he got back home, they talked almost everyday on the internet and he realized that he started to like her. During the Thanksgiving holiday he came down to Ontario and he bought her a present. Then he had to go back to Easton PA. He emailed her telling that he misses the time that they spend together and he also confessed his feelings to her. The girl emailed him back telling him that she also had a great time but unfortunately she likes someone else. He accept the girls' decision but it hurts him inside.

My opinion on this article is I agree that online relationship doesn't work. Not every girl or boy, however, will be as honest as she was honest to him. Just knowing a person on the internet doesn't mean you know anything about that person. They could be the opposite of what you expect and they could be lying really easily. 

The conclusion is online relationship is not a good way to have a relationship. If you want a relationship, go ahead and find one out there. There is a lot of opportunity out there, not only on social networking site. Because through online relationship, we don't know whether the person you are dating is being honest to you.
