Mobile friendship-A threat to our youth

(Aaminah Iqbal, Lahore)

Almost every one of us is familiar with “What is Mobile friendship”. Mobile Friendship is a kind of friendship when two people mostly don’t know each other by face.

Mostly 18-25 years old girls and boys are indulged in mobile friendship. Sometimes boys talk to other boys in girls’ voices and take balance from other boys. Girls also do the same thing.

Best time to talk to mobile friends is at night mostly after 12:00 because most of the girls talk to their friends without telling it to their family. Normally, they talk about their families, their relation, love etc.

If we come to how this all starts, some boys write their mobile numbers on papers and throw those papers in girls’ van and girls take that numbers. Sometimes they write their numbers on academy and colleges’ walls. Also sometimes they dial any number and if there is any girl on the other side of the phone, they start teasing her. Normally, girls resist but sometime they start their friendship. Sometime it starts from chatting on the net.

REASONS: Some people do mobile friendship just for the sake of getting attention and love. Mostly, they are those people who have not much care from their families. One of the main reason of this is, our media is promoting this thing in the way of commercials, dramas etc. In their commercials and dramas, relation of boys and girls are shown. Mobile companies offer such packages of low rates at night which encourages girls and boys to more indulge in mobile friendship.

EFFECTS: First of all, studies and jobs of these people are affected. They don’t have proper sleep because they spend their nights by talking to others and thus, in the morning, they don’t get up with fresh minds and unable to do work properly. This is also wastage of time and money.

CONCLUSION: Our youth is our future. If they get indulge in such useless activities, they won’t be able to perform well for the progress of the country. Our religion “Islam” also prohibits talking with “Gher-Mehrams”.

REMEDIES: Parents should keep an eye on their spouses’ activities and friend circle. They should make their children familiar with their moral values and give them full time and attention so that they would not find attention somewhere else. Also, our media should not promote such useless activities.
