What is Better: to Make Friends in Real Life or in Social Networks?

Argument 1
"True, indeed, if your parents are strict or if you can't go out to see your actual friends you could get on a social network. But the problem is that nowadays most of the people you meet on a network if you haven't ever met them in real life are fake, pervs, or predators. Not saying that all networks are like that or that all people on there are like that but you never know. A predator can play the role of a trustworthy person for a while and get your information and who knows what else. It's just safer to make friends in real life."

Argument 2
"In my point of view, Internet becomes part of our life. We also should consider it like simply meeting someone in the street. In any case people can lie both in Internet and during face to face contact. It depends on you, to believe or not. For me, it is easier to communicate with someone by chats and social networks. You can analyse the context of speech. (What to say, how to answer and etc.)"
Argument 3
"Nowadays we have more friends in social network rather than in real life. Sometimes you have problems, but you can't share them with your friends in real life, so in network you don't know the person and easily you can share everything you have in your mind. Also it's good if your friend is from another country, because you become more open-minded, you will get new information, you will know their traditions, I think that is really nice. We spend a lot of time on the Internet and chatting, but also we have to have close friends in real life." Adapted from . Accessed on April 7, 2016.
