This study examines the way online interactions and existing support in it with a quantitative approach and with regard to the nature of the problem by means of internet scanning through questionnaires. The response of respondents through telegrams and then other social networks such as Watts Up, Emo and Skype and ... are in contact with their affiliates, which interact with first-degree family members in less time intervals. People often turn around the "heart and morning" and then "counseling and exchanging information".
