some people say yes.the internet helps make many friends.chatting on line，students can more freely express their feelings and opinions，and even get help with their foreign language studies .
others，however，think students should not.they say making friends on line is a waste of time，which should be spent more meaningfully on study.besides，some students get cheated on line .
it is my opinion that students should place their study，health and safety before other things.as for friendship，we can readily find it in our classmates and other people around us .
