hello! I’m new here and I’m totally noob, today i bought newspaper 7 theme . I installed wordpress via C panel, I would like to ask you : it is necessary to create a child theme? And how to do it? Thanks!
Nope. I don’t use them 🙂
One more question! it is safe to update my theme in future without making a child theme?
The child theme is used if any modification is needed to be done on the theme files. If modifications are done on the parent (main) theme files, the changes would be lost when the theme is updated. Updating the child theme should keep the modifications intact even when the parent theme is updated, depending on the amount of changes made in the parent theme due to the update and modifications done in the child theme.
You may also want to look through the official WordPress docs at some point on wordpress.org – the ‘codex’ as this explains much of the core functionality of what WP is, how it works, and what things do.
This may prove useful for background:

Hello soklevskis,
The child theme will not be overwritten by new theme updates until the core files of the theme will be overwritten to each theme update. The child theme is good if you plan to make some changes to your theme. Notice that exists some restrictions with this and if you want to know which exactly files might be overwritten by child theme, please consult our documentation here -> https://forum.tagdiv.com/the-child-theme-support-tutorial/ Also, for more references and details about child theme, please consult here -> https://forum.tagdiv.com/topic/setting-up-child-theme/
Thanks for your understanding!
