When light passes through a concave len the rays diverge, they move away from where they used to be. If an image is created from rays passing through a lens this is what happens :

Rays which are parallel to the principle axis will align with the (real) focale point

Rays passing throught the optical centre will continue on

Those passing through or aligned with the (virtual) focale point will then become parallel to the principle axis

These changes occur while passing through the lens itself. This will result in a smaller virtual image, which can be erect or inverted

towards its center because concave lens bend inward.

It bends it outwards. Convex lenses bend it inwards

When the parallel rays of light falls on concave lens, it is diverged. For the same reason, the concave lens is also called the diverging lens...

What happend to rays of light when they are refracted by a convex lens?

Now suppose that the rays of light are traveling through the focal point on the way to the lens. These rays of light will refract when they enter the lens and refract when they leave the lens. As the light rays enter into the more dense lens material, they refract towards the normal; and as they exit into the less dense air, they refract away from the normal. These specific rays will exit the lens traveling parallel to the principal axis.
