What is good and what is bad with facebook?

Answer 1

Social Networking

People, who use the internet and play Video Games, usually have more stomach aches, anxiety and depression, and have sleeping problems. They are also narcissistic, and have antisocial personality disorder, and paranoia. Even parents have problems with texting and messaging.

In Chicago, (as told by Larry Rosen) a teenager developed carpal tunnel after sending more than one hundred texts per day. The reason so many people feel the need to IM or Facebook, is probably because we were raised with the stuff. Facebook has over 750 million people with an active account.

With the rise of social networking comes the rise of cyberbullying. Cyberbullying is different from the bullying at school because it can follow you anywhere, and at any time of the day. Over forty percent of kids say they're picked on over the internet. And for every one report of cyberbullying, there are about ten others that you'll never hear about. Most cyberbullying happens to people from middle School all the way through college. Almost seventy percent of people use social networking sites. Fifty percent of the seventy percent are teens.So only about ten percent aren't cyberbullyed.

There is also a lack of privacy. On these sites you provide your age, name, and what town you live in. Social networking is also very time consuming. Kids and adults alike have spent a combined total of eight million minutes on Facebook everyday.

But social networking has its pros too. When you have a Facebook, MySpace, or classmates profile, you have connection to the world. You can reunite with long lost friends, and make new ones.
