People whine and whine about the government having too much information about them. They wont give their phone number to a cashier at the Bed Bath and Beyond. They bitch and moan about google street view showing their cat in their window.

...Then they post their entire life history, their phone number, and a million pictures of their cat on their facebook.

Whatever, y'all.

Because more and more people are using Social Networking sites, they socialize only through the Internet, and begin to lose their abilities to talk to people face to face.

Ever since the beginning of time, people have, for the most part, interacted face to face, and that's the way it should be.

There is no sure way to know that the person you are talking to is who they say they are. These sites make it easy for predators to prey on naive people. According to The Los Angeles times, 900,000 sex offenders were MySpace members. The fact that there are individuals with bad intentions out there who spend their time trying to lure people in through false identities, puts everyone in great danger.

its very bad because it wil distract alla the time while studyimg all the time if we use we wil addict at all the time we are not able to come out of the palce it wil eat all the time of us

Bad, because fags are hunting for children to harm. Mostly, with the same gender.

i think social networks are bad the are getting diverted from studies and want increase their friends in these sites

didn'tbasic survey shows

96 percent of college students use Face book

Grades of students who checked Face book while studying were 20% lower than grades of those who didn’t check Facebook while studying;

79 percent of students did not believe that multitasking in the way mentioned above negatively affected their grades;

20 percent of students that use social media reported feeling connected to their institution;

* 75 percent of college students reported wanting to collaborate on line.

according to statistics children before the viewing the facebook were good in studies at the age of 15

and now acc to the international student assesment they were far behind

There are so mnay problems that Social Networking Service Sites come up with.

1. Anonymity-No name, wrong identity

2. Privacy Protection-SNS less protection

3. Cyber Bullying-People bully each other on SNS

4. Identity Theft-People steal others' identity

5. Addiction-Disturbs Academics and work

6. False Info and Wrong Info spread fast

And so on

Frequent use of these sites can lead to not being social at all. I use twitter (aqwman2 btw) and I've seen the stuff it can do. The user can eventually get addicted to them as easily as alcohol or tobacco. I use twitter, but not very frequently. Some people have actually found a way to make their profile picture on Facebook look like someone else. Good luck topping THAT.

Social networking sites are bad because they can cause shortened attention spans, cause you to lose interpersonal communication skills and are addictive. Social media has become a huge part of our society. Everything has an app, website, Twitter or Facebook page. Although convenient and entertaining, social media is now becoming harmful. Based on information available at socialtimes.com, the average attention span has dropped from 12 minutes to 5 minutes. When there are sudden changes in our environment our bodies release adrenaline and Oxytocin is released in our brains during social interaction these both can cause addictive behaviors in social media settings. Oxytocin is the hormone that is responsible for stimulating trust and empathy. Most times it is released during face to face social interaction. Social networking gives the same affect as though we were talking to family and friends face to face. The only problem is people prefer the social network rather than actually spending time with family and friends. This lowers your ability and, want to carry on everyday normal conversations. I don't believe that its the social network sites themselves that are bad, we should start to not spend so much time entertaining these sites and interact more with one another face to face.

social networking is bad because it causes cyberbullying,blackmailing,and other situtions in social networking.

New research suggests that heavy social media use might be correlated to lower self-control, which marketing experts believe could lead to higher spending. "Ultimately, the way you counteract this is by raising your self-awareness,” Columbia University Professor Keith Wilcox told TODAY. “It's not about don't spend time on Facebook, but just be aware of what it might be doing to you."

SOCIAL NETWORKING SITES ARE BAD BECAUSE THEY KINDA HAVE A NEGATIVE INFLUENCE TOWARDS US.IT CHANGES THE WAY WE THINK, DO THINGS AND HOW WE DRESS UP. SO YEAH IT IS BAD FOR US WITHOUT IT TEENS NOWADAYS WOULDN'T BE HOW THEY ARE!
