As if parents did not already have enough to worry
about now they need to worry about their children displaying negative
psychological effects from over using facebook.
Facebook is very popular
social networking site over eight hundred million users. As an avid user of
facebook myself, I find it hard to believe that at one point it didn’t exist.
Infact, it has become so much apart of people’s lives that you can learn their
life story just by checking their page. Their friends, likes and dislikes
relationship status
Phone numbers address
everything.
Social media like facebook may both positive and negative
effects. Talking about positive aspects of facebook, it helps to keeping touch
with family and friends making new friends, expressing you.
As we have many positive aspects of facebook we have many
negative aspects and effects of the social media. Use of social media may harm
on our creativity and knowledge. Creative power may get generated from social
media but it doesn’t make that creative power of learning.
Facebook has many possibilities of doing well in life. We
can find relevant things which we need in our life including authentic
knowledge about different application, instant news, word-making games, IQ
test, etc. Facebook mainly used by different people having different
perception. Some of them used facebook as communication tool, some as the media
which is helpful in their daily lives.
Negative psychological effects of facebook from
‘Overdosing’. Latest research which examines teens and facebook was conducted
using 1,000 teen surveys and observation of 300 teens actively studying. It
concluded that multiple negative psychological effects could result from
spending too much time on facebook and other social media.
Negative effects of facebook on teens who overuse this
social media include; teens whose facebook frequently may became narcissistic,
teens who have a strong facebook presence may display psychological disorders,
such as anti-social behaviours, and mania and aggressive tendencies.
Facebook do not only effects on mentally but it also
effects in educational aspects. Although this pretty much goes without saying,
being connected to technology on a ongoing basis can seriously impact on teen’s
education.
The time has come to determine which should take and which
should left for using social media. Parents and families also have the
responsibility to lessen the negative effects of facebook and its overuse on
their children. Parents should not foster their children to monitoring such
software at home.
Psychological and educational effects of facebook, other
technologies and media on children is invaluable. Perhaps attentive
family/parents have already take action. But for those that have not, it is the
time to wake up to the consequences of facebook and overuse can have on our
children and combat it.
