Facebook

Facebook is the world’s largest social network used daily by millions of individuals world wide, but privacy and safety is far from this amusing social network. Facebook can be accessed by anyone, and anywhere, which makes it unsafe, risky and concerning. Individuals who make a facebook account have their private information displayed to the entire world, and even if they private their information, it can never be safe online. Facebook is accessible in some schools throughout the world, but it should be banned since it has a negative affect on children and their studies. Facebook causes students to lose their concentration towards studies and school. Due to facebook bullying has begun to affect many school children. Facebook is not only unsafe, but causes children to have lower self esteem. Facebook has so many negative affects in people’s lives, and should not be accessible to school children under any circumstances.
To begin with, facebook causes students to lack in their studies and school. When facebook is accessible at school, children spend their time on facebook when they should be studying and concentrating on their assigned tasks. Facebook is like a dark hole for children that will ruin their career and future. Also, having access to facebook in computer oriented classrooms causes children to concentrate on facebook instead of the teacher’s lectures. Furthermore, facebook is like a jail, you sit in front of it all day and you do not experience the things happening around you. Facebook also snatches away any form of physical activity children should have during school.
Facebook has affected the lives of many children due to it’s hand in bullying. Facebook can be used by bullies to bully their victims online, whether it’s posting fake rumours or threatening them through messages. In addition, facebook can be used by bullies to post fake pictures or steal their victim’s private information to ruin their reputation and harm them in any possible way. Due to facebook, victims of bullying feel as if they are trapped in a net and cannot escape the bullies even in their own home. Furthermore, victims of bullying receive threatening messages online, and are embarrassed by many users bullying the victim all at once. This can be very nerve wrecking and frightening for the victim. Facebook plays a big role in how bullies have an easier way to harm their victims.
Facebook plays a big role in the low self esteem of school children. Facebook has social cliques where some children do not fit in and that really affects their self esteem, because they feel as if they are not good enough. Furthermore, children feel if they do not have over three hundred friends on facebook, they are “losers” and outcasts. This causes low self esteem and a negative affect on how they should think. Also, when children send friend requests, it may not always be accepted so the feeling of rejection really puts them down and causes low self esteem. Facebook is like a brand new toy that every child wants, but it is not always safe to use.
In conclusion, facebook causes children to lack in school and have less effort towards their studies. It also causes children to suffer from low self esteem due to it’s social activities and social cliques. Facebook is like a weapon for bullies who use it to easily humiliate and harm their victims. This social networking site may seem exciting and catching from a far, but once you are close, it is far from safe and entertaining.
