INTRODUCTION

Background of the Study Social networking sites were already part of our life since we are using it every day. These sites enable us to have a direct interaction between individuals. This involves a variety of services such as Facebook, Twitter, YouTube, Instagram and many more. Through these sites, people can post anything they want, like the information about themselves, pictures and blogs. People can also play games. Obviously, Social networking sites make the communication easy and faster, but on the other hand, there are so many risks on it. People tend to love things that they enjoy the most. Using these social networking sites can be an addiction. For example, students spend hours on playing World of Warcraft than studying. The amount of procrastination was almost 95%. It obviously harms their performance on other things and it even can harm their health. So in this research paper, we can sort out all the advantages and disadvantages of social networking sites to each individual.

Statement of the Problem
A. Is social networking sites really advantageous to each individual?
B. Why do people use online social networking sites?
C. How can an individual use social networking sites wisely?
D. Why do some people spend a lot of time just for chatting?

Statement of the Hypothesis
A. Social networking sites are really advantageous to each individual since it helps us a lot in different way. We can communicate to anyone with just one click. We can do our homework just by searching through the web; we can play games whenever we don't feel like doing anything productive, watch movies online. It obviously gives us happiness too. There are just so many sites that can be accessed and you can interact with any person around the world. Through this, you can look for any available job. So therefore, a social networking site really brings so many advantages to us individuals.
B. People use online social networking sites since they can share their interest, capabilities, and anything they want to share. Each individual has the power to do those sharing with just one click. Individuals also gain something like knowledge. If students have lots of homework or school papers to do, they can search through the internet for an appropriate site that can help them accomplish those, and when it comes to group discussion, many social networking sites can offer them to talk through video chatting or chat. Therefore, social networking sites were used since people were gaining lots of advantages from it.
C. We can say that an individual can use social networking site if they know their limits on using it. If you are a wise user, you would not post personal information about yourself since there are so many strangers that might use that information to harass you. An individual must also learn to manage their privacy, also it better not to trust anyone including the person who added you specially if you don’t even know where he or she came from.
D. Based on our research we found out that people that spend a lot of time chatting, or mostly do online dating are the people who have emptiness and insecure feelings in that way they are encourages to do online chatting. In some cases the people who approach online to fulfil their aggressive wants which are not fulfilled in real life, and some kind of people who loses their dear ones and failures in married life also approaches online to get through their lonely ness. For the sum of its, people usually do online are the person who have a lonely life and expressed it thru online.
