The Social Networking Weblog

Research conducted by the California State University has revealed that children who use social networking sites such as Facebook frequently are more likely to get lower grades in school. The study also indicated that these students are also more likely to have behavioral problems and narcissistic tendencies from spending too much time logged on to these social networking sites.
These findings have been released at the American Psychological Association in a speech called 'Poke Me: How Social Networks Can Both Help and Harm Our Kids'. Apart from the negative effects of over using social networking such as vain, aggressive and anti social behavior of the students; it has also been noticed that children below 13 years of age who overuse social networking sites are more likely to be prone to bouts of anxiety, depression, sleeping problems, and stomach aches.
