7 Negative Effects of Facebook
Though Facebook may be fun to use and is a great way to talk to friends, it actually has many side effects. More negative than positive, if you were curious. Below describes some of these negative side effects.
Here are 7 Negative Effects of Facebook:
Does not Care about His/Her Surroundings
When someone is already addicted to Facebook, there is a big possibility that he/she would not care about his/her surroundings. This person will care about nothing more than the message they are waiting for a reply on.
Less Social Interaction
Though you may have a lot of friends on Facebook, how often do you interact with them in the real world? Come on, you are human! Humans are supposed to be social.
Facebook will reduce your social skills, communication skills, as well as verbal skills if you spend most of your time with the internet.
Bad for Health
You reduce your physical activity, since sitting in front of the monitor and snacking all the time is not good exercise. By the end of the month, you have made yourself become less attractive in front of your opposite sex, due to excessive weight gain.
Reduce the Time for Study
You still go to school, right? So, why don’t you stop browsing Facebook now, and flip open your books so that you can study?
Less Family Concern
Family comes first and foremost. Do these words still have its meaning for Facebookers? Sometimes, Facebook friends are more important than those of family members.
Privacy Blow Up
Many teens that use Facebook are not concerned about their privacy, and seem to keep their profile on the public setting. This provides no protection against non-friends. This is really important for your safety to put your profile on private.
Possibility of Conflict
If you are addicted to Facebook, maybe you know about the immense amount of immature people who create irritating status updates or embarrassing photos from the weekend. These actions are definitely a very good way to set up conflicts with others.

this is a gossip site, just like facebook.
yeah, it can be kind of tedious, and over-rated,
but facebook can also allow people to stay intouch
that are in further reach than just a car ride or phone call.

i agree, Facebook is one of the dumbest sites ever created, its literally divorcing us from face to face activities.
“The Social network?” OR “The Anti-Social Network?”

People just dont seem to work. Their only job seem to be logging on to facebook. Ok you can browse Facebook, no issues, but not 6 hours, when 8 hours is office time. People will lose job at times, m sure. And if Facebook closes, lots and lost more will be jobless.

I agree with this. I have recently started my account there, but without displaying my personal data (much), and given restrictions also. From now onwards, If I am getting addictive to that, within 1 month time, then i might surely try to deactivate my account. Thanks for the information.

This has got to be one of the most ignorant, non-backed pages I’ve ever read.”Surely you will be fatter”? and it lessening social skills? For some, sure. I’ve seen it get people out of their shells too. Might wanna be a little less biased next time.

well this information is very helpful but i think it depends on the self control we have. you need to know how to control yourself in the social network.
