Introduction:

I was think that facebook has been developed from along time but I really couldnt believe that facebook has been around from five years only. Im really bemused because at the first I thought the idea was stupid then I thought it served as a great networking tool or I just caved because ” every one is having an account on it ” so I established to open an account. I saw a million of people who was smitten by this original sin at first time and I was one of them. So I think that facebook is definitely absurd, principally when you see that how much it effects people. Of course it make me happy when I see my old friends pictures, and most of people used facebook for sod reasons like ” obtrusively “and ” poking ” just as a mean of flirting. So If you think about the mean of the concept of facebook as a whole, its fully narcissistic. You have a public profile where you can talk yourself up over high hyperbole. As many soon found out, facebook has drawbacks. For example I overhead a girl expressing her angry because she is not on top ” friend list “. I thought what happened to being concerned with real friends? . I told her that I don’t care how popular you are. Of course you have more than 400 friends, and there is no reason that make someone feel emotionally distraught over not being on the top friends list of someone else.

Facebook is one of the most famous sites on the internet. In this site there are billions of people from different countries all over the world. Once you started on facebook you will find your self checking it everyday and get addicted to it. And you’ll read all the status of ur friends, and you will also find your self reading the new massages in your inbox. Its really waste most of the time that you can spend it in reading books or studying in doing something useful.

History:

These days 95 percent of teenagers in Egypt use the internet to visit chat room, e-mail, and to explore other sites on the world wide web such as facebook. Recently facebook become one of the most popular sites on the internet. Today its not only available on your computer but through most mobile devices like cell phones and I-phones.

In fact I should confuse that facebook is drives me crazy. I actually waste more than two hours per day on it.

Of course facebook have many advantages on our teenagers life, but it also has many disadvantages on their life’s too. Teenagers are the base of our future, so when our teenagers are full with bad habits, I think that the future will be very darkly for them, because the base is not qualify to face it.

Since the face book has been developed our teenagers developed by the negative effect of facebook. Facebook is include many contempt topics such as missing with religions, sexual topics. Those topics makes the teenagers non-stable and confused them and make them hate each others, also it insert the hostility in them. So I think facebook administration should be attentive with the topics that is published on the site.

Causes:

As a teenage facebook will waste your time by spending most of your times on it everyday doing a silly things such as reading your friends status messages and try to comment on every one stats. Then you will download pictures of your self, your friends, your family, etc. Also one of the wasting things to tag the faces of your friends and add a comment on a photo. After all of that you will chose the picture that will be your profile picture for this day. Also you will spend hours by looking to your friends pictures and to leave a funny comment for them on every picture. There are a lot of games on your facebook account are available, so most of your time will be spending in playing with your friends instate of doing your homework.

Once you sign in facebook you will be naked to the world. So for getting information about any person this person will get it easily. It will be easy to left atrabilious comment on any of your pictures, your family pictures, etc. Today most of businesses have an advertisements for job on facebook, so if you are searching for job you will find a lot of companies on face book just fill the application, so you will write your full name, your address, your mobile number, your nationality, your home town, they able to see your information, your personal information, your pictures, and if you are single or married, and when you finish the applications you may implicated yourself with robbers or killers or any one else.

Facebook users such as thieves may also know your full information from your car’s license so they can identify you without asking you to give them your information.

There are also many topics and subjects that make you confuse and to try to change your mind or your ideas about something, because facebook is one of the most famous tool using to describe any things. So some topics try to take you away form your religion and try to make you not contractor on your religion tasks, so these topics will cut your relation with god if you accept it or if you read it or listen to it. There are also other topics that moved you to contempt with other religions, all its targets is to prevalence the mesmerize in special communities.

Facebook is one of the tool that reduced the advanced technology of the teenagers, because facebook stopped our mind about thinking. it just want us to be dupe and passive. When teenager spend a lot of time on facebook he she will not be able to study enough or to answer his her assignments. So our teenagers will not be able to participate the whole world the advanced technology, because teenagers will just think about what they gone do today on facebook and ask themselves ” which pictures should I upload to my profile? “.

Teenagers also will be busy enough on face book and that prevents him / her from seeing their parents and whats they want from you. So when they grow up they will be selfish and they will love to be alone.

One of the most important reason of the negative effect of facebook on teenagers that teenagers will learn bad synonyms from their other friends comments or from strangers people comments on pictures or in friends statuses, and they may also saw illegal pictures that published plenty on facebook those days.

Questionnaire results:

Solutions:

Our parents should be restriction their children to set on face book for specific (time for a while). Also they have to helo us for doing something else like learning , reading or having sports like swimming , playing football something that waste your time in beneficial way.

Also teenagers should appoint the information that belong to them. I don’t mean that they should canceled all the information that belong to them, but I just want to explain that they should annulled the most important information that can causes them many problems such as make murders or thieves attention to them, these important information may be like particular address, particular personal information.

Parents should conscious their teenagers from the illegal topics that their teenagers expected to found on facebook such as the topics which contempt with religions. So parents should conscious them by inform them their religions instructions, and by insert the good habits in themselves.

Also parents should conscious their teenagers to the important of the proceeding technology and how it helps the world to move forward. So parents should make their teenagers know that nothing can disable them and push them away from the way of the advanced technology, because the expected future will hundred percent depend on the advanced technology only and nothing else, and also to make them helps their countries to reach to the advanced countries around the world and match this countries.

The parents should teach their teenagers the good habits when they too young to be with them forever and avoid the dirty words that they will find it the comments on face book so they will never remember the bad words or even write it..

Teenagers shouldn’t have to upload any pictures of the family because its privacy and no one should see my parents because sometimes people who don’t have nothing to do, only setting on face book for adding a bad comments of my family pictures. So from the first I don’t have to put pictures to give a chance to anyone to add a dirty comments ,so please try to don’t upload any picture of your family again.

Regrettably most of families didn’t notice to their teenagers. A lot of parents work with two shifts and when they go back home, they were so tired and don’t want to talk to their teenagers all they want to chill out and eat then sleep and the other days with the same routine , So they will not be having attention to their children.

Conclusion:

The last but not least, some of fact I think that the teenagers are prone to acting on their emotions so they can’t control themselves. They are also prone to acting under peer pressure, because they want to be more popular or just they want to talk to everyone else their own age. The teen years are very susceptible to insurgence, mainly because this is what the see every where. With TV channels and popular teen magazines. These channels and magazines may not be all bad, but the most of it are certainly have negative aspects that effect on teenagers.

So I can describe the consequences of the negative effect of facebook on teenagers as:

a- Lead to unsociable behavior in teenagers.

b- Lead to poor academic performance.

c- Lead to shortening.

d- Increase racial in teenagers mind.

e- Desensitize teenagers to hard acts.
