Facebook blamed: For kids’ low exam grades?

Facebook Fever in kids
Facebook fever has bitten almost everybody and the most affected are the children, aged 12 to 17. The youth is not interested in going outdoors and socializing with real friends, instead they are happy in their small virtual world. Lack of physical activities and gluing to their computer screen has bought many changes in these new age children. Most of the parents do not even know, what is their child up to and how much time is he spending on the internet. Because of this Facebook mania, the studies of the youth have gone for a toss. People are getting addicted to social networking sites like Facebook, Twitter, Myspace etc.
According to a recent survey, Two-third of the parents has held responsible the social networking sites, like Facebook, for their children’s low grades. They claim their children are so addicted to Facebook, that they are not able to concentrate on their studies and more inclined towards chatting with their friends.
Children between 12 to 17 years want to be updated about every change on Facebook and do not use the internet for studying purpose.
If we look at the daily report, then half of the children spend their time on various social networking sites like Facebook, Twitter, or Myspace; 40 percent like to listen to music on the internet and only 16 percent is interested in using internet as a medium for helping out with their studies.
In a recent survey, when 4,427 parents were quizzed regarding their children’s internet usage, half of them did not even know what their children do on the internet and how much are they devoting towards their studies.
76 percent Parents are so much fed up with these social networking sites and seeing their children’s studies suffer, that they want to take the responsibility of putting a restriction on home computers.
The famous broadband provider Talktalk is preparing to launch a system that allows the parents to see and restrict what their child does on the internet. According to this system, the parents would be able to create homework time on the internet, when all the social networking sites would be blocked and the children will have no other options than concentrating on their studies.
Teachers have also confirmed the effect of these social networking sites on the students and blame it for their poor concentration. They say that either they do not complete their homework, because of spending time on these sites; or if they do, the quality of work is very poor, as they are in a rush to complete and then chat with their friends on these websites.
These networking sites have really made this world an oyster, but too much of everything is bad. Children are our future and these social networking sites will do them no good. They need to understand, that they live in a real world and not everything that they see in this virtual world may be real.
