Bad Effect of
Facebook on Young Generation
Mabrur Atiqi, Dhaka, 04 November: Facebook is one of the greatest
social media in recent times, but it is not free from the bad impacts, which
are degrading millions of young people including teenagers morally. According
to Larny D. Rosen, Professor of Psychology at California State University, the
effects of social media are becoming more and more visible. Some of their
findings suggest that the more time spent on Facebook is related to a greater
tendency towards narcissistic behaviors among teenagers.
Also,
it has been discovered that young adults who spend excessive amount of time on
Facebook show more signs of other psychological disorders, including antisocial
behaviors, mania, and aggressive tendencies. Additionally, studies have
revealed that excessive daily use of social media can negatively affect the
health of children, parents, and teenagers alike as they are more prone to
anxiety, depression, and other psychological disorders as well as more
susceptible to future general health problems.
Furthermore,
school grades suffer much when students spend too much time on Facebook as
their valuable study time is lost. Besides, some studies suggest that so-called
teenage "hyper social networkers" are more likely to engage in risky
behaviors, such as smoking, drinking, drug use, fighting and promiscuity. It is
a matter of great concern that the young generation of the underdeveloped and
developing countries are gradually being addicted to social media especially
Facebook.
However, none of us know the later impact
of Facebook on our future young generation of developing countries like
Bangladesh. So, our parents must be conscious about the use of social media by
their teenage boys and girls.
