Facebook question #8

#8: Facebook effects school because of how easy it is to access it during school. The majority of kids now have cell phones with internet access. They can easily be distracted but socializing on and off whenever they feel like it. The majority of schools today have computers with internet access which makes it even easier for kids to access Facebook. It is is a little harder to do so in high school or middle school because now schools are blocking websites but in college they are not. Students can go on Facebook whenever they please which makes it that much easier to procrastinate. Facebook Effects work but not as much as it does school. Only times Facebook may effect ones job is if they are on Facebook while they should be working or posting inappropriate things on Facebook that ruin the reputation of the job or company they work for.

 "The problem has grown so great that dealing with the fallout has become a major part of many school counsellors’ jobs." (Dannielle Miller)

"...some bullies harass their targets with a barrage of instant messages, like ‘Everyone hates you,’ or ‘You are a loser.’" (Wylie (n.d.))
