A recent study has shown how Facebook may be causing psychological disorder amongst teens. I don’t find this very hard to believe…

“Some of the negative side effects of Facebook use for teens that Rosen cited include:

• Development of narcissism in teens who often use Facebook;
• Presence of other psychological disorders, including antisocial behaviors, mania and aggressive tendencies, in teens who have a strong Facebook presence;
• Increased absence from school and likelihood of developing stomach aches, sleeping problems, anxiety and depression, in teens who “overdose” in technology on a daily basis, including Facebook and video games;
• Lower grades for middle school, high school and college students who checked Facebook at least once during a 15-minute study period;
• Lower reading retention rates for students who most frequently had Facebook open on their computers during the 15-minute study period.”
