Excessive use of sites like Facebook can also lead to poorer academic
performance. Teenagers who checked social networks at least once during a 15
minute study period, achieved lower grades, scientists found.

However, Rosen’s study also found that social networking had some positive
effects . Sites like Facebook can help shy young adults socialise and come
out of their shell. And the services can be used effectively for interactive
learning and helping teenagers empathise with each other.

Science Daily, an online science journal, said
that Rosen encouraged parents to assess their children’s activities on
social networks and discuss with them any decisions to remove inappropriate
content – rather than going behind their back.
