YOUR CHILD SHOULDN`T HAVE A FACEBOOK

As the years passed, technology has created advances to the

lives of people which frankly children have become very accustomed in using in
their daily lives. Gadgets and different social medias have all been created over
time to make our lives easier and more efficiently. The effect that technology
has on our children has brought on some concerns and some praises. It
becomes alarming because children nowadays have no choice but being
influenced by the growing social media in front of our eyes. The bold example of
it is the usage of Facebook by the young children and it is alarming not just for
the parents but also for the society.

Many of them have been engaged to this social media without

knowing that it slowly killing them. I believe that kids under twelve years old
shouldn`t have Facebook accounts yet they don`t have enough experience to
use that website and at the same time the mind of the children are full of
innocence and they are not fully aware on how to socialize from other people.
In this early age they might experience the case of Cyber bullying because it is
a typical type of online harassment and I do believe cyber bullying must be
stopped. This is a violation of private rights and it can destroy someone`s life.

According to the National Crime Victimization Survey Data, an

estimated of 2.2 million of the students has experienced cyber bullying in 2011
and it`s really alarming because it can cause depression, lose their self-esteems
and which usually causes of suicide. Aside from that, it can also cause
distractions for their studies like if they have assignments or homeworks they
usually check their Facebook accounts first instead of doing their priorities.

In that young age they must focus on their studies than to be

active on social media. Some of the youth nowadays they usually choose or
focus on social media to become famous or just to be in trend. It must be a
calling for the parent`s out there to guide all your loved ones and most
especially, your child could avoid the bad effects of having a Facebook. Lastly,
prevention is better than cure. People should start realizing that the power is in
their hands to prevent the early usage and exposure of the children to the
dangerous effects of social medias to them. Let us be the guide of the children
for them to be on the right track in fulfilling the brightest futures ahead of them.
