Facebook addiction
I always have a long list of homework assignments to do and they end up getting pushed back to late Sunday nights when my brain just wants sleep. Example, waiting until 11pm to type up my Youthvoices post. I realize one of the reasons for my failure at time managment in life is facebook. Especially browsing through all the prom pictures and talking with friends, facebook is consciously becoming a scary addiction. I won't deny it, i check it daily. A few of my friends have farms on farmville and it's tragic when you lose a cow or your crops begin to die. Facebook is another world that's engulfing many minds of this world.

I try to imagine how much time I'd have if I didn't have facebook. I'd probably have better grades and a longer attention span. Currently I'm itching to check my facebook, maybe that's why my post is so short. Or maybe its because im tired and i have senioritus and facebook addiction. Does anyone face similar issues or am I a lonely addict?

Alli, You are definitely
Alli,
You are definitely not the only addict! I think I speak for every high school teenager in America when I say that. Facebook is a craze around our high school, and it is simply doing nothing but wasting time for all of us. The growing addiction of teenagers across America is getting out of hand, and I really think it is going to be a huge problem in a few years. Facebook is an incredible thing, yes, but it has to have limits and I think everyone should work on controlling facebook, not having facebook control us.
Thanks for the post!
