Social networks-Kaylin C.

Social networks, in my opinion, have had an overall negative effect on society. Yeah, you can stay in touch with people and all that junk , but that's what phones, paper, and pens are for. You tend to lose that personal, face-to-face connection that's nessesary to grow all relationships. I'm not talkin' like the "Hey, we should hang out, bla, bla, bla" or whatever, I'm talkin the when people only "talk" on facebook but don't say didly when they see them anywhere else. The other thing is the safty issue. There are a lot of freaks out there who prey on young people. Kids are dumb though too, and post all this information about themselves and talk to some creeper-mugee who they don't know. That leads to trouble as well. So I'd say, overall, social networking sites are just a poopie idea.
