addicted to Facebook and end up wasting precious time. Time waits for no men;

serious matter that needs to be taken into consideration. In addition to that,
due to this addiction the grades of students can be misleading because of the
hours spent on Facebook and not on education. Furthermore, one of the many
fights in most of the relationship occurs because of the Facebook relationship
statues. This is highly a sensitive issue when a couple is in a relationship

reduce the disadvantages caused by Facebook. Let Facebook be a beneficial social
networking site and not be otherwise.
