Teens and Facebook could seem not a good blend in terms of its physcological effects.
According to a new study by the American Psychological Association at California State University, too much time spent on Facebook may lead people to suffer psychologically.
Among the adverse effects:
1. Teens who are heavy gamers or Facebook users have more trouble sleeping, higher levels of anxiety, depression, and stomach aches.
2. Young adults and teens who spend their days inside Facebook are more narcissistic and show more signs of other psychological disorders, including antisocial behaviors, mania, and aggressive tendencies.
3. Students who use more technology are likely to miss more school.
4. The more teens and adults use Facebook, the more likely they are to also use alcohol.
5. Students from junior high through college age were observed to generally check social networks or text messages every few minutes while studying, leading to lower test performance than students who focus for longer periods of time.
6. The average teen sends 2000 texts per month, which can lead to problems communicating with family and even carpal tunnel syndrome in a few cases.
