Originally the Three undergraduate psychology students surveyed 61 college students and found that students who use the social networking site generally have lower GPAs than those who don’t. Facebook users also display more neurotic behaviors, such as anxiety, depression, anger and impulsivity, the students report. The study purports that social networking may actually be “anti-social” behavior. Now numerous studies have been made from other University's trying to proven this actuation.
- This article was defiantly a mind opening one. Facebook is widely use not only in colleges and university's throughout the world but now are starting to be used by high school student, parents as well as colleague. If something so simple as a website can alter our mine what other things can are we subjecting our mines too.

This is very interesting, and true! It's very interesting how what is supposed to be a "social site" promotes anti-social behavior! Idle time on the internet is a big factor in low grads in college. Its sad, people can be doing better things with their lives besides "creeping" on facebook.
