You seem to have missed the point that if someone is addicted to something, then you can't sit down and have a rational discussion about it all. These days we don't just have teenagers addicted to Facebook we have whole families addicted to the internet. And we are creating generations of dysfunctional adults who believe that their lives are so scintillating and amazing that we all want to know they went to a cafe or whatever. This addiction is affecting their social skills as they turn to Facebook to meet their needs for falidation, affection and belonging, needs that families are failing to provide. My neice is addicted to Facebook and it has had catastrophic consequences in her life. I have just realized that she would rather live in what I would say would be an unsuitable situation with a father who is also addicted to the internet and brother and sister who are also addicted then start a new life living on a farm with her grandparents who are her only hope, her last refuge, because Facebook brings out a bullying, aggressive side of a girl who will steal and lie to a sweet likeable and intelligent girl when she is deprived of this evil thing. Reading this article has really helped me a lot because it has shown me that I don't want to give even the smallest amount of my time anymore to this most evil technology. Thanks sincerely for that.

Instead, a day-off might do us some good. Tuesday seems like a good day for that. Who’s with us? http://nofacebooktuesdays.com Since leaving Facebook is so hard, we figured – why bother?
