What are some of the problems that you face as teenager as a result of Social Networking? This would include using social networking sites, like Facebook and Twitter, Instant Messaging, SMS and or Text Messaging. How does interacting 24/7 affect the way you think and communicate? Does social media affect your school work in a positive or negative way? Do you agree or disagree with the author of this article that Social Networking affects both your writing skills and social manners? What do you think? Make sure to defend your position.

- As a teenager the main problem we face as a result of social networking is the inability to focus on other assignments that we due when on the computer. even then now they have it so notifications come straight to our cellphones. It only causes a huge distraction that we never achieve the goal of completing our homework. We always find ourselves on Facebook checking for notifications, checking our mail, instant messaging, and writing on other peoples walls.
Social networking does affect our school work in mostly a negative way. You find students on phones in the middle of class on Facebook risking getting their phones taken just to check a few messages. Facebook preoccupies a majority of all teenagers as they frantically find a way to waste their time on the computer. Also on social networks, almost everybody uses "slang" and never spell correctly. This takes a negative affect on our school work because we begin to write like we text. No teacher will accept work with words like "skool" "txt" or "wats upp".
I agree with the author that Social Networking affects both your writing skills and social manners.
