I plan to discuss in my project the negative effect that social network sites have on teens. Most social networking sites give you the option to display your circle of friends on your own website. This creates a lot of pressure for teens who feel the need to be included. Being rejected by a friend or by the in crowd at school can be humiliating because, everyone has access to these web sites and this will make a teen feel exclude from his/her surroundings.
Another negative reaction being caused by the social networking sites is the lack of proper grammar being used on them by teenagers. The internet is very fast paced and teens have developed language shortcuts to be able to communicate on these social networks. However, these shortcuts have made their way into their education. Many teachers have complained of the improper grammars used such as; u instead of you and many other phrases that show up in high school term papers.
