The modern era has taken its pace. The whole world has been revolutionized with the availability of internet services at a very cheap rate. This has lead to the creation of such a world where we can't even imagine life without social networking sites. Out of all, the most successful & user friendly social networking site is 'Facebook'.

The credit definitely goes to Mark Zukerberg for constructing such a multi-storied building having several floors of videos, pictures, comments, likes/dislikes, entertainment, sharing, relationship etc. it could definitely be called as a big achievement for mankind. It has served as a bridge in maintaining our friendship or relationship with the one who once were our friends and worked with us but now living far away from our reach. It provides us with a platform to share our sweet memories in the form of pictures & videos. The working and managing 'Facebook' is very simple. One has to become its user and maintain his/her profile. Rest is all based on sending and conforming friend requests. Not only that, it is very much suitable for online text and videos video chatting along with posting our favorites.

Now the question arises, why its craze is being observed mostly among the youths? The prominent reason behind this is their young age. Their power of self decision making or more precisely differentiating between good & bad is vanish. They believe that whatever they are doing, it's correct. All my readers would have definitely seen children using their mobile phones while walking along the streets. What do they do? Online on Facebook, chatting using SMS, posting tweets and many more. After attending their coaching classes, they come walking on their feet, right from the classes to their home. However, most of the schools have banned cell phones inside the campus for studying students but at this tender age of adolescence these habits are rising among the youths at a very fast rate. This leads to the start of the list of ill-effects of 'Facebook' which is being blamed ultimately by the people for all such happenings.

The students are losing their concentration in studies. This has given rise to their poor academic performance. They even express their pain against the result but it lasts just in a fraction of seconds. But they should not forget that by doing so they are fooling themselves and destroying their future. It is not going to affect the life of their parents rather their own career. Secondly, unwanted clips and pictures are being posted which ultimately hampers their personality and behavior. It leads to a loss in their manners and proper attitude towards their elders. It also gives birth to bad habits such as working on computers till late nights, funky hairstyles which is better known as 'fashion' in this modern era. Facebook provides a room to enjoy with everyone. Anyone could be made our friend even if we don't know him. We don't care but it's quite harmful for us. Once while going through the newspaper I came across an incident where an Indian military man went to Russia for official work. When he came back, he became a Facebook friend of a known lady of Russia. After being a good and faithful friend, she started collecting secret information about Indian military by misguiding the Indian via Facebook. Finally, inquiry was done and the correct information was extracted out. I don't know whether the incident was really true or not.

We have been vested with the power to use 'Facebook' according to our own will. Now, it depends on us whether we are really using Facebook for our well being or signing a contract for enjoy the burden of huge workload. Therefore, it's my appeal to all my readers especially children that, it is the deciding time for your life. If you will excel today, you will see a bright future or hence, a dark one.
