Facebook just keeps on expanding and today most children have their own account and spend a lot of their time on it. It’s true that it’s a big influence on young people lives, but studies have suggested that Facebook has a much bigger influence on girls than boys. This is because 40% of girls aged from 8 to 15 said that Facebook was one of the most important things in their lives.

Although Facebook is very popular, the amount of time spent on this social networking site could be hindering not only a child’s family life but also their education as they spend less time on home work and more time networking with friends. Only time will tell if it a true hindrance as Facebook is set to be around for a long time to come.
