They may spend all their time in facebook, not having a meal as well as not going for a walk. They may wait for their weekend only to chat in facebook with mates, reading new wall updates, photos and commenting upon them.

Investigations disclosed, that teenagers as well as children are considerably prone tofacebook dependence. There are different matters for this. Facebook is a field where each user may express himself, make new buddies, upload their pictures, send and accept friend requests and messages. If a kid or adolescent has an active profile, that includes a lot of friends, numerous beautiful pictures and not less bright titles for them, the kid or youngster relish his pastime there. Nevertheless, if a kid or juvenile does not have any messages from the buddies, his photos are not commented and his friend offers are not approved, this will provoke the sense of loneliness, which then may turn into depression. In addition, other children or adolescents can communicate a lot of time in facebook, being more successful there than in a day-to-day life.

It is utmost significant to give an eye to your kid, if you understand that he spends more time at computer than with the fellows. The indications of this kind of depression are visible in a while. If you observe that your kid doesn’t have appetite, tells you about the headache as well as abdominal pain, it is worth to pay attention to these signs. Endeavor to find him an occupation, go more outside, let him participate in sports. Generally, a kid or adolescents must be involved in definite activities, which may prevent him from social networking dependence.

Really, theses are not social network services by themselves, which induce injury to the psychical health of some group of users. In every activity, in any field of the life there must be a balance, as if there is not a limit any good thing may turn to be harmful.
