Facebook encourages bad behaviour


A new survey conducted by the RAC has revealed that 21 per cent of drivers admit to checking their social network accounts while driving.

Facebook, Twitter and Bebo are undermining moral development by encouraging children to spread gossip and insults

Facebook have been shown as a new way for teachers to flirt with students; 3 teachers have now been fired for having inappropriate dealings with students on facebook


A police officer shot and killed his 13-year-old daughter then turned the gun on himself after a row over posts she had made on Facebook.


A beaten up teenager posted his final thoughts on Facebook, unaware he was dying.
In a string of haunting messages, Cameron Lowe described his pain and confusion at being bashed just hours before falling into a coma.


Bishop Pete Broadbent  has been supsended from his job after posting offensive comments on facebook claiming that Prince Williams and Kate Middletons marriage would only last for 7 years, he also refered to Prince Charles & Dianas marriage in the posts. This shows how if you choose to be on Social networking sites such as facebook then you must realise how much people will find out about you, and how little privacy you will have.


Former Gills target Marvin Morgan has been placed on the transfer list at Aldershot after a rant on Twitter at some of the club's supporters, in which he said that he hoped they died. This shows how easy it is for people to post their opinions and feelings on social networking sites without thinking of the consequences, and shows how he audiences can be offended by these comments.

Courtney Love, who has become famous for her Twitter tirades is being sued by fashion designer Dawn Simorangkir for defamation of character, after she branded her a prostitute and a thief. This is another example of how people use twitter as a release of their anger and emotions, but don’t realise how many people see this and how offensive it can be!

It has been shown that facebook now encourages eating disorders in young girls. This is because the two main factors that influence eating disorders; self empowerment and exposure to the media, are two things that facebook and other social networking sites help to do. This fits in with the hyperdermic needle theory.
