Facebook ,teen,adults,and students

A new study from California State University, Dominguez Hills released Monday found that spending too much time on Facebook may lead people to suffer psychologically, according to a release from the American Psychological Association.
That’s according to Larry Rosen, a psychologist at Cal State Dominguez Hills who’s been studying the effect of technology on people for more than 25 years. Recently, he’s done several studies on how the social networking site affects children. He made his case Saturday at the American Psychological Assn.’s annual convention in Washington, D.C. on Saturday.
While social networking site Facebook was created to help people connect with their friends, increasing research in the effect of social media on human interaction is painting a different picture -- one that features the development of antisocial behavior, narcissism and a slew of other character flaws and negative by-products.
It's so interesting yet so utterly unsurprising that the views of what to do after your breakup can be so different. Breaking up is hard! It's even harder now since there's so much 'physical' (as in, documentable) evidence of your relationship online.

Can we really expect young kids in young relationships to act like adults? Can we even expect ourselves to 'act like adults'? What does that even mean?
Students who use more technology are likely to miss more school.
The more teens and adults use Facebook, the more likely they are to also use alcohol.
Students from junior high through college age were observed to generally check social networks or text messages every few minutes while studying, leading to lower test performance than students who focus for longer periods of time.

Facebooking teens tend to show more narcissistic tendencies while young adults who have a strong Facebook presence show more signs of other psychological disorders, including antisocial behaviors, mania and aggressive tendencies.

 Daily overuse of media and technology makes children, preteens and teenagers anxious and depressed.
Facebook can be distracting and can negatively impact learning. Studies found that middle school, high school and college students who checked Facebook at least once during a 15-minute study period achieved lower grades.
Teens who are heavy gamers or Facebook users have more trouble sleeping, higher levels of anxiety, depression, and stomach aches.
Young adults and teens who spend their days inside Facebook are more narcissistic and show more signs of other psychological disorders, including antisocial behaviors, mania, and aggressive tendencies.

Poonam Pandey "going nude in private with consenting adults for atherapeutic purpose"

MUMBAI: Model Poonam Pandey, who has threatened to do a full Monty for the Indian cricket team if the men in blue win, switched off her cellphone on Saturday when India won the World Cup. Sources say the 20-year-old model was being inundated with calls from people either begging her to strip for them or threatening her with dire consequences should she dare go against Indian culture. A defiant Pandey, however, had told TOI on Thursday that if BCCI gives her the permission to strip, she would go ahead with her plans. "Threats don't bother me," she had said. But the model may be facing arrest after R K Pandey filed a case against her in a Bhopal court. The BJP women's wing has also written to the Mumbai police commissioner Arup Patnaik to take action against her. On Friday, Pandey issued a letter to the BCCI about her plans: "I write to you as a great fan of cricket and above all a patriotic Indian. I want India to win the Cricket World Cup 2011, and I am wil...
