**Facebook at School For and Against**

** ﻿ ** Students SHOULDN'T  be allow

using Facebook

 Facebook is something that is blocked from a school website and that's because it is not good for kids. Facebook can let you meet someone that doesn't have the best intention. Facebook is not the best thing for kids. It should not be allowed at school because it is not educational. Kids can be mean. They can lose the blessing of actually getting to be in school. They can post nonsense and get expelled. Facebook is not the best thing for kids.

 Students shouldn't be allow using Facebook. Facebook wouldn't help them with anything. First Lady Michelle Obama even says that Facebook shouldn't be allowed. Her kids don't even use Facebook. For some people Facebook is their life and they got nothing good for their future. Facebook ruins people's life. If you stay on Facebook too long and the computer's radiation will ruin your eyes. Facebook can ruin your health by delaying meal times because "you are still chatting and uploading pictures".

 Facebook can cause mental and emotional problems. Someone can insult someone that can lead up to someone getting depression. Which might lead them to suicide. Suicide is something that can end someone's life but it would be the person's fault since he/she ended his/her life because of someone's opinion of them. Facebook is a social network that allows you to meet new people, dating someone that is your type but don't know them that much. Social networks are bad because the people you meet will have a different attitude than you thought they did when you first chatted with them. Which will soon lead up to many problems.

 I don't think Facebook is the best thing, but it can also help kids' self-esteem. Facebook allows kids to keep up with current friends and make new ones. When used in the right way, social media can increase a child’s self-esteem and help them feel less isolated. Facebook can help someones social health. A Facebook page gives a child their own “home page” on the web, where they can express themselves and talk about their interests. They can join groups and support fan pages, and find out what other people are interested in.

<span style="font-family: Verdana,Geneva,sans-serif; font-size: 16px; line-height: 23px;"> Facebook should be allowed for students to use during school. Facebook allows you connect with friends and also connect with new friends. It also allows you to post whatever you want to say like when your angry, sad, happy, and etc. This website also helps students chat with each other about their homework, problems, drama, and/or any other problems. You see, Facebook should be allow for students to use during school!

<span style="color: #000000; font-family: Verdana,Geneva,sans-serif; font-size: 120%;"> Facebook helps kids to build up their social skills. They can connect with their friends from other schools. <span style="font-family: Verdana,Geneva,sans-serif; font-size: 16px; line-height: 23px;">Facebook allows kids to keep up with current friends and make new ones. When used in the right way, social media can increase a child's self-esteem and help them feel less isolated. Which they can't do since it is blocked from school websites. School websites can not connect with their friends during their their free time at school because it is not allowed.

<span style="font-family: Verdana,Geneva,sans-serif; font-size: 16px; line-height: 23px;"> Facebook allows you to post things that you want your friends to know or post things that is on your mind. A Facebook page gives a child their own "home page" on the web, where they can express themselves and talk about their interest. They can join groups and support fan pages, and find out what other people are interested in. When their friends see their post, they can ask what's wrong or do you need help and they can solve or help him/her. This gives them an opportunity to get together as friends and solve it so they don't have to deal with it.

<span style="font-family: Verdana,Geneva,sans-serif; font-size: 16px; line-height: 23px;">Facebook will benefit them with their educational development. A majority of teens use social networking to discuss school work. Shared discussions about school assignments is one of the best reasons to access to networks. Students can ask for help with their friends. They can have a better improvement at school because their friends will help one another with their questions. This is another reason why Facebook should not be blocked.

<span style="font-family: Verdana,Geneva,sans-serif; font-size: 16px; line-height: 23px;">As you can see, students will have good advantages using Facebook during school. This site is a good opportunity for students to build social skills, educational skills and more. This is a site where everyone can connect together as friends and stay close. See there is nothing wrong using Facebook as long as its used properly. Facebook should be a good social site for students. Facebook should be unblock from school sites!
