Why social networking should not be for kids under 18?

Facebook is a very addicting site that obviously causes everyone to go on this website as soon as they power there computers. Children under 16 or even below this age have very important education to learn, and they have to concentrate in it. This site causes people, or more like preteens, to spend hours doing nothing but looking at pictures of other friends/family or commenting, subscribing, and other things that are to do on this site. My advice to people would be that don't let your children create a Facebook at an early age. This will not just cause them to ruin there education process, but also, it will waste a lot of time from them. MySpace would be doing the same thing.

What I am trying to explain is that children/preteens spend so much time in these things that they start to forget about other things that are very much more important. I hope parents who are reading this realize what an impact it can make in a child's/preteens life. Hopefully this helped you to understand!
