    Introduction

    Social networking sites, most notably Facebook have become to popular

    Today that they are leading words on the lips of every students. You love to spend

    most of your time checking your facebook updates, but do you know that there are

    many negative effects of using facebook?

    Most of the students don’t realize the negative effects impacts of Facebook on

    their life. And, the main reason is because they are already addicted to it. And, this

    addiction can lead to severalnegative developments.

    The main purpose of this paper is to suggest some ways of minimizing the bad

    impacts of Facebook to students and to show you the negative effects of this social

    networking sites on students’ behavior and performance. This research also focused

    on finding ways to enhance students’motivation and improve their achievements, yet

    without looking closely at the source for their demotivation or academic failures.
    Significance of The Study

    The emergence of different social networking sites which started in the early nineties, has
    affected the lives of people. These websites offer services wherein one can make an online
    identity that can be shared with other people.

    Also, through these websites, one can strengthen existing relationships or create new relations
    with people of the same activities, interests and background.

    Because these sites are internet or web based, it is much easier for the users to interact or
    socialize with their fellow users.

    And since it’s first launch in the early nineties, these sites have now evolved and have become
    popular worldwide. With this, the rapid growth of users imply that more people are getting
    “addicted” to it, most especially adolescents or teens.

    Because past researchers focused on the general definition of Internet Addiction, the researchers
    wanted to develop a test or assessment that specifically measured the susceptibility or the
    tendency of adolescents to be addicted to social networking sites especially Facebook.

    With this, the researchers came up the Facebook Addiction Susceptibility Test (FAST), a paper
    and pencil self-administered projective test.

    The researchers believe that such assessment too is not only timely but also important for the
    present and future generations of Facebook users because it will help them assess their own
    internet use behavior.
