Social networking has taken the world by storm in the last few years. But, like any technological wonder, it has its drawbacks. And these drawbacks outweigh all its benefits.

Students spend considerable time on social networking sites every day. This distracts them from their studies and prevents them from socializing with people in real life. Even worse, social media websites are frequently used for cyberbullying and posting hateful comments. We cannot let our children fall prey to so much negativity and hatred.

The only way to protect the younger generation is to have a law that prevents children and teenagers from accessing such sites. So write a letter to your federal and state lawmakers urging them to bring about a change.
