First of all, social networks have a negative influence because their addictive. For example, on the Bill Cunningham show this girl was addicted to facebook she had to go 48 hours without status update and not logging into this social network. Within the first hour she called her best friend and asked her to access her page. This demonstrates that she was addicted to this particular and familiar social network.
Secondly, social networks has a negative influence because there are a lot of cyber bully's. For example, there was a video about a 12 year old girl giving oral sex to a boy behind her local grammar school on Facebook. The rumor was was that she so embarrassed she killed herself. This shows that social networks can have a negative influence it also can be deadly.
Thirdly, social networks have a negative influence because your information can be shared.For example, their was a reported case on Myspace. A local teen had shared her email on this site. Some predator went on Google and soon discovered were she lived. He seen her walking home on a snowy day and raped her. This shows that social networks have a negative and deadly influence because the wrong person can get your information.
In essence, social networks have a negative influence because they can be addictive, have cyber bully's, and your information can be shared. This shows that local teen sites can be deadly, and dangerous. So next time you decide to make an account beware of the consequences.
