Facebook was created in 2004, Facebook was reported to have more than 21 million registered members, generating 1.6 billion pages views" In 2010 more than a billion of people have facebook accounts all over the world. Teenagers & Adults would be on facebook at least 3 to 4 times a day. Have you ever wondered if being on facebook is healthy? No, being on facebook or on other social websites can cause an unhealthy habit that causes issues in your daily life. It can destroy your real social life, being addicted to facebook can cause health issues, and start stalking other "friends" profiles every day.
