Cell Phones

Cell phones are a great device to use in your everyday life until you abuse the situation. They are good for contacting your friends or family, by phoning them or texting them but a lot of negative things come from cell phones. For example, addiction, car accidents, sleep loss and increased expenses. If you come addicted to using your cell phone, you may have a problem putting it down, therefore if your phone rings while you're driving, you might feel obligated to pick it up and may cause an accident. Cell phones can also cause a lot of debt. If you abuse your cell phone, you can run up your bill. From personal experience, I know how it works. When I first got a cell phone, I ran up my bill to $1000. How? Because you don't think about when your calling is free, how many texts you send or recieve and after a month, it adds up.

Facebook vs School Work

When it comes down to doing hours of homework, or chatting with your friends about new gossip on Facebook, what will you choose? In my opinion, Facebook is taking over teenagers. For example, when in a school computer lab, 90% of people will have a tab that reads "Facebook" on it and instead of starting/finishing a project, playing Farmville or checking up on the latest pictures is most important. In highschool, most teachers will tell you to get off Facebook, whether you do or not, is your choice. When you reach college or university, the professors don't care if you play on Facebook while he/she is teaching and this causes students not to pay attention, flunk out or just not come in general. Is it really worth throwing away your education for something that you can do on your own time? If you can be addicted to alcohol, drugs or gambling, you can be addicted to a website. Addiction is considered a bad thing, and if you have one, counselling is there for you. Therefore, I think I'm going to become a millionaire and become a FAC(Facebook Addiction Counsellor) because I believe there are too many people that spend their days on Facebook, get off your butt and do something productive! :)
