     Today in society social medias hold great influence, if not complete control in some cases, on our life's. In our every growing and advancing life's social medias such as Facebook, Twitter, and Myspace have grown to be a thing of normalcy and complacence, but the question that begs to be answered is when is it to much?

     When we spend more time interacting with people on Facebook rather than real life, when we're inside in the dark trolling friends online rather than enjoying the outdoors, when we let the content of theses sites to greatly affect our moods or decisions when they should clearly stay where they are on the Internet. Recently a study was conducted by Humboldt University in Berlin and Technical University in Demisted on the effects of Facebook on our moods, one effect observed within this study was how "women were more likely to obsess over physical appearance and social standing" in response to others posts or comments. In my personal experience this is especially true, I couldn't tell you how many times I've seen a fight break out because of something someone said on Facebook or because they were jealous of their looks in pictures they had taken and posted on Facebook.

    While it's true envy is a natural thing, but people who are so engrossed by these social networks it becomes worse according to the study. Also another interesting detail came up during this study on how those who read through others post but never really posted them selves began to show signs of depression. This is defiantly when you know that you've past the point of too much and should take a few steps back into non-digitized reality. Spending so much time following the life's of others of course they're depressed, there not out living their own lives. So while social networking is alright in moderation, we mustn't let it dictate our lives and instead go out and live them ourselves.

     Everyone can relate to this article because most teenagers my age go on social medias such as Facebook, Twitter, and Myspace and some times you can see a girl/boy that is more attrative then you are and it can lower your self esstem and when that happens, somtimes it can lead to other unheathly things. 

     Facebook and other social networking cant hurt everyone, even drive them to suicide, like in some cases. Hurting people for your own good is wrong and that is when I think it becomes to much. Nothing and no one should drive someone to suicide, or bully them. Everyone is unique in there own way, getting mad because you don’t look like someone shouldn’t happen. Everyone is great the way they are.
