X-Box versus Facebook

Facebook junky compared to x-box junky. Addiction is always there when something makes you feel good. The comparison is between a lonely housewife and a teenage child. One has communication through their facebook. The other through playing games but can communicate with friends through x-box live. So both communicate with others through the networking. This situation is defently needing a counselor. The 13 year old comes home from school and has to jump on the x-box to communicate with his friends. The mother comes home and has to get right on the computer to facebook with her friends.Everyday is an addiction for both of these people. Dinner is not cooked and homework is not done. Chores are left undone the dogs haven't been fed. The mother is in the wrong by not setting an example for her child. This would be a good ideal for Dr. Phil to take it over please can you help these people. Networking today has become dangerously unhealthy to society. This is dangerous being an addict to facebook there was a women who let her baby drown in the bath tub while she was playing on facebook. Everyone has a vice being drugs the computor or video games, there is help out there for all of these addictions. I believe its called change and courage to change things.I think monitoring the time your on facebook or x-box will be a start. Taking it away would not be productive little by little should help the problem. Being cured of being a junky to facebook and x-box will happen in time.This is a problem society may not think so but new electronics have only been around for maybe ten years the access is so available that they haven't done studies on these situations.I'm sure someone in a relationship have left their spouse because they wouldn't get off facebook. A girlfriend has left her boyfriend because he wouldn't get off x-box. Well people this is a problem and it needs help.

Has Facebook Changed Your Life!!

Before I was able to network with other people it was lonely at home. I was introduced to facebook. At first I had only a few friends on facebook. I didn't facebook much in the beginning, then I started finding friends from school all the way from elementary to high school. The more friends I gained the more I was on facebook. Chatting sending messages and keeping up on their lifes. The more I was on facebook the more I became obsession. Right with I woke up I was on facebook with coffeee in hand. Then in the afternoon I had to get on facebook to just be on to chatt with whoever was on. When evening came on was on till bedtime sometimes till 2am. Then I developed a habit of playing poker on facebook just to chatt with the people who were playing. This is an addiction or is it loneliness.Some can argue that I have a problem, but I think I enjoy being a facebook junky.http://the junky.blogspot.com
