Social networking sites have become overwhelmed by users making it convenient for you to stay in contact with everyone you've known your whole entire life including your friend's mother and their mother's mother. The neighbors will probably be included in that group also along with the neighbor's family and friends. The reason this could be harmful is because out of all these people that are on your contact list, somebody is probably going to be single and looking or even married and looking for a relationship. These sites such as Facebook make it way too easy to communicate with people other than your real family and friends and way too easy for the harmless occasional sociable connection to turn into something different.
People also can become addicted with Facebook because it has so many options and things to do on it. Then, the addicted person's family or partner begin experiencing neglect. You can have 362 so called friends and family on your contact list which means your pretty popular and sociable, but are you really sociaable if you never see those people and even talk on the phone with them.
Some people go as far as looking for and meeting with other single or married people even behind their partner's back. I've heard of people making up multiple names on Facebook just so they can go meet other people and their partner wouldn't have a clue what was going on. Their real name would have all their friends and family along with their partners. Their fake name or names would give them as many opportunities to meet up with someone else without anyone knowing.
Is Facebook and other social networking sites to blame though? People have been addicted to many different things over the years and people have cheated for thousands of years. There are definitely worse things to be addicted to. If someone wanted to to cheat on their partner they would do it anyway with or without Facebook. The good definitely outweighs the bad regarding using Facebook. Where else can you show hundreds of your friends and family all over the world pictures of your new baby all with the click of a button.
