As the Internet made it possible to reach people around the world, being connected to people worldwide has become more easy-accessible than before via the social networking sites. As Facebook becomes popular across the world, people ask “Do you have Facebook?” to be close each other. People add as a friend on Facebook, and they can be closer through the Facebook. It can help enhancing friendship on Facebook.
However, significant number of Facebook users believes that it has more negative effects than the benefits. Based on the studies from Edinburgh Napier University in Scotland, researchers found out that there is a great amount of peer pressure on Facebook. For example, the more friends people have on Facebook the more likely they get stressed out. They are anxious about the fear of missing important social information or offending contacts.
