Giving up Facebook for Year 12 (2 Viewers)

[13endo]

Personally I didn't bother deactivating Facebook until the exam period, but I've never been one to check it every 5 minutes anyway...

You can still get great marks with facebook. You just need to put in the time when it matters. If your on facebook the night before an assessment or exam wasting time there is something wrong, but if you use it as a reward for finishing a set of study notes or a past paper it could be beneficial. Btw, I know 3 people at my school who got 99.95 in the same year......They all had facebook and went to parties throughout the year!!

If your worried about not completing work and procrastinating on Facebook, ill suggest 'Cold Turkey' which can be downloaded and times can be set that disable your access to a website.

Yes! This is a great idea haha!

Not sure about your friends, but some of my friends ask questions and discuss assessments on Facebook and it's really useful.

I'm not going to be one of those people who studies 24/7 for a year. I just can't do that, i'll lose motivation and give up. I'm not giving up Facebook, not giving up video games, not giving up my job and not giving up extra curricular activities. From what i've heard from former students it's all about balance. Obviously if you're on Facebook 24/7 or working 20+ hours a week you're probably not going to do as well, but if it's in moderation then I don't see a problem.
