does facebook have a negative impact on our english skills

pros

Its free
Easy to sign up
easy to communicate with people all around the world
any one can sign up
has a video call feature

cons

no security
people make up new words
no background information about the people who sign up
cyber bullying
racism
people can read a message wrong and they will want to have a fight etc.

Outline Proposal
We are going to research and find out whether or not Facebook has a negative impact on people's English skills. We will do this by researching and finding any facts and interviewing Facebook users and asking them if their English skills have improved or got worse. We will be interviewing teenagers around the ages of 14-19 and asking them how often they use Facebook and if it has affected their English in any sort of way.
