<p>I just deactivated my Facebook because I feel like I spend too much time on it and I'm not suppose to have one. For the first semester of this year, my unweighted GPA was a 3.5 and weighted it was a 4.0. My grades could be better but I spend alot of time on the computer and on my phone. I also got in trouble because I send about 700 texts a month and my dad got mad about this. So I have no Facebook now and don't text anymore. However I'm afraid I will not be invited to parties or know whats going on. Good decision or bad?</p>
<p>I think it’s a great idea. There’s always better ways to know what’s going on without a screen. Talk with your friends face to face to find out party dates etc.</p>
<p>Just manage your time better and dont check your phone of facebook. Its all about self control. If you are really worried about your grades you wont check your phone/facebook.</p>
<p>Judging from your post you probably weren’t ever invited to parties so don’t worry about it.</p>
<p>Just ask people if their a party going on lol. And how do you spend too much time on facebook? It just a bunch of random status to stare at all day. Shouldn’t be too hard to stop spending all day on it (self-control). But whatever fits your boat.</p>
<p>Just talk to your friends in person 
</p>
<p>I deactivated my fb for junior year, and it’s actually a pretty smooth transition. When people need to talk to me, they know just to text or talk in person.</p>
<p>I deactivated mine last year in April and then i deactivated it 2 months to see if I was missing out on anything; I deactivated my facebook a day after because it was useless. I’m fine without it and I have so much more free time and I get really good grades while my friends are always like Oh man I spend so much time on facebook I can’t get my hw done! </p>
<p>Try it out for a week or two and switchback if you don’t like it, but trust me it’s better without one</p>
<p>I mean I Reactivated it 2 months and then deactivated it a day after cuz it was time consuming and not my thing anymore</p>
<p>Plus google is facebook… michael. FB is time consuming? well maybe you should have develop more time managing still. But however in your situation the best thing for OP to do is deactivate FB for a while and delete some numbers.</p>
<p>It’s all about time management.</p>
<p>I’ve considered deleting mine because quite frankly, I don’t like that much information on the internet as well as some other reasons too. But I figure with college next year it’s a godo way to stay in contact with people. Plus, it’s nice to be able to join Facebook admitted groups for colleges and different stuff like that. But if it’s an issue that’s causing you to have lower grades, then time to deactivate I think. Only reactivite it when you know it won’t be an issue.</p>
<p>Bad. Technology and social networks are inevitable these days. </p>
<p>
</p>
<p>Uhh, excuse me, but there are tons of people who “work hard” and “party hard” at the same time. Not all people with high GPA’s study all day…</p>
<p>I deactivated my Facebook for more than one reason: it was time consuming, I was becoming addicted to it, really. Social networking is often used for pointless reasons, now: people talk about others, etc. I was sick of it. I didn’t know a lot of the people on my FB plus it’s not very private. I thought I would be crushed without it, but I witched to Twitter and I connect much better through there because most of my REAL friends have Twitters. I’m planning on making a family and college-friends Facebook next year when I go off to college. Deactivating my Facebook was the best decision I’ve ever made.</p>
<p>Lololol @snackmix. You have to learn self control. You can’t just go through life shutting off things that are “distracting”</p>
