Might as Well Face It…You're Addicted to Facebook

Facebook may have recently topped 350 million global members, but some of them are taking various steps to wean themselves off their addictions to the social-networking site, many of them high school students, according to The New York Times.

Among the teens who told their stories to the Times:

Neeka Salmasi, 15, a sophomore in Ann Arbor, Mich., told the newspaper she got better grades after having her sister change her Facebook password on Sunday nights and reveal it to her on Friday nights.

Halley Lamberson, 17, and Monica Reed, 16, juniors at San Francisco University High School, only allow themselves to log on to Facebook on the first Saturday of every month.
