Can Facebook Make You Flunk? Not Likely

Extracts:
According to the study, which was conducted by doctoral candidate Aryn Karpinski of Ohio State University and her co-author Adam Duberstein of Ohio Dominican University, frequent Facebook users typically spend less time studying and receive lower GPA scores than students who do not use the service at all. Among the 219 students surveyed, non-users had GPAs between 3.5 and 4.0, while users received 3.0 to 3.5 GPAs. It also found that users averaged 1 to 5 hours of studying per week, compared to 11 to 15 hours of studying by non-users.
Decided to post about this since most of my friends here are facebookers.
My opinion: Depending on how you use it. You can flunk if you’re using facebook like me last year, playing online games(for me, maplestory) 5 hours per day. Then, you can flunk your exams. But, if you know how to divide your time, then I think it’s a no problem to your grades.
So, what’s your opinion?
