Because teenagers don't know what's right and wrong mostly.They are still immature people.

1. It means that they then don't communicate as much in the real world and rely on social networking sites, leading to lessening their social skills.
2. Sitting in front of a computer for long periods of time is unhealthy anyway, it replaces things like exercise.
3. It makes bullying easier because you can make things like 'hate pages' and stuff like that, which is bad for self esteem and the like.

I can't really think of a 4th...

Bullying - either as a bully or a victim, grooming, following the crowd and doing the wrong thing.

Fake personalities, addicting, lose ability to have a REAL conversation, 90% of it is full of pointless rubbish irrelevant talk.
