Father agrees to pay teen daughter $200 to quit Facebook

Recently, more and more people are leaving Facebook and several social media but not many are getting paid to leave ,  the addiction to social network is generating a growing concern for parents , especially for teens and it's really dangerous, the habit of reading books is becoming extinct and parents who are aware of the consequences are figuring alternative ways to dissuade their ward from the addictions,  Paul Baier is one father who figured a monetary reward for his daughter to stay off face book

A  14-year-old Rachel Baier  made a deal with her father, Paul. To stay  off of Facebook for five months, and she will become $200 richer.

To make sure everything was above board, a contract was signed by both parties. Rachel will get $50 if she resists the call of Facebook until mid-April. She'll score $150 more if she makes it to June 26. She has given her father her password, which he has changed to prevent her from accessing her account. According to the contract, Rachel intends to use the proceeds for "stuff."

We spoke with Paul Baier about the plan. It turns out, it was Rachel's idea. "She mostly wanted and needed the money as she has been frustrated by not finding babysitting jobs. She is an honors student but she says Facebook can be distracting."

Rachel originally asked for $70, but then, like an expert negotiator, she came back and asked for $200. "When she realized it would be for five months, she wanted an amount that would really excite her," Paul explained.

Paul hopes this may start a trend. "I've realized that she is part of a generation of kids that has grown up on Facebook. She's been on it for two years full time. This is two years of 24/7 teen discussion of friends, clothes, parties, etc. They can't get away from it. I'm proud she recognized the benefit of a hiatus. She plans to go on using it after the contract ends."

The contract expires on the last day of school. So far, she has no regrets.
