Facebook & other social networking...

Everyday millions of people communicate through social net working. It is a great way to get in touch with friends and family, or even reunite with old friends or family. It is becoming more and more popular, and more and more people are starting to join whether its facebook, myspace, twitter, etc. It almost has become apart of our everyday lives. We find ourselves checking to see if we have messages, comments, likes, etc. on our pages. I think for some of us we have even become obsessed. Also how much do we really want others to know about ourpersonal lives? Although, these social networking sites have privacy optuions there is still ways people can hack into your page, or find out through others what is going on in your lives. This is why I don't understand why people write their entire life stories on these sites. What especially gets to me is all the drama and bullying that goes on in these sites. If you don't want drama and people commenting about your personal lives do yourself a favor and don't post it. Its as simple as that keep ito to yourself, but I guess there is always those people who are looking for attention. Also don't say something to somebody over the computer that you would be to scared to say to there face. Facebook and oher social networking sites are open doors for bullying to begin. Also I think parents should monitor what there children are doing on these sites. Some kids make pages and sign up using an older age without parents even noticing or knowing about it which can lead to online predators. I know my children will not be having any social networking until they are old enough and responsible enough to handle it. I am really considering deleting my account, or deleting all the people I don't really talk to. I will admit I got on facebook way to often, and I need to cut down on it, or get rid of it all together!
