Facebook

As most people in the U.S. I have a facebook too. I don't use it very often, maybe a few times a week. I use my facebook account to find friends from other states and keep in touch with them.

Lots of people use facebook for various reasons but I think the main one is to keep in touch with others. It is very easy to share ,what you are doing, with your friends. You don't have to call them to tell what has happened to you lately and you can even use pictures to give your distant friends a visual.

Even though many people of all ages, races, ect. use facebook I believe not everyone should have one. Those that shouldn't have one are those of a very young age. People 12 and younger just don't have the awareness of what to post and what not to. They also have a hard time staying away from things that they shouldn't be doing and adding people as "friends" who aren't really a friend.

Like most things in this world there are positives and negatives. Facebook is no exception, some of the positives of facebook is the interaction with others, the ability to keep in touch with distant friends, and even gives a small business an effective advertising spot. Even with these positives there are also some bad negatives like stalkers who try to take valuable information from other people, bullies who use the internet to continue picking on others after school hours, and  some people get addicted to facebook which ruins their scheduling and other aspects of their life.
