<p>First two years of it were rough. The second two years were great, but there were a lot of *******s in my grade.</p>
<p>high school was supposed to be a fun time? dang i guess i didnt get the memo. in my case, all high school friends are worth forgetting/deleting/(and not adding in the first place) except 1 friend</p>
<p>gotakun I disagree. Online social networking has helped me meet new people and reconnect with old friends. It can be addicting, but I manage online life. To me online life is a hobby and a destresser. I’m not dependent on it for a destresser but it compliments when I want to wind down after destressing from running, lifting, and taking a hot shower. I live my own life and do what makes me happy with my hobbies. Facebook is just another hobby for me along with running and lifting. :)</p>
<p>I added the parenthesis in the wrong place, oops. I’ve always been more intelligent than them, it’s just I was frail and anemic and was judged in part by that. I have matured in some regards and in many ways I’m a better person. I’ll admit though, I’m a lot more egocentric and haughty now. I don’t necessarily judge others down, I just have reevaluated my worth as a human being. I’m in great physical and mental condition and I have an uncommon benevolence. Still need to learn and grow more though.</p>
<p>I never thought of deleting my facebook. For my school it’s basically how people hear about events and such going on around campus so it’s very helpful. I’ve deleted a lot of people from my high school who I never actually talked to and don’t really have importance in my life and I’ve made friends with people from my uni through facebook.</p>

<p>A lot of people post their employment location on facebook. Or they post about it in statuses. The more people that you are friends with, the bigger your net is. And there is not really a downside to leaving them as friends. If you aren’t fbook friends, you will never know what they are doing and some chance of knowing is better odds than no chance.</p>
<p>I would find it more awkward to ask someone I haven’t spoken to in years if there are any other openings where they’re working than some person I just met at a bar.</p>

I have to wonder just how many people you have met or reconnected with in person through online social networks. Now, how many people would you have met or reconnected with had you been in real social situations all this time? While there is undoubtedly potential for e-friends to have significant impacts on each others’ lives, I think there is far more potential to be had in real friends, and I think the chances are much greater to realize that potential in person. You do have the right to live your own life, with whatever hobbies you choose. My goal, as with all of my socially unpopular beliefs, is simply to convince people that I am right (or at least to hear them agree) so that I know I’m not just crazy.</p>
<p>
Everything you said is true, but I don’t think the benefits of keeping a profile around outweigh the consequences (perpetuating the plague of online social networking).</p>
<p>Facebook is yet another self-indulging social networking site. I didn’t have one until AFTER I graduated from high school. It is a decent site…MUCH better than myspace. But still. I find it funny how people can have hundreds of friends on Facebook. It kind of defeats the true meaning of the word friend.</p>
<p>Anyway, I only use it to keep up with a few people and talk to my bf. No big deal.</p>
