<p>To me I just think it goes back to people believe what they want to believe. People tell themselves that “I’ll get left behind if I don’t have a Facebook” because they want to believe that.</p>
<p>I hate to sound harsh and break it to you (this isn’t directed towards anyone, just talking in general), no one cares about you. You’re going to honestly sit there and tell me that if Facebook wasn’t around you’ll still be in contact with the “friends” you’re contacting through Facebook because it’s convenient? BS. You’ll come to realize that there are people on Facebook who couldn’t give two cents if you “stayed in touch” with them or not if Facebook was to be gone today or tomorrow. That’s just how I see it.</p>
<p>With that being said, Facebook isn’t a bad thing. I see how it’s good for those who are internationally separated (i.e. best friend in Africa while you’re here, Family is here while you’re in London study abroad, etc). There are benefits to Facebook but I just don’t think it’s for everyone. The only reason it has so many followers is because half the people on it are mindless and only want to follow what the masses are doing. “Hey! Facebook has 600 million users so that means I HAVE to join it just because everyone else is!”</p>
