<p>I am still in high school, but I have friends in college who have facebook ids. I was wondering if anyone would be willing to share their user name and password (through private messaging of course) of their facebook id/password. I guess this targets those individuals who havent even activated their account and go to college or simply do not use it. I know that this sounds like a wacky thread dealing with security issues pertaining to passwords and ids but in matter of trust, I only wish to use it for browsing my friends profiles and graduates from my school.</p>
<p>y dont u wait until u go to college?????? even if u get someones id, u cant c anyones profile until they say u can be friends with them. its not like myspace</p>
<p>u cant have an extra account because the way u get in is by using ur school email account.</p>
<p>no you can see practically anybody despite not being friends with them. I dont mean exra account but rather just someone who is willing to offer it without any hassle issues</p>
<p>Well you can see anyone at the school you go to without being friends with them, but otherwise yeah you have to be friends. Just wait for college, seriously.</p>
<p>if you want to see your friends' profiles they can give you their links... you don't have to belong to facebook to see them.</p>
<p>and yeah, unless they go to the school that the e-mail address is attached to or they're listed as your friend, you can't see other peoples' profiles.</p>
<p>haha, it'll cost you $15+K in a year to get on facebook, so $100 seems like a deal to me :p</p>
<p>but to repeat what other have said, you can only see the profiles of people at your college unless you are friends with people. This includes people from your HS, meaning you can't see their profiles unless your friends with them. </p>
<p>Sorry, but some things you just have to wait for!</p>
<p>Wow. I definitely managed to make it through high school without facebook. While I must say it's a great way of meeting people at your school, especially for incoming freshman, it is definitely not necessary for a high school student. </p>
<p>To repeat what the above poster said, this is something you should just wait for.</p>
<p>Hiko--You can see people at your college. You can also see non-classmate's pictures and their names and schools, but that's it unless your friends with them. You cannot see most people's profiles. For instance, if you look up someone from your HS, you can see their pic, and where they're going to school, but unless your friends with them, you cannot see anything else.</p>
<p>and about how some colleges aren't on it yet, check it regularly because they constantly add schools to the website.</p>
<p>I'm not trying to sound snobby, even though I probably do anyway, but part of the appeal of Facebook is that not just anyone can access it...you have to have access to an e-mail account that corresponds with a college on the network, so when you are "friends" with someone, you basically know exactly with whom you're interacting, as opposed to a network like Myspace where you can use any Hotmail or Yahoo address to register and use any name you like to represent yourself. Nothing on the internet is completely safe, but the relative safety of a network like Facebook begins to be compromised when people start using their college e-mail accounts to make accounts for other people who aren't actually affiliated with that college...I'm sure it happens, but I'm not aware of it occurring with any regularity at this point. I know that your curiosity is piqued by reading things on sites like this one and all of the press that the network has been getting of late, but just consider it another of those things that you have to look forward to about college (although if anyone were counting down the days until college so that he or she could access Facebook, that would be kind of sad). </p>
<p>Also, I think it would be a really bad call for anyone to allow anyone else to tie something with such a great potential for abuse to their official college e-mail account, much less someone they met over the internet. It would really be a pain to make a Facebook account for someone you don't know and have them post illegal pictures on his or her profile or harrass or threaten people over Facebook and have it traced back to your school account...sounds crazy but people who feel that they are protected by a veil of anonymity sometimes do "unexpected" things (not saying you are like this by any means, Harvard, but not everyone on the internet is who they claim to be).</p>
