<p>I'm torn between deleting all my Facebook pics from high school and keeping the up. College used to be a totally fresh start where you could reinvent yourself, but now everyone can see who you were in high school and make assumptions. Any opinions?</p>
<p>This totally wouldn't be a problem if Facebook hadn't decided to screw up their formula and allow high school students. </p>
<p>/Sorry, this really has nothing to do with your question. But I'm kind of bitter, because it was just so. much. better. before.</p>
<p>If I were you I'd remove all pics that are obviously from high school (ones with high school friends, etc) except for pictures that you really like (eg, good pictures of you). There's no reason to trash nice pictures of yourself just because they're from high school. But do trash pictures that would be considered irrelevant and stupid by anyone who didn't know the people in them.</p>
<p>decisions like this are always difficult I will be praying for you</p>
<p>Lol wow Citan really nailed it :D</p>
<p>Yeah, it's a rough life.</p>
<p>Come on it's not a stupid question! Actually its a lot better than some of the stupid stuff people discuss on here.</p>
<p>Anyway, it sucks because if you have no pictures of yourself on facebook you look like an anti-social person, but if there are a lot of ones with random high school friends you can't reinvent yourself at all.</p>
<ol>
<li>it's f***ing facebook.</li>
<li>stop worrying</li>
<li>if anyone seriously makes any judgements about others because of anything to do with a facebook profile, wow.</li>
</ol>
<p>When I see people with tons of pictures on facebook, I don't necessarily think they're social. I don't think I've ever considered whether or not someone is social based on social networking profiles. Ever. And I've been involved on the social networking scene before there even was an official social networking scene. So I really wouldn't worry about that. </p>
<p>Here's an idea. Put up a picture, or two. But of just you! No debacherous high school house parties, no prom photos, etc. Just you. You'll have a picture, but you have room to grow. Or put the high school ones in a seperate album. </p>
<p>I really don't think anyone expects you to stay the same in college as you were in high school. I also think you may be able to "reinvent" yourself without stressing about your old image. People change. Who cares.</p>
<p>this thread reminds me of why I disabled my facebook account...reminded me too much of high school clique behavior...I actually have a friend who sends random invites to good looking chicks so people think he is popular.</p>
<p>PS: chicks need to stop making those stupid faces in their pictures...it's not cute...it's annoying.</p>
<p>I don't even know how to delete facebook pics</p>
<p>I really don't think it matters all that much; just what you feel is the better option</p>
<p>"this thread reminds me of why I disabled my facebook account...reminded me too much of high school clique behavior...I actually have a friend who sends random invites to good looking chicks so people think he is popular."
Exactly how I feel (I also got rid of my account). Random people would add me, but I'd reject them because I didn't know them. If you have a 1000 friends you are somehow a loser. I originally wanted it so I talk to friends who go to other schools, but it has become pretty worthless and it's a huge waste of time. It's still not in myspace territory though ;)</p>
<p>My account is basically used so i can look at other people's accounts. I hate hate hate profiles on almost anything without pictures, so I have 1, but nothing more is necessary for my purposes. I don't use facebook to make friends; I use facebook to keep up with the ones I've got.</p>
<p>If not having any pics on facebook makes you look anti-social, does not having a facebook account at all make me a suspected mass murderer? Honestly I always thought the whole idea was really dumb.</p>
<p>It's a good idea in theory, but often a really bad one in execution. </p>
<p>They're making lots of money off of it, though. So whatever. They win.</p>

<p>I should probably delete my facebook as well...it's taking too much time away from CC :(</p>
<p>haha I know...I really hate facebook, but its a good way to see what people are up to who you haven't seen in awhile. </p>
<p>PS...what is with people at my college who are freshman and already have 500 friends???</p>
<p>^Ahhh, I hate that ****.</p>
<p>Freshman w/ more friends than one hundred should be expelled or lynched.</p>
<p>I was peer-pressured into getting a Facebook account when I went to college, and I thought it was stupid all along. Currently my account is gutted - it has only my name, school email (which I can't get rid of) and gender. I kept all my friends so I could look at the profiles of the ones with "only friends can view profile" turned on. I kept the account so I could look at other people's profiles, simple enough.</p>
<p>I really, really hate having photos taken of me, so I quickly de-tag any pictures that crop up with me in them (it's inevitable). The stupid thing feels like a colossal invasion of privacy, and nobody notices or cares. It's sad.</p>
<p>one girl I know has like 150+ pictures of her in various poses....***</p>
