<p>Yes, I am one of the few people on earth who don't have a Facebook yet. I've been fine with it for a long time, but ever since last year, I feel like I'm being left out on everything because I'm the only one who doesn't have one. Whether its discussions my friends have on facebook or events that can only be organized/seen there, I feel like I'm missing out on alot. The only reason I'm hesitant is because I feel kinda stupid making one this late, when everyone has had theirs for like 3 or 4 years now...</p>
<p>Everyone and their mom’s have Facebook now, get with it</p>
<p>Lol, that’s pretty silly. Just make one. I could see if you would think that Facebook will inflict harm on your academics, but this is just out of your feeling of stupidity. It doesn’t bite, and I think it’s better late than never I guess. But mind you, Facebook isn’t like the best thing in the world. It’s all up to you.</p>
<p>Don’t do it, it’s very distracting, and there’s a lot of stupid crap on that website. It can, however, be helpful (academically) for communicating with people about assignments and whatever. </p>
<p>I mean, I have one to talk to friends because my phone is busted, otherwise I’d probably use it a lot less. I also use it because I can add classmates and we can collectively figure out due dates and what we have to do for class when a teacher doesn’t stress something or none of us were paying attention, lol. Oh, and it’s alright for peer editing essays. I got As on like every essay I wrote last year, and most of them I peer edited through AIM/Facebook. So, in those respects it’s good.</p>
<p>I just got a facebook recently…I have plenty of free time on my hands and can get bored so I felt it has been worth it. It can get slightly addictive for some people, if you either are bad at avoiding distractions or have a busy schedule then maybe don’t get one.</p>
<p>Don’t feel stupid for making one “late.” All your friends will probably be really excited that you finally got an account!</p>
<p>And the only reason not to IMO is if you think it will distract you too much. However, like ibSleepy, I have found Facebook to be very helpful with school. You can categorize your friends into “groups,” which only you can see. I like to make groups for classes that I usually need homework help in. For example, I will have a group called “physics” with all my FB friends who are in that class. I can pull up the group on Facebook chat and automatically see everyone in that class who is online, so there is almost always someone there to answer a quick question.</p>
<p>I barely have a Facebook. It’s no big deal. If you want one, get one; if you don’t, don’t.</p>
<p>
Literally. Just make one, who really cares. It’s not like you need to make a point or anything</p>
<p>I don’t have FB and I don’t want to get one unless there comes a situation when it’s necessary for me to get one.</p>
<p>I don’t have a facebook either…</p>
<p>I don’t have a facebook…</p>
<p>Just get one. It doesn’t matter that you’ll make one later than other people. I see that happen all the time. You might get distracted for a few days after you make one because of all the friend requesting, and you’ll be excited to talk to everyone. It wears off eventually and is a good way of spending your time those late evening hours when you’re too lazy to do anything else :)</p>
<p>Don’t get one, then people will always know you as the one who doesn’t have a fb and you’ll stand out.</p>
<p>But seriously, it’s often a waste of time but if you can control the hours you spend on FB, it’s cool to know what’s going on and be able to talk to people about homework and whatever since everybody’s there. And when you’re feeling bored at like 2 am there’s somebody to talk to. lol</p>
<p>Everyone who says facebook will “control your life” is pretty scary. It definitely will not. Facebook used to be more of an hour long event but now people only go on a few times a day to respond to messages and update their statuses. You’ll definitely need one to make meeting people easier once you’re in college so you might as well make one now. Plus, if you need help on homework or something you can always chat with dozens of people from school every night instead of scrolling through your cell phone to see if you have their number! It’s a great convienance and you can use it as much or as little as you want.</p>
<p>Edit: And no one’s going to be “impressed” or think you “stand out” for not having one lol. If anything, they just won’t know who you are. Especially at a large university or high school!</p>
<p>^ I was just kid d i ng :D</p>
<p>Yeah, I wasn’t attacking you or anything! I just want to make sure the OP knows the truth hahaa. :)</p>
<p>^general pickett’s charge at gettysburg was a major success</p>
<p>Confederate, do YOU have a group of real life friends? Lol I feel like every post I see of yours is asking “Do you have real life friends who can answer this question for you?” I’m pretty sure everyone has friends on here, let’s not belittle the OPs. They merely have questions that they want to ask fellow high school students, hence the forum Title, about. There might come a day when you have a question to post on here but I’m sure you have real life friends too.</p>
<p>^Don’t feed ■■■■■■.</p>
<p>My apologies Harvey ;)</p>
