Why do so many high schoolers post on facebook about wild parties & illegal stuff?

<p>^ My teacher’s daughter had per profile pic of her with a friend holding a hookah! What a laugh when I saw that.</p>

<p>cause people are ■■■■■■■■- it’s that simple</p>

<p>though most of my fb friends don’t really post pictures like that
what most annoys me are some endless conversations via wallpostings that spam my newsfeed</p>

<p>Because they think it makes them look cool, and they don’t have adults breathing down their necks. In reality, it just makes them look trashy for posting the pics and desperate like they need some sort of validation. Besides, if you need to brag about partying or alcohol/drug consumption, then you’re not mature enough for any of those things.</p>

<p>I actually don’t have a problem with people posting photos like that on facebook. Although I’m probably biased since I’ve been tagged in similar photos - but I do NOT drink or smoke, but that doesn’t mean I have anything against people who drink or smoke. In fact, most of my friends DO drink and smoke, therefore I get tagged in a lot of those kind of photos. But, really, I don’t care. It’s not because it makes them cool - the whole idea of facebook is to be able to post up photos of events, whether it’s on a football game or a party (where there’s obviously going to be drinking and/or maybe smoking). It’s just what facebook was made for. As long as they’re not wearing any propaganda of the school that they attend, then they really shouldn’t get into any sort of trouble.</p>

<p>Yeah, that’s annoying. I agree.</p>

<p>You know what else is annoying?</p>

<p>When girls post pictures of themselves and write underneath it, “OMGz, I’m, like, so, like, ugly!” And a chorus of “No, gurl, you fine! You so gorgeous!!” follows. And I get 10 emails about a bunch of girls flattering one, while that one constantly puts herself down.</p>

<p>^ I agree. If you think you look so ugly, take it down girl. If somebody else put it up, privately talk to them (or private mail) that you would like it to come down. If you just comment, “Ew. I look ugly. Take it down.” most people won’t take it seriously. They’ll just be like “You look fine.”</p>

<p>But anyway, it’s because they’re awesome and daring at heart… well, in their hearts.</p>
