Yet this website has become much more than silly. It's legit. It has become the center of peoples lives, days, hours. People need to check it before they go to bed, and just as they wake up in the morning. And why? To see what their friends have been doing. Why don't you just give them a call or shoot 'em a text? I am extremely against Facebook. I had one freshman year. I didn't really know what it was all about. Since then I deleted my account. I just feel it is so unnecessary! I can see why one might want one for college, to keep in touch with high school friends, family members, and new friends they meet. But for high school, I feel like Facebook is a waste of time. Not only is it tremendously distracting, but it has no true benefit to a person. Some people say, "Facebook is great for establishing connections, meeting people" blah blah blah. If you want to be friends with someone, why not get to know them in person? I dislike how the world has become so technological these days.
I deleted my Facebook account. It was truly liberating. It feels good to say that I spend my free time shooting hoops in the alley or riding bikes to Panera, rather than sitting in front of a computer screen - stalking the people that I spend every day with. Let this blog inspire you to delete yours too!

This really does inspire me to delete my Facebook. But as I say this, sadly, I know I will not. I'm too attached, along with the rest of our generation. Luckily, I have distanced myself from it so that I don't feel the need to check it incessantly. But for those that do, they will grow up with severe social issues. And I mean that in the most sympathetic way. The fact that kids younger than us are growing up with Facebook such a big part of their social life is depressing. What has communication become, other than an ongoing wall post?
