What's Facebook?

Facebook began a few years back and fastly turned into the new thing to use. I use Facebook to keep in touch with many people, such as family that currently live in North Carolina. Facebook is a social network but it’s been turning into much more ever since the start. Positives of Facebook include staying up to date with people, keeping track of upcoming invents, and many others. Many people from schools and work use Facebook to interact with their schoolmates and coworkers. Lately, there are many negatives appearing on Facebook though. First, many people that use Facebook often post pictures that they shouldn’t, usually include alcohol and much more. Colleges and companies are starting to search people that are applying for a school or a job and are denying the applicants by what they are finding on Facebook. Also, there has been a lot of bullying on Facebook.  Jamey Rodemeyer's suicide was caused due to bullying over Facebook. In my opinion half of Facebook is for interaction and the other half is to judge others. Using Facebook makes it so easy to see what people do on a daily basis, what their opinions are, the kinds of pictures they choose to take, and what their interests are; people don't know how to keep their comments to themself. People often say that not as much drama and pointless fights would happen if it wasn’t for Facebook.  From the bullying that is often seen on Facebook to kids getting in trouble in school which often leads to getting in actual fights in school which is now leading into suicide. In my opinion Facebook has taken pointless drama to a whole unnecessary level. One of the positives of Facebook is finding and keeping in touch with others who you haven’t seen in a long time. Again, I’ve been seeing more negative things coming out of Facebook then positives. Lastly, another negative of Facebook that has been seen through many netwroks of the internet is dating. Many teenagers today add people that they don’t know and talk to them just because they think their attractive. Many people that take part in this action don’t think of the negatives that can come from it. Such as, you don’t know who the person you think you’re talking to is really that person, there’s a lot of creeps out there; it could lead you in a terrible position in the long run.
