MySpace, Facebook, who needs them?
In the article 'Not In My Space' by Sara B. it says that MySpace and facebook could ruin your future. I totally agree with her in this article. People are being bullied, harassed and sexually harassed on these social networking sites. It's bad what people do to each other on these sites, from people being bullied I've heard stories of people committing suicide because of the intensity of the bulling that goes on. All those reasons have made me decide that I don't want or need one, if you have that chance of those things happening to you. All the people being bullied on these sites, could have avoided it all by not having one. The people that want to sexually harass someone online and off-line, there is something psychologically wrong with them. When she said it would haunt you, I took it as, if you write something and it discriminatory, profane, and or sexually explicit content and thing that you wouldn't say out loud or in front of your parents, your employers can see it. If your employer sees any of those negative things it could make you not get a promotion, or make you lose your job, and at that young age you don't want that.

I do not agree that Facebook or MySpace could ruin your future. If some body is getting bullied or harassed, either block them or delete them from your page. Facebook or MySpace keep you in touch with friends that do not live close. Social networks or good but can be dangerous at times. Most people will not accept a persons friends request if they do not know them.
Like Litgirl said, if you're responsible and sensible about it, you should be fine. You can always choose who to be friends with. But still it does make it easier to prey on people.
And an interesting phenomenon I've seen is guys using the friend lists as menus of sorts. They pick whatever girl they want to "pursue." Not in a romantic, fliratious way, but love 'em and leave 'em fashion. It's sickening.
In one way I agree with you.Facebook bought a lot of trouble.On facebook we can see and discover things which we didn't want to find out and argue with friends,cousins,boyfriend (girlfriend) also some people waste a lot of their precious time for nothing.Pedophilia and fakes profiles are one of disadvantages of facebook.We can destroy our lifes with trifles.And for what?Because of stupid thing that are not worth all of that.Ok,this thing that I mention are not so important for someone but there are a lot of bad influences and troubles that brings facebook to us.But despite all that,there are some good sides of facebook.We can chat with friends from other country and improve our languages skills and also with our cousins and friends from school and friends which we don't see often.So to conclude facebook is not so dangerous if we know some our limits and if we are not 'addict' and if we know to protect ourselves from bad influences of facebook.
