Why do we all love facebook and do you think its a problem in society?

I joined facebook a few weeks ago, and i love it also not only being able to communicate with family but also playing the games that they have their. Parents should always be monitoring their children's activities weather it be on the computer or not. Their are predictors that will use any means that they can to get to our children. Parents just need to be aware what their children are doing all the time to help keep them safe.

I personally do not do a lot on facebook. Fortunately, my children aren't old enough to go onto the site. I watch what my children are doing on the computer because even playing toddler games you can go into all kinds of sites that aren't a good thing. Commercials pop up and chat things could pop up. I think it is a parent's responsibility to watch what their child does on a computer. Especially if they want to see their child alive tomorrow.

I love facebook too. I think it all depends on how the person uses it. I use in on the same grounds as you do. I guess we just have to be sensible in our usage. Parents have to keep an eye on their teens and give them a lot of love.

I think all social networking sites are far good as long as you don't go overboard and provide too much of personal information. Someone here tried to do that!

Well, I think that parents should definitely educate their children about the DANGERS involved with meeting people online. In Facebooks' defense, they strongly discourage anyone to add anyone they don't KNOW personally. In my opinion, Facebook wasn't the problem - because it does so much good for people like me. It allows me to connect to friends and family and co-workers without having to call or write or whatever. People should definitely only add people who they know PERSONALLY. I think in this case, the teenage girl was being reckless online and not following many safety measures that I'm sure her parents would have loved her to. These things are really out of our control. I would imagine that common sense would tell this teenager NOT to trust strangers, as that is something we learn at a very young age. But people sometimes get manipulated into trusting others, on Facebook or not, so I can understand how something like this happens. Do I think it's Facebook's fault? No. Is our society wrong for spending so much time on Facebook? Maybe, but that's another story entirely. Society and Facebook didn't cause this girl to get killed..The psychopath killer did!

I have this arguement with my freinds all the time. I'm always catching heat because I'm not on Facebook. My freinds will say, "You've got to get a facebook page so I can send you this, or so we can talk about that." I'm like, Dude, we're talking face to face right now, how easier could it be to talk to me or show me something? I personally just feel like it causes more problems than good. When people say, "but you can catch up wit old friends from highschool or that you don't see anyomre". I always tell them that I feel like if we were close enough that we need to "catch up" we never would've drifted apart in the first place. I'm still very close with my "best" friends from highschool and college, and I've never gone more than a week or so without speaking to them or seeing them in person. That's all the catching up I need.

Facebook is really a good social networking sites, no doubt about that. I don't say I love facebook but I can say this social network is really good that we can do more things to make friends, promote,playing game and more application that will help our websites also...Have a nice day!

I don’t use facebook, so far I just use skype to contact my friends. I heard a lot about it. Just today I read a review about facebook, the writer said she worried one day people would forget how to say hello in our real life. I don’t know how powerful the site can be, but I’m curious. I suppose one day when I have time I maybe pop over to test the water. By the way as I know my friends son who is 9 years old and he has his facebook account.

i think it depends on us as user facebook. my tips only is never believe too early to someone in cyber. let the time will proof for me , if she/he can be my good friends for me.

Nope i don't think facebook is a problem in the society. . . I love facebook and using it almost everyday to communicate with my relatives away from country. . . very good addicting apps to play and earn cash too.. About the teenage girl i think it's all about trust and very sorry about it... just be very careful....if possible don't meet someone you don't really know well... or meet with a friend/relative in a crowded place..

First of all, not all people love facebook. But I'm guessing that people who love it might have been, because of facebook's addicting apps. Secondly, I don't really think it's a problem in the society. Just like any social network, facebook is just a handy tool for communication.

Honestly, if a person is attacked or gets into a bad situation with a person they only know from Facebook, then it is not the fault of Facebook. It has more to do with a girl being stupid enough to go and meet a man she only knew online alone. I mean, you would think there is no one these days who would not realize that is a really stupid thing to do. You hear about these things all the time. I actually met my husband online, but I talked to him for almost a year and a half before I met him, and when I went over to meet him (in America, I was in England) I actually took my Dad on the holiday and we met him together. And I was 30!(We have been married 5 years, by the way!) So I am not against meeting someone, just being daft enough to go on your own, and not check it out first, and not go to a very public place. Personally I have found Facebook to be great for me - as I said, I moved, ultimately, from England to America so it is great for keeping in touch with people back home. However I don't do Farmville and get so many requests I am tempted to burn down everyones' crops....!

facebook and orkut is so popular among youngsters of the nation.That is because they attract others.It attracts them to the core.Its all fun there.There may be some minor bad incidents because we have always two sides in a coin.We must only take the possitive aspects of these sites.We can develope good network from this site and enjoy...

I think it is okay for kids to use them, under supervision. My personal opinion is children under 18 should be required to have their accounts set to private. Also, I feel it is the parents right and responsibility to monitor interactions that their children are having. My daughters are to young to have one. However, I go on my underage little sisters profile all the time. I check the pictures they are posting of themselves, people they are accepting as friends, and how much personal information they are provided about themselves. I have an older friend who reported one of her daughters friends because she felt the posted pictures where to risque. I feel that we all have a responsibility to help look out for the children, that we know, that use it. Maybe with the combined effort we can help make it safer.

That's really sad; I couldn't imagine what the girl's family had to go through. Social networking sites surely have its pros and cons, but this is the second time I've been reading something related to Facebook. The previous news was of a wife whom have been killed by her husband, I think because she put the relationship status as single, and not married like she used to. More or less that was what I understood from the story. I strictly use Facebook for playing the games and use some applications there. Other than that, I don't really share too personal information like address and stuff like that. I think social networking sites are just like chatting; and there need to be a certain kind of discreet, and the general rule of not being too kind and open to strangers is important. I think Facebook can be used, but with a certain kind of usage. Not to be too open. Not just Facebook, but other sites too. The bottom line is never to reveal too much personal information, unless it's a family members or close friend from young etc..

Social networking sites are made to keep in contact with your friend and family but some people use it for thier own evil deeds. i will not easily go to see someone i met online and i definately will not go alone. The person is a stranger so i will treat him as a stranger. children under 13 should not be allowed on these sites and for those under 18 that are allowed they should be supervised

Parents are responsible for watching their children. I have met tons of internet people, it's not something a teenager should be doing because they don't have good judgement. If anyone under the age of say 17 meets anyone from the net, they should have an adult accompany them.

I don't think it is a problem in the society. I also love facebook.

No its not a problem rather its up to the society if they wanna make it a problem I like facebook in the sense i can communicate witheveryone of my interest,my profession, and i also i found some of my lost childhood friends on facebook so its cool.

facebook is one of the good social network, because we can make friends across the world and we can share comments, we can make discussions, and we can share photos also,and we can share our comment freely in network, according to me it face book will not create any problem to society, today millions of peoples are using facbook,because it is user friendly.
