Postings on facebook

What they do in their facebook account is their own responsibility, when they don't take heed to what we say or advice them. We can always tell them but the final decision is truly theirs. I agree with you about the dangers of posting everything on social networking sites. There are a lot of things that happened because of it, which includes crimes, theft identity, and some other untoward happenings. Limiting our posts and fixing the settings of our account may help a bit.

Yes, indeed, that is very problematic and I could not believe some of the stuff that some people posted back when I was on Facebook. I am sure that not much has changed, as there is so much inane, useless stuff that I doubt anyone who could care about it, other than the people posting it. It is almost like people feel compelled to give a blow by blow account of their lives. Especially the most useless thing. Of course, you really can't tell them, because they are going to do it regardless. This is why many people left Facebook(among many reasons), because we learn more about our friends and family that we would even like to know. And they tend to say things that they would not say in a public venue, not realizing that once its on the Internet, what they say it is forever, what they post is forever.

I have had this problem . Facebook is becoming too much . I just recently deactivated my account . I wish it would permantly delete because I keep being tempted to get back on there. People are going to do what they want to do , as long as it's not you , I wouldnt even worry . Your friend is grown im assuming..

Indeed today, many are using Facebook, to speak up, hatred, emotions. And create a lot of people, become unconscious due to bad will happen. Advise people who do that, it is very difficult. They will realize by themselves, if they have gotten a bad thing.

I have at least 2 of my niece that does writes just about every farts that they do . Which a predator would have an easy target on that one, they have been told that they are saying too much but are still keeping the same pace,they might need a gentle reminder from I don't know who?

I know exactly what you mean. Some people post every little thing that happens to them during a day or everything that they are thinking about, even if it is negative on Facebook. It is as if they need constant attention or feel they don't have anyone to turn to or talk to, so they post looking for help or advice. There are definitely some things that people post that could really get them into trouble, with family, friends, at work, or even with the law. The best thing you could do to help a friend who posts too much or whose posts border on inappropriate is to talk to them. It's best to say, "Have you ever thought that maybe..." or "As a friend, I just want to give you a suggestion, but it's your choice listen to me or not." Approach your friend as gently as possible, but be direct and clear. This is the best way to help them.

hehe i think its pretty much the complaints of people who does not do the same things in facebook. It is pretty annoying alright, reading all those information that we do not need, and then they are just not as useful to anyone as they are to them... posting about what they ate, what they were doing.. etc..

I don't understand why several people on Facebook do this now. It doesn't make sense to me, as I'm certainly not changing what I'm eating that day. I understand that some people are lonely and looking for attention.

I saw some of my colleagues do that too. I do not think that I am in the right position to criticize them on what they are doing since we are not that close. I don't have problems with my close friends as they are not that type. However, if ever one of my close friends started to do that, I will talk to her privately to tell her of my opinion about posting things which invites trouble. I can do it confidently since they are like real sisters to me and we are straightforward with each other.

True. I am not going to post all things related to my life. More postings of mine are mostly jokes or links to my articles to promote it. I will also post some advices to people. Something like that.

I do not know what it will take for people to understand that Facebook is a public place that you cannot post anything that you want. I have friends who like posting their personal life in Facebook and I just feel pity for them. I think your friends should be aware of all this and you do not need to give them any advice.

Yes you are right...postings about their personal life on face book leads to very serious problems..I dont know when they would realize they should not post on face book wall about their personals..

In my case, most of them would upload photos and post messages bragging about themselves which is even worse. Well, I guess it would be hard to directly tell them about your disgust of the postings that they do. Instead, I just don't mind them. I don't even care looking at them.
