 REFLECTION PAPER

Facebook is a very popular social networking site with over eight hundred million users.
As a user of Facebook, I find it hard to believe that at one point it didn't exist. In fact, it has
become so much a part of people's lives that you can learn their life stories just by checking
their pages. Their friends, likes and dislikes, relationship status, phone number, address,
everything. Sounds a little dangerous. There are positive and negative effects that Facebook has
on people, and they can be quite significant.
Facebook is a great way to keep in touch with your family and friends that live far away.
With instant messaging and even video chat, Facebook is the perfect environment to stay
connected. This can lead to a great friendship down the road. Most people find it a lot easier to
start a conversation with someone over Facebook than in real life, so a lot of high-school
relationships tend to start there. Expressing yourself very simply with status updates. Between
showing off your favorite song lyrics, to posting pictures of your new outfit, Facebook is the
most common way that people express themselves these days.
On Facebook, it is very easy for cyberbullies to thrive. They can harass and/or gang up on
one person even easier than they could in a school environment. There aren't moderators that
go around monitoring what people say to each other. Anything can be said. There are also a
relatively small number of parents that have Facebook accounts and keep up with their
children. Facebook is notorious for causing couples to break up. Let's face it, no one wants to
see their girlfriend/boyfriend telling other people that they look cute or liking their pictures, or
instant messaging them constantly. It builds up jealousy, which causes quite a bit of tension in a
relationship. The fact that many people try to hook up with others over Facebook while not
realizing that these people are in a relationship doesn't help the issue.
Facebook is a cause for insecurities due to the fact that it makes people compare
themselves to others. Facebook is a very stalker-friendly website. Theoretically, someone that
you don't even know can say that they go to your school, add you, and get all of your
information. This may include your phone number, house address, and locations you visit
frequently. Not to mention the fact that they will be able to go through all of your pictures and
get to know you completely without you ever knowing. This is a scary thought, but it is a real
issue.
