Facebook for a 13 year old, problem, help?

My cousin, who is 13 years old, signed up for facebook. and she doesn't know which high school she is going to so I signed her up under a kinda random school, but in the region where she lives. so she is in the location region network, but it keeps threatening to disable her account if her friends don't confirm that she is in the high school network she joined (and she doesn't have any friends from that high school)





I didn't know they make you join a high school/college/other network now, 'cause apparently the region network isn't enough. So what do I do? she doesn't know what to do, and doesn't want her account disabled? what happens if her account get's disabled?

Facebook for a 13 year old, problem, help?
you can use only a region. i joined my city and not my school to start with, but my advice would be (if you dont wnat to start a new account) would be to set all privacy settings on tight and ask a random person who looks nice from that school to be your friend. when they confrim, you can delete them and restore normal privacy settings
Reply:well,


personally, a 13 year old shouldnt even be on facebook, theres a reason why they dont hae elementary school listed on the networks, wait until shes actualyl in high school and until she acctually knnows some ppl in hihg school, and waitt till shes a bit older...
Reply:you can deactivate the account until she reaches high school dont worry the account will still be there you just need to get the conformation email to activate it again
Reply:why dont u deactivate it and then sign her up on your school.... thats wut i would do


Should i make up a fake facebook boyfriend?

i look on facebook and see that my ubernerdy friends from my all-girls highschool have "relationships" now in college. thats not fair at all!!!!!! none of us had boyfriendss in hs, and honestly if i am the last one to get one.......... im going to just die.


they already act like they pity me when we get together over breaks.

Should i make up a fake facebook boyfriend?
Don't you dare make up a boyfriend! Ask me, and anyway, if you say you are taken and you aren't whoever wants will think you aren't available and will find someone else. If your friends find out they'll think you are desperate and a liar. Is a fake guy worth your friendship?(everything has it's own time)
Reply:It's not a race, relax. Having an immaginary boyfriend is much more worth the pity you're afraid of than not having one at all. don't lower yourself to that. And hey, what if someone at your school is interested in you and looks at your facebook and sees you "in a relationship" they might not ask you out because they think you're taken





who knows... maybe they all made thiers up too!
Reply:that is dumb..


don't fake anything


cause somehow they will find out your lieing and you will feel really stupid for making it up
Reply:So basically you want to make yourself seem like more of a loser by making up a boyfriend? They will know that he was made up when none of them have ever heard of him or met him.
Reply:You're acting like you are still in HS...


Yeah, make one up. Your "UBERNERDY" friends will really pitty you when the truth comes out, lol...
Reply:You'd pity yourself if you were trying to pull one over on them...don't make up a lie you'll get caught and you'll end up getting hurt in the process....so will your friends...they'd feel even more bad for you....so just tell them not to treat you differently b/c you don't have a bf and don't let them when they do...stand up for yourself...and don't get sad around them when they are with their bfs be your normal happy go lucky self....briming with self confidence....before you know it you'll have somebody...and don't go looking for someone either they won't be worth it....wait!
Reply:i am sitting in the exact same boat with you. my friends are in relationships, getting engaged, getting married. don't do it. you don't have to list yourself as single, but do not say you are in a relationship. relax. it'll come when it comes. i know this is hard to believe, but it will. for the mean time, relish being single. relish not having to consult someone else when you make decisions. relish the spontaneity, and get a copy of bridget jones's diary. buenos suertes! ;)
Reply:nah don't fake it! Own up to being single and enjoy it, and when they say something about how great their relationship is, you can just mention how Awesome it is to not be tied down to anyone and free to do what you want.
Reply:Imagine this - you make up a fake boyfriend and they find out about it. How much pity would you be getting then? Not to mention, making a boyfriend up - will only lead to more questions: what's he like, where's he live, job, etc. You're better off just waiting for Mr. Right. Just be patient, he's out there somewhere.





ETA: Even putting "in a relationship" will lead to questions. If these are your friends, they are going to want to know about who you're seeing. That starts the whole Lies lead to more Lies cycle.





I'm sorry you're having a hard time. I know what it's like to be the only one who's not in a relationship, but like someone else mentioned - enjoying be single! In fact, a good book - Single, Sassy, and Satisfied. You should be able to find it on Amazon. I read it after my divorce and started getting feeling lonely and depressed.
Reply:There's nothing wrong with being single.





Heck, you don't know what kind of boyfriends they have anyway.





Are you sure their situation is better than yours?





Don't let having or not having a man say anything about you.
Reply:no that would be vry lame. If they start bugging you about your single status, tell them you don't want to date serious yet, you perfer to have guy friends without the strings.
Reply:dont make one up.. tell them ur prince is somewhere, hes just too stubborn to ask for directions :)


Facebook problem! Help please.?

I have had facebook for ages now. And have so many photo albums shared with friends. But this problem happened a few months ago. Everytime I upload an album, it processes the photos and everything goes fine, when it reaches the uploading phase of the upload bar, it stops and a message saying 'Upload failed' pops up.


A few months ago I tried to reinstall Java, and it worked just fine after that. It happened again now. And I reinstalled Java but the problem wasn't solved.


I think it might have something to do with being on the college internet network. Although bearing in mind that I have uploaded photos before using this network before.


HELP PLEASE!

Facebook problem! Help please.?
The java method doesnt work for me, theres somthing called the manual upoloader or the simple uploader, where you do the select the image idividually and can upload 5 at a time, takes bit longer but works for moi

What's your favorite part of the facebook.com community site?

College/university students probably know what site I'm talking about. Just which part of the facebook.com do you like the best?

Poll on College behavior: Do any other college students choose to NOT drink?

Or, if you aren't in college but you used to be, did you choose not to drink?





I'm a sophomore in college and it really seems like 95% of the student body here all love to get wasted on the weekends. I was just looking around at some photo albums on Facebook and nearly every single picture has someone with a beer in their hands.





I don't really care if people drink, but I was just curious if there was anyone like me out there who chooses not to drink. I just think that I can have a good time without the influence of alcohol. I don't smoke or have sex either. I hate the way some people think I'm weird because I don't live life like a "normal college kid" would. Sorry if not drinking, smoking, doing drugs, and all that makes me weird.





Anyone else feel the same?

Poll on College behavior: Do any other college students choose to NOT drink?
I'm on my 3rd semester in college. I am a straight A student and I can honestly say that if I were doing the partying that my friends are I'd be dropped out by now. I don't mind kicking back with a few cold drinks once in a while when there's no midterms, no assignments due, when I can afford to have a fun time but for the most part, I won't do it.





I choose not to drink because I saw what happened to my brother in college. Too much partying, too much sex with random girls and now he's a father with only half a college education. He's doing good for himself but I do not want to be a repeat of that.





I can't say I don't have sex. I have been with my boyfriend for over 2 years and we live together but I don't smoke, I don't sleep around and I don't do drugs.





I have friends always on my butt saying I'm not fun...well I had fun back in high school. College is my grown up time to get my life going.
Reply:No I don't drink, I can't even if I wanted too. I'm underage. The pressure of drinking is tough but I have to to stay true to myself and not drink.
Reply:nope I drank
Reply:I'm with you. I don't drink or smoke either. I pretty much keep to myself.
Reply:I know. When I get to college, I'm not doing any of that because you don't need them to have a fun time. They will just ruin your college years.
Reply:I didn't drink...didn't interest me then, doesn't interest me now. I had to work through college and work at college; i didn't get the free parental ride like most of them did.





It seems like that's all college is about anymore. Sad to think this is the future of our country!
Reply:Yes, there are some. When I was in college, I had a friend that did not drink. But as far me, I drank a good amount in college.
Reply:I know how you feel. But yeah never was much of a drinker.
Reply:i'm the same way


Should I get a Facebook?

I have always hated MySpace, and I would never get one. But I am going to college next year and kind of would like to meet some people that are going to my school before I get there, and I have checked and many of them have a Facebook. I easily get addicted to these kinds of things (look what I'm doing right now) and don't want to waste alot of my time which I have done with these things before. Is it worth it for me to get one, or will I get sucked into it and ruin my life?

Should I get a Facebook?
go with facebook
Reply:if u easily get addicted then. NO! unless you can control yourself like going on it only 1 a day. But if you think you will trully be addicted then no way.
Reply:Facebook is a really great way of meeting people and staying in touch with them. It's really useful, but I will admit that you do get sucked into checking almost every day, but I would definently reccomend getting one.
Reply:i absolutely love the face! and its a great way to meet new people
Reply:Wait till you get the schools email address. That way you can be in your college group.
Reply:Facebook is an amazing way to stay in touch with old friends and to make new ones. I really think you should get one..almost everyone in college has one...seriously...I don't know anyone that doesn't have one. It probably will get a little addicting...I mean I am totally addicted to it..haha, but it hasn't ruined my life...lol. Now myspace, however...yeah that isn't too great, I have one, but I don't hardly ever get on there..so yeah, I would definitely go with facebook if you got anything.
Reply:Facebook started out as way for people in college to connect to friends and other peers in college, its more classy then myspace yet its starting to decline alittle with all the marketing crap thats been added, i would go with it though


What do you think about facebook?

Facebook can be nice, you can keep in touch with friends while you are away at college, etc. But I feel like it's not always as simple as it should be. Does anyone else feel like people manipulate certain information(relationship especially) and prune their facebooks(picture especially)? It's kind of like advertising yourself.

Whats so great about facebook?

ok i am only 14 and i have a myspace...but my older cuzins r like facebook is so much better....(i dont want one)....so what exactly is it??...i mean dont u hav to b in like college to have one?

Whats so great about facebook?
The one GREAT thing about Facebook, is it's easy to share your photos. So, say a group of you go out, and instead of having to tell everyone to send you the pics, on Facebook, each person loads them up to their page. Then they "tag" other people that are in the photo. Once someone is "tagged" it goes on their page, then they have the option of keeping it or deleting it.


One of my friends STILL hasn't sent me pictures from St. Patricks Day (she doesn't have a facebook) but I got the ones my other friend took, cause she put them up on facebook.


Sorry about the rant, but yeah, myspace is better except for that.
Reply:I think MySpace is better than Face Book. FaceBook is similar to MySpace in very few ways.





No, you don't have to be in college to have an account.
Reply:It's "neater" in terms of organization.





I'm 15 and in a high school network on facebook, but I still think myspace is better in means of customization.
Reply:Twitter.com is the next big thing.





It's like Friendster, MySpace, and Facebook but incredibly addictive.
Reply:It was originally meant for people in college, but since they opened it up to any and everyone it's now become some sort of myspace knockoff.





I used to like it when it was restricted to people in college. It was great because it was almost like a yearbook (as corny as it may sound). You'd see pics of everyone's drunken nights, bar hopping and just normal college junk like that
Reply:u dont have to be in college, any1 can join it


it is better.. it is spreading faster than anything else
Reply:If you are 14 you will probably like Myspace better. I am 41 and like Facebook better. For the very reasons that others have complained about Facebook are the reason I like it. I would rather have facebook because it has a cleaner look. It is standardized and best of all it does not have music on the pages. My kids love music on the pages.





This being said, it is just an opinion. People are different and like different things. If you ask ten people what is the best, you will get ten answers.





The answer is what ever you like. Try both and make your decision based on what you like. I hope that helps.
Reply:facebook is better because when you are in college you do not have time to keep changing your myspace layout all the time and changing your song. I know that you dont have to change it but after having it for a while you get sick of it!! Facebook you do not have to worry about that. People will come to your page to say hi just because they have something to say, not to leave stupid chain comments and stupid graphics on your page. Also you can tag people on it which is pretty cool. And you do not have to worry about stupid hackers adn dumb advertisements everywhere =]
Reply:it's mostly for high school and college students...you don't have to be though, but it's to keep in contact with other students. i'm kind of bored of it now, all you do is write messages on your friends profiles, join groups, and upload a bunch of photos and that's pretty much it...there's a few cool different features on it which i've never seen on any other site though.
Reply:no, you don't have to be in college to have one.


nothing is special about it in my opinion. it's pretty boring actually. you can't do anything with it like customize your profile. all you can do is put text on your page. pretty ghey if you ask me.


don't get one, myspace is alot better.

Is masturbating over Facebook acceptable?

15.5% of men admitted to masturbating to Facebook pictures (source: www.CollegeHumor.com/facebook-survey). The reaction to this is mixed. Some guys say 'yeah that's cool I do it', some say 'why not just watch porn?'. Girls say 'oh that's gross but I'd be flattered' or 'that's completely creepy and wrong'.





I would like to know if masturbating to Facebook (without the person's knowledge or consent) is acceptable or not. As teenagers, most guys must have wanked over fantasies of girls in thier class etc. In this digital age, hi-res photos of girls you know are available. Is masturbatng to them online so different?





Secondary Question:





Ocassionally, if I'm bored and in the mood - masturbate to pics of girls I find hot in my College. They are usually quite hot, girls I have met once or twice but don't know well. It is only this type of relationship to a girl that can get me off. If I know them too well, or they are strangers to me, I don't get off no matter how hot they are. Why is this?

Is masturbating over Facebook acceptable?
i do find it kinda gross but since you post your fotos there in public that means that its your fault/responsibility,for eg if dont want boys to masturbate with your picture the only way to stop this is to delete all your fotos....boys will always be boys we cant change that,they wont use porn probably because they prefer to see the face of the girl that they like instead of porn starring woman.


To second question well you wont masturbate with their foto because in a way is ethical wrong because you start to get to know them and therefore respect them,thats the reason y you cant get off.now if they are completely strangers to you maybe its because that you are not the kind of guy that gets really turned on just by looking at a girl but needs to know what type of person she is (approximately) for eg if she s a snob or not,a stupid or smart one.
Reply:Whatever floats your boat and gets you off...
Reply:first question: why not use porn? maybe it's just me or I don't have a good enough imagination but if a girl isn't naked, I'm not that turned on. I guess it's acceptable if you wanna do it.....who's gonna stop you?





Second question: hell if I know buddy
Reply:Primary question; I think its fine. I do it if theres a hot enough girl and I need to lose the rocks.





Secondary; You have an emotional attachments to them. Which is fair enough. That syndrome Doesnt affect me though
Reply:Ofcourse maturbating is about those women u cant f.u.c.k in real life ....definiltly u r not gonna ask every woman u fantacise about "Hey hey can i fuc.k u in my dream"...
Reply:Just make sure you have plenty of screen wipes. And dont leave the keyboard all sticky.
Reply:O_O


Some girls will be freaked out!...pwnd
Reply:permission granted my friend it would be better with cyber sex of the girl your strummin your pink guitar too but hey as long as they bounce ill pounce





question 2 idk but i think you could make a sitcom if you ever dated
Reply:you can orgasm to anything if you use this technic, take a banana peel toss it in the microwave for 20 seconds wrap it around your johnson and have fun , you can even look at pictures of your sisters and have an orgasm

CAN SOMEONE ANSWER THiS ABOUT MYSPACE & FACEBOOK ?!?!?

i dont have either, but curious i know college kids have a ton of people on their friends list because they know high school %26amp; college people, but i was surprised when i saw how many everyone had. in hs mainly, i know kids who i never thought knew anyone, and on avergae hs people have 150-300 friends. particularly facebook im talking, am i missing something or do people just make their friends list with basically anyone they remotely know or in their school/grade? is their a lot of chatting going on, other than "hey, what's up", between the 300 friends of these people, or is it usually just like ten or so they relly talk on a daily/weekly basis?? talking hs kids here, im not familiar with it.

CAN SOMEONE ANSWER THiS ABOUT MYSPACE %26amp; FACEBOOK ?!?!?
myspace is lame, facebook are for people that are more respectful.
Reply:people dont always add just people they already know... you can browse all the myspace users and people will add other people randomly as friends just because they have something in common or they are attracted to that person or some just to have the most friends
Reply:well I dont know everyone on my friends list but i only talk to about 10 of them daily. The others is a "sup" once in a while
Reply:SOME personally know who's on their buddy list but with others it's more of a popularity thing as far as who can get the most friends.


Is it true that women would most likely to respond to a facebook message?

I am just trying to hook up with someone, and I get the feeling that facebook would be better than myspace because women would feel more comfortable. (college campus)

Is it true that women would most likely to respond to a facebook message?
try doing it in person. that is a lot more successful. i do not know how many lies you are telling me on facebook, but if i see you in person in the quad or between classes i can know you are for real, and not some creepy old pervert.


(you might still be a creepy young pervert, but at least i will know what you look like)


Creepy to add a girl on Facebook after just meeting her???

I'm a 22 year old college student and on the second day of classes, I met a very attractive girl. We actually have more than 1 class together so we didn't meet right away.





She finally introduced herself to me today and I introduced myself to her of course.





I'm confused if I should do anything now or what. I'm thinking about adding her on facebook because I know her first name and I can just look her last name up on the class roster. But I'm afraid it might look creepy.





What should I do?





If you were a girl in this situation and a guy from a class that you weren't particularily interested in sent you a message over facebook or myspace, would you think it was creepy or would you not think too much of it.

Creepy to add a girl on Facebook after just meeting her???
I would wait and talk to her a bit more in class first, then add her on facebook after that.
Reply:No, I wouldn't think it was creepy (especially if he's cute) but I probably would suspect he has a bit of interest in me. Considering you barely know her, it might give you away. But then again, there are lots of people who will friend anyone they recognize or have made eye contact with before.





Why don't you get to know her a little better, talk to her casually in class. Wait till you've had a few more conversations and then it will seem less weird if you add her as a friend. Don't rely on facebook to get to know her or ask her out. If you talk to her more and get to know her personally, you won't have to worry about looking weird by adding her AND you can get a feel as to whether she's interested or not.
Reply:It's good you are considering that it might be creepy. That tells me, it's NOT creepy. If you thought it was fine and you were just moving forward with it, it'd be weird. Maybe just say "Hey add me to your Facebook" and let HER add YOU. Then it's all fine.
Reply:id do it, if she asks why just say ur in my class so i wanted to add you, i did it to all my new friends, dosent really say anything
Reply:thats not creepy at all
Reply:Send her a poke.
Reply:wait to add her until you have seen and talked to her once or twice more. then that away youll be sure that wasnt just a once time thing.
Reply:maybe you shouldn't do it yet. get to know her for a bit then you can ask her for her permission i guess to add her or something. or maybe you can casually slip it in about wanting to add her or something. just don't do it now, wait a little bit longer
Reply:I would be flattered if I were her.
Reply:She might find that a little bit creepy. Talk to her some more and get to know her better. If you just suddenly add her she might wonder, "Did he go on Facebook and look just to see if I had one?" That seems like a stalker. One day while you two are talking casually ask, "Hey, do you have a Facebook/Myspace?" If she says yes say, "Cool, would it be okay if I added you as one of my friends?"





I wouldn't just go and look her up on Facebook.
Reply:probably should become a better friend in real life first. Use facebook to stay connected not to connect..
Reply:it's only facebook. go for it


Should I get Facebook?

Looking for any advice on whether or not I should get Facebook? I had set up an account a year and a half ago during the first week my school was on there and then spent 8 hours that first day making my profile, looking up friends (both new and old), and looking up random people from my school. It was then that I realized how much time I wasted and how addictive it was so I closed my account that same day. All of my friends are on it and are telling me to get it since many of them are either graduating from college this year or go to schools in other states and say it helps to keep in touch. I've been preaching against it and resisting the urge to join, but reconsidering now. Let me know what you think.





Thanks...

Should I get Facebook?
It is indeed VERY addictive. I have spent many hours on it. BUT, that being said, I also find it to be a really great way to keep in touch with my friends from other schools! Plus, after you've looked at everything, you can leave it alone for several weeks, just checking it when someone leaves a comment on your wall or sends you a message.
Reply:My daughter is part of it and it does help her keep in touch with her friends who have went to other colleges. It is also how her boyfriend broke up with her. He had the nerve to first post that he had a weird relationship with her--then he changed it to say he was single.
Reply:I have Facebook, and it is a great way to keep up with friends. In fact, I would say it is one of the best ways to reconnect with old friends because the forum is fairly closed - ie, you have to have a valid .edu address and people must be recognized by you in order to view your personal information. However, it can be addictive; I have friends who spend hours a day on Facebook. I think it is like any other website or game; it can be a great tool so long as you practice restraint and use it in moderation. That being said, happy facebooking!
Reply:I love Facebook. It's addictive at first but then you get over it. You just have to learn to control yourself. Go ahead. The pros outweigh the cons by a mile.
Reply:It's addictive for about the first few weeks. After you've had it for a while you tend to completely ignore it. I used to be addicted to facebook and now I don't even think of "Facebook People" as real human beings anymore.





That being said, yes, it is good for keeping in touch with people. My advice to you is if that you're worried about wasting valuable academic time (like I am right now) wait until the current semester ends (if it hasn't already for you) and then re-open your account.
Reply:heyblue, not anymore with the edu address since there is now facebook for high school(is anybody as mad as I am about this). Anyway,scott, you got good advices,but still want to offer my two cents.





Yes Facebook is addictive, but curb the amt of time you spend on it. Not only is it a great way to keep up with friends,it's also good for keeping up with teachers. I had an english teacher who sent the class updates and posted homework links on there.





Finally if you're the type(like me) that hates calling people, it's a great way to talk to people without hearing their voices and wasting minutes.





Happy Facebooking.
Reply:Just look ahead and see if you'd be willing to email your entire class your new email address each and every time. Having a profile (either facebook or myspace) is like having your own private website you can update with stuff about you. including email addresses.

Guys who use facebook answer please?

There is this guy in one of my classes (im in college). I don’t know him at all, I think Ive had one conversation with him. He seems nice but I thought he had a gf.


I had a field trip yesterday, and I talked to him just a little bit there, and I noticed he was looking at me (not like staring, just looking at me longer than normal) Ive learned to pick up stuff like this cause a lot of guys have started liking me in college. Still, I don’t want to read into things. He added me as a friend on Facebook (I have mine blocked unless you add me), which is weird. I was kinda expecting it, because this has happened to me before (a guy who sat in my philosophy class last year looked at me a lot and then added me as a friend though I did not know him at all) but I noticed he is single. I am just wondering if maybe he is interested?

Guys who use facebook answer please?
Yes, he's definitely interested. Depending on the type of guy he is, he either wants a one-nighter or he's seriously interested in dating you. That's what you need to figure out.

People can do what they want but I just find it a little weird. But maybe it's just me. If a guy ever masturbated to my picture I would really not like to know about it.
Reply:Stop it...you'll go blind boy !


In answer to the first question...."(without the person's knowledge or consent)".....wtf.....So you are saying you would actually go and ask a persons permission to do the five knuckle shuffle over their photo ?......There is a term for this kind of question, it's called 'sexual harassment'





In answer to the secondary question:


1. Go and buy some clearasil,


2. Wash your clothes


3. Actually go and talk (Not smuttily) to one of said hot college girls and you might find the answer to both questions solved because one of them might actually do the wanking for you.


4. Stop posting bane questions on yahoo questions and try to actually get laid.
Reply:ok stop masturbating


its gay and wat r u gonna say i lost my virginity 2 my HAND?


do all guys do this?
Reply:Wot kind of stupid questions is this. I ;d be umbarased to have wanked over a girl i knew in ym skool, and seeing them wud jsut be weird.


You need to question yoru self if girls in your class masterbate over guys on facebook? If they do then its fair if not then its not.

It is only this type of relationship to a girl that can get me off. If I know them too well, or they are strangers to me, I don't get off no matter how hot they are. Why is this?

Is masturbating over Facebook acceptable?
well, i think it is acceptable (the first question) and i know lots of people who do ( i dont personally). to me, i dont think there is much of a difference between thinking about the girl and seeing a picture, as it si the same thought. in addition, if a girl puts up a promiscuous picture, they probably know what it could be used for.





to the 2nd question, probably b/c if theyre strangers, thats stalkerish. if theyre good friends, that'd be creepy too.
Reply:question 1-yes it is acceptable. its not like u r doing anything to the girls. masturbating is just like, u think the girl is hot, and u enjoy urslef. its like if you think about someone.
Reply:YES!
Reply:First off this is NOT a relationship. You, your computer, and your hand. You need to see a shrink, you are saying a machine turns you on -- but not real, LIVE kissy-face people





most people prefer sex with real live people who can kiss and/or lick them back





the computer will only hurt you


Is it true that women would most likely to respond to a facebook message?

I am just trying to hook up with someone, and I get the feeling that facebook would be better than myspace because women would feel more comfortable. (college campus)

Is it true that women would most likely to respond to a facebook message?
I wouldnt recommend finding a date on facebook or myspace. Guys that have sent me messages asking to hang out I ignore and delete. Meeting girls in person is much better. Finding people on line seems kinda creepy especially when ur in college and you have so many places to socialize.
Reply:if they go to your school maybe. or if they are in your network. but alot of times i get messages from guys, and i know they can't even see my profile... so why are they trying to add me as a friend?? if you actually have something in common with them you stand a chance. if you don't... you don't.


Girl and facebook....?

I have been hooking up with this girl since about July. We would also talk on facebook as well (private messages and wall messages) she is a senior in highschool and i am a sophmroe in college (17-19) she recently said she does not like that we are friends on facebook. I asked her why and she was like..."i just can't explain it...I just hate highschool".....she said we can be "facebook friends" in like the summer again..hahah...I mean...i can still view her profile and stuff but....ya....what do you think are her reasons?..nothing has changed between us.

Girl and facebook....?
It sounds like she's probably getting crap from her friends/random people in high school for talking to you. Maybe they're calling her desperate for outsourcing to guys from other schools, maybe they think you're unattractive and are teasing her about you. There are so many petty reasons in high school, and you can never really know until you talk to her. It sounds as though she's insecure and confused about where she's at. You could just say something to her like "I don't understand why you don't want other people to see we're friends, that's all we are, friends. Let me know if I did or said something to offend you or turn you off."


Did he block me from accessing his facebook?

I can view my facebook friend's photographs but when I try to enlarge them to get a closer look, it says that either the link has expired, the photo is temporarily unavailable or I don't have permission to view the picture. They are in a college network different from mine, and they were group photos... did my friend block me from accessing their facebook profile?

Did he block me from accessing his facebook?
No they did not block you intetionally. What happened is the person who posted the picture has set their privacy settings to only allow their friends to view the photos they post. You could friend the friend-of-a-friend, or you could ask your friend to post the picture you cannot view on his profile so you could see it.
Reply:If the photos you are trying to view are not from an album of your friend but a pic posted in one of his friends albums you may not be able to see it. You can have privacy settings so that only your friends are able to view your pics. Hope this makes sense. :)
Reply:hmm that has happened to me...idk why..
Reply:Why have you been a jerk ? or are you kinda stalking them right now ??





Seems a little weird why you if they were actually your close friend that you haven't called them and said





" hey I have this problem my friend I cant do xy%26amp;z Do you know the reason for this?"








Instead you come here to ask the world as you cannot approach your "friend"





Weird huh .... Why don't you stop stalking ? chill out get a life..

CAN SOMEONE ANSWER THiS ABOUT MYSPACE/ FACEBOOK ?!?!?!?!?!?

i dont have either, but curious i know college kids have a ton of people on their friends list because they know high school %26amp; college people, but i was surprised when i saw how many everyone had. in hs mainly, i know kids who i never thought knew anyone, and on avergae hs people have 150-300 friends. particularly facebook im talking, am i missing something or do people just make their friends list with basically anyone they remotely know or in their school/grade? is their a lot of chatting going on, other than "hey, what's up", between the 300 friends of these people, or is it usually just like ten or so they relly talk on a daily/weekly basis?? talking hs kids here, im not familiar with it.

CAN SOMEONE ANSWER THiS ABOUT MYSPACE/ FACEBOOK ?!?!?!?!?!?
Okay, this is a lengthy one...lol With MySpace and FaceBook both, anyone can become anyone's friend. There are some profiles that you have to become a friend in order to see it, even if you don't know that person. As for the chat, that depends on the individual, but I have found that most only talk to a few chosen friends, and not everyone. Chat is time consumng, and can be a learning curve due to all of the acronyms that are used. At my site below under Internet Talk is a compiled list of the most used ones that you will see if you decide to venture into the world of chat. Hope this helps

I think they would be annoyed. The reason people fled Myspace for facebook was all of the unsolicited friend requests and the lack of privacy. I think you would be better off learning to meet people in person.


A guy wants to meet me in person after talking on facebook. What can I tell him?

I originally join facebook to keep in touch with my friends who went off to college. I never once thought of it as an online dating site. Anyway, I added this guy as my friend a while back and every now and then he will send me a message and I respond to them. Well now it's been two months of us going back and forth with the messages. Now he has sent me a message saying he wants to meet up with me and he left his number. I'm not really into meeting up with people that I meet off the Internet, and besides if he thinks he can meet up with me that easily, it will kind of make me look like the easy girl that hooks up with Internet strangers. How can I reply to his request without coming off too harsh?

A guy wants to meet me in person after talking on facebook. What can I tell him?
In his messages- is he elluding to trying to get in your pants or does he seem genuine in wanting a friendship at first? I say meet him in a public place with two friends with you. There's no harm in meeting someone off the net. Live a little!! Just remember-public place and a friend or two.
Reply:Maybe like I'm not into meeting up with Internet strangers and I can't (say you are busy?) or meet him with a group of friends.
Reply:I too am communicating with a friend I met online....on myspace. We have been talking for hours on end at times, and are pretty close (at least it seems that way). I would NEVER%26lt; NEVER%26lt; NEVER meet him in person. We both know that we are "online" friends, and we tell each other almost everything, but you have to have some boundaries. You have no clue who this person is in real life. He may have fabricated everything he told you online. Please play it safe and keep this friendship via the net :) If he is a true friend, he will understand your hesitation.
Reply:dial *67 and then his phone number and dont tell him who u r and just questin him about stuff
Reply:Tell him your not totally comfortable with meeting up with guys you meet online........he should understand and if he doesn't than he's probably some crazy internet-stalker. Maybe start off with a phone call instead.
Reply:well if he doesnt live near you then you can just use that as an excuse but if he does, then just say that your;; too busy, having stressful times, or somethin like that. dont say its weird meeting up with ppl u dont know or that u feel uncomfortable. even tho it doesnt sound too harsh to you, itll probably feel harsh or mean to him.





good luck =]
Reply:Why did you add the poor guy as a friend in the first place? You've probably led him on by talking to him for two months, and I don't think his request is out-of-line.





If you don't want to meet him, just tell him... And tell him why. He'll understand.
Reply:If you honestly have no intentions of meeting him then don't and just tell him that. On the other hand I met a girl off facebook in almost the exact same situation. It's not at all strange to want to meet someone you've been talking to. If you want to meet in a public place he could turn out to be a really cool guy.


Should I leave a Facebook Comment or not?

So I met this chick at college and dumb me forgot to ask for her number. I know she likes me, and I kinda like her, and she added me on her facebook.





The next time I see her, I plan on getting her number so we can hangout.





but, in the meantime, I haven't seen her in a while, so should I leave a random facebook comment or not?





I know facebook is a nerdy thing, and I don't normally use it to communicate with potential females that i would like to date, but I want to communicate with her somehow.





should not leave her a random comment and wait till i see her again (who knows when) and get her number and hangout?





Or should i leave her a random facebook comment in the mean time to pass time?

Should I leave a Facebook Comment or not?
go for it
Reply:personally i think you should just msg her something random like hey lon time no see! just something light nothing stockerish....it will let her know that you remember her and who know maybe shes like me and is a facebook addict! lol i love when guys msg me...makes me feel loved! if she doesnt answer u in a couple days then dont try again that will look real stocker like! lol!
Reply:leave the comment so at least she knows that you havent forgot about her and are still interested.


worst comes to worst....it is just a facebook comment.
Reply:ya u should totally leave her a comment- something funny that kind of requires an answer ???
Reply:thumbs up on the message drop.
Reply:Do it!
Reply:just ask her.


facebook is the bomb btw. :D

Boyfriends=myspace/facebook addiction?

My boyfriend ALWAYS has to check his myspace and facebook EVERYDAY! and when I am around him when he's on, he'll snap at me like crazy! he procrastinates with all of his work and now he's on academic probation in our first semester of college! I want his attention and I want him to do better! WHAT DO I DO???

Talk to him about this. He has an addiction and he needs to be helped or he's going to regret this later in life. You need to help him and get him off myspace/facebook!

On Facebook, how can you edit info on how you know your friends?

I usually add friends and never give details on how I know them, but now I'd like to.





Like , "I traveled with this person in 2007" or "I went to college with this person."





However, how would I go about doing this on Facebook?





Thank you!

On Facebook, how can you edit info on how you know your friends?
1. Sign into your account.


2. Click on the Friends tab on the top row.


3. You will see a list of friends with recent status updates. in each friend's box, there will be a small "x" on the right hand side. To the left of the "x" is a square window looking icon. Click on it.


4. You should see "Details" and a question "How do you know _____?" Click on that.


5. Edit the details of how you know the person.


6. A confirmation will be sent to the friend. After the friend confirms, the details will appear when you pull up their profile.





Note: You can do the same for friends that don't show up on the initial list by search for the friend.
Reply:You find that friend in your friends list (on top of the page, click "All friends"), and you click on it so that more info about that person comes up. There will be a link that says "How do you know ___?", or "Edit details".


Do any teachers keep their myspace or facebook pages when they start teaching?

I'm a junior in college--majoring in Elementary Education. I will be student teaching next semester and then once I graduate I hope to get a job in the public school system.


I'm looking for only serious answers here!


I'm wondering if there are any teachers out there now who have a myspace or facebook page/had a myspace or facebook page? I'm wondering if it is worth the risk to keep a myspace/facebook page. I'm careful with pictures I post, things I say and how I portray myself. Plus I am able to keep in touch with so many friends over the internet. I'm just still not sure if I want my students, or parents of my students seeing a myspace page with me on it, never mind the principal of the school!


Does anyone have real life advice on this one? Anyone with similar situations?

Do any teachers keep their myspace or facebook pages when they start teaching?
I, as well as a few of my teaching friends, have myspace pages. We use them to stay in contact with old classmates, roommates, and family members. The pictures that we post are tasteful and are definitely school appropriate. I know of teachers posting questionable pictures and getting in trouble for it. We all have ours private and we don't use our real names so they are not search able. Just use good judgment when posting pictures and messages. By the way, welcome to the wonderful world of teaching!!!
Reply:my bio teacher had one and we all knew about it


keep it private for friends only if you want
Reply:I am a HS student who wants to go into teaching, and I've thought of this hypothetically before (alot of time on my hands) and I always considered the option of disguising it and possibly not having a facial picture as your main picture, and not using your name (as it isn't mandatory in MySpace). There are of course ways that that could not be a benefit such as if friends want to find you. Then on the other hand, you mentioned elementary school so I doubt your students would even have those accounts to look for you because the minimum age for either is 14 which would be at least eighth grade and up.
Reply:I had a substitute one day and she was on her laptop and someone walked behind her and he said she was on Myspace,but it doesnt really matter,practically everyone in my 6th grade has a Myspace.
Reply:I teach middle school and have a myspace. It is private, not because I am a teacher, but because I do not want the world knowing all about me. I add students to my friends list if they ask me but do not ask them. I have never had any problems except getting TMI from bulletins that kids have posted.


I do want to warn you that future employers will probably google your name so make sure there is nothing that you would not want your boss seeing.
Reply:Since you are majoring in Elementary Education you shouldn't have the problems that I assume Middle School, High School, and College teachers have. I am an elementary school teacher, and I have a myspace page. I feel like my page is appropriate, but it is also private. Don't worry about it. If you want to keep your page, keep it. If you are really, really worried don't keep it. I, personally, don't think twice about it; If your careful with pictures and content you should be fine no matter who sees it.
Reply:I am a teacher, and I've read the other answers; yet, I feel many fail to mention that while a myspace page is within your rights as a person, as a teacher, do you want to risk your job--and possibly your career--because something on a web page is considered inappropriate by any number of different families you will come into contact with.





Certainly, myspace accounts can be set up as "private," but what happens when someone (a current student) learns the exact URL to your page (it can be done)? Is this worth it?





What happens when some "unusual" family (this is being extremely nice; but there are some wacko families out there) wants to scrutinize you and your business?





Moreover, what happens when the real s*** hits the fan, and the school, school district, or student learns you have an active myspace.com account and uses the info. on it against you.





Teachers need to be extremely careful not to jeopardize themselves.





I am not an alarmist by nature; however, I think the syntax of your question implies you already know the answer to your own question.





My advice: Follow your instincts...
Reply:Well, when ever you apply for a job, they usually check for you on the interent, and how you really are. So it is a bad idea to have a myspace account up, and it is really bad if you are about to become a teacher, because for us students myspace and facebook is tottaly off limits during school, and if they find you on it during school, they call your parents and stuff.
Reply:If you do decide to keep these, make sure they are protected. Let only people you are friends with be able to view your entire profile. Myspace is iffy... some schools may even flat out say that you need to get rid of that account if you have one. It's just a risky way for your students to find out more about you. Facebook I can definately understand keeping. Just make sure you adjust your privacy settings. Make sure only people that are your friends can see your profile... not friends of friends... you never know where a connection may be made. And double check what you've listed as links. Do you have a Xanga or Live Journal account? If so... get ALL your entries protected. Tell your friends that if they want to continue to read your journal they have to sign up for an account so you can put them on your list. Also... make sure you know where your AIM screen name is listed, you don't want to make a connection through there either.





As long as you up your privacy settings... and it's not against your schools "guidelines" you should be ok. Just make sure you pay attention to what you post publically... think about if it's something you want a student or parent to be seeing about their teacher.


Opinion: Myspace, Facebook, etc. being blocked in schools - do you support this or not?

Myspace, Xanga, Facebook and others are being blocked in schools throughout the country. Proposed legislation has even proposed banning access to some of these from public libraries.





I know that people can be quite stupid about the pictures and content that they post on myspace. I'm aware of the bullying and intimidation that goes on and the threats and alleged defamation against school officials and faculty.





What happened to free-speech, though? Are these sites REALLY that bad. After all, high schoolers and college students could be participating in MUCH more dangerous activities than Myspace and I see it as a useful social networking site - I use it to keep in contact with old friends and meet new ones.





AIM and other chat programs are the new telephone and Myspace the new street corner. Like it or not, people chat online and network via these sites. Why is there such a move to restrict these mediums?





Is it simply a bunch of stuck-up individuals?


Weren't you young once too?

Opinion: Myspace, Facebook, etc. being blocked in schools - do you support this or not?
Yes it's a good idea because students will be on myspace all day instead of learning. Myspace is like crack for some people.
Reply:EVERYWHERE I GO BLOCKS MYSPACE. I DONT KNOW WHY.
Reply:the thing is, most people who cant wait to get home to use these sites are too stupid anyway, and should be learning instead of going on these website. There are way dumber websites blocked across the country, and as a high school student even I can see why they are banned
Reply:I support it. I can't access it at school, so why should anyone else?
Reply:everyone is on the net and talking through cell phones too much these days. its called going outside and actually talking with friends

Facebook- finding old friends to poke or not to poke?

i put in this guy's name that I went to college with, he was totally in love with e, but I didn't feel the same. Anyway we were good friends and now 17 yrs late I have found him on facebook and I know its him because he has his brother as a friend, but he looks totally different and is a right twat by the looks of it, nothing at all like he was at college. Now I don't know if I should poke him or not?

Facebook- finding old friends to poke or not to poke?
Looks can be decieving. If you want to speak to him, don't poke him, send him a message asking if he remembers you. If you're not bothered, poke him and see if he does anything like tries to contact you because he remembers you or something.

Sending my crush a facebook message?

Theres this girl at my college who is in one of the clubs im in but doesnt know I exist. I saw her at a party tonight but didnt say anything and I really regret it. This wouldbe be a huge problem but I rarely see her around campus so I feel like I missed my chance. Would it be weird if I sent her a facebook message and told her that I have a crush on her and I regret not approaching her at his party? I dont want to seem creepy. I would start off the message by saying something like "I hope I dont come across as weird by talking to you through facebook but..." What do you think

Sending my crush a facebook message?
Tell this so frankly would be kind of queer, yeah...





But if you like her, if you have her in your facebook, send her nice messages to become closer.


If you don't start by adding her, if she accepts she doesn't hate you.





And once you message about everything and nothing, ask her if she would like to go to a café after college once, let her decide when.





So, you'll see her again...





You can not ask a girl you barely know to go out with you, that would be so queer.... But you can learn to know her, to be closer...


Then, to see if she likes you also, take her hand, that may seem childish way (like lovers take hands like when you are 10), but if she likes you, she'll keep your hand.


And if she doesnt or not ready for that, she'll refuse you touch her.





But don't send messages to be so direct, face-to-face is way better.


Send messages and be nice, then manage to find time to really see her, to approache her, then let her know.





If you tell you like her like that, she'll find you queer.


If you invite her for a cup of coffee she'll find you nice.
Reply:I think there's an applications which allows you to send people aynonmous messages so you might want to start from there. It's nice to tell people you like them but if she really has a bad reaction dont push her, maybe she's just not used to being liked. take it easy,


I met someone through facebook that I have never met before. However, we have mutual friends.?

I was on facebook leaving my friend a comment, and I noticed this other guy that left a comment. I added him to be my friend, which is completely out of the ordinary for me. Ever since then we have talked everyday, either through email, texting, or talking on the phone. I have connected with him on a level I never thought possible. I am trying to think of every possible way this could go wrong. He is friends with a few people I went to high school with. I even googled his name, and his stories add up. He said he went to college for a golf scholarship, and a newspaper article with that very college came up with his name in it. I have no problems meeting men but, I feel weird meeting someone this way, At the sametime, I feel like I could really have something with him. He is the first person I talk to in the morning and the last at night. I am flying to Miami from Atlanta to see him... am I crazy? I just need some words of wisdom or encouragement.

I met someone through facebook that I have never met before. However, we have mutual friends.?
I actually thought you were going to ask a similar question that I've seen before which is "I met this person through facebook. I comment everyday. Do I have a chance?"





But you talk to him everyday through email, texting and even talking on the phone. I don't think that you are crazy. It's possible to meet someone on facebook. The fact that you communicated with him through pretty much every possible way that separated people can communicate, shows that you are ready to meet him.





Because you are going to meet him face to face for the first time, I think that you should just know that he may not be what you expect in terms of personality...but I guess that sort of takes care of that since you talked to him on the phone.
Reply:i think thats a lovely story! dosent seem crazy to me, sounds normal i guess, you go for it, and a great thing is that u both have mutual friends so thats a bonus! awwww thats put a nice smile on my face! xxxxx good luck!
Reply:You seem to really trust him so I say go for it.


Just make sure you meet in a public place and bring your mobile etc just so that if by chance it does go wrong you'll be pretty safe.





I hope it works out for you (:
Reply:girl go for it...





i met a guy on HI5 (close to the same thing as facebook) and now 1 year later, we are married... and so in love...





you never know what could happen...





you arent crazy... do it... it might be a good outcome...
Reply:sex him up.
Reply:Your just second guessing yourself. Things will go fine but just be careful when your with him online relationships can be bad. But good luck
Reply:Well you do what you want when you meet him, but make sure that everyone knows where you're going, has his name and contact number. Give them his address where you're going to be and call again as soon as you get there with the actual address.





If you've got a camera phone, just get him to pose with you for a "cute pic" of the 2 of you and then text it to a friend. This way everybody knows what he really looks like, who you're with, where you are, so god forbid if something DOES happen at least the cavalry will know where to find you.





just some words of advice. good luck, hope it works out.


Cant view facebook profile even after being friends?

I have a friend on facebook and she accepted my invitation to be friends but I still cant view her page I can only "send message" "poke" "view friends" or "add to friends". Thats how it is with EVERYONES acoount. I thought maybe it was because the email i used to create my account wasnt from a college or high school, it was my AOL e-mail. I just graduated High School so I no longer have an e-mail there and my college doesnt give you e-mails, so what do I do? Ive tried to contact facebook but theyre not very helpful at all!

Cant view facebook profile even after being friends?
You are set as a limited profile in their friends.
Reply:The problem maybe due to the fact that you are not in d same network grouping as your friends or pple on ut friends list.


And if the ppl whose profiles you are trying to view hav thier privacy settings set at only those individuals within their network can view thier full profile.resulting in you seeing only thier profile picture and network and poke, send message or add to friend options.


If u are in d same network as your friends or others and u still cannot view thier full profile then you maybe on their limited profile view list.


So i guess ur best option maybbe to join the same network as your friends or send them a messages telling them that u cannot view their profile.


Sending a message to the administrrators of facebook may be a waste of time becuz it may take awhile b4 u get your problem fixed.
Reply:I would keep contacting the facebook people. Give them a couple of days. Also some of your friends may have set there profiles so that you can only view their limited profiles.
Reply:Unfortunately you are going to have to go through them. You could always create a new Facebook account if facebook tech support doesnt fix the problem.
Reply:they probably, set u on limited showing profile


Privacy/facebook question!?

my bro has a facebook... i'm thinking of getting one when i go to college in aug. 08...cuz he's 24 and he thinks of me as his little sis. so if he finds i have a facebook he might freak...but if i wait i think he wont tell my 'rents...


what do you think i should do?

Privacy/facebook question!?
facebook is extremely private as long as you put the settings that way. I also use my middle name as my last name instead so it's hard for people to find me unless they know my email or are friends with one of my friends.





I think if you're going off to college you're old enough to have a facebook....
Reply:you are going to be living on your own. do what you want and take responsibility for it.
Reply:well your old enough to get it, you only have to be in high school (11) in the UK, so it shouldnt be that bigger deal. Just get it because many people at university or college can use it to keep in touch with people and meet friends at ur college. Just be careful. Its also great for keeping in touch with old friends and long lost relatives.

Myspace vs. Facebook?

I am going to college (hopefully) in the fall.... and all my friends have both myspace and facebook. I have heard a lot of those stories about sexual predators and stuff on myspace... but i like the fact that i can design the page on myspace. I like Facebook because it seems safer.... but it is not as exciting.. it also seems more mature. Which one do you like better and why?

Myspace vs. Facebook?
I like facebook better. You dont really have to worry about all the trojans on there like you have to worry about on facebook

i definitely prefer myspace


you can edit the page


there isnt a million places to upload your pictures to


you dont constantly have those requests about getting applications


and its easier to find the links (:

facebook is more friend orientated.


facebook also allows you to see ALL the things your friends do on there.


most people don't add randoms on facebook, that is more of a myspace thing.

Why? %26gt;%26gt;%26gt;%26gt;


It IS safer! I think it's MUCH more organized as well! On myspace people can change their names and you have NO idea who you're adding. On Facebook you know exactly who you're adding, and what network their from. You have options of what information you show and what info you DON'T show, and I love it. They are also making up new applications everyday to make your profile more pretty and awesome! :)





Good luck!

Reply:You can set the privacy setting on myspace so that only people you add can see it.. And on facebook, it's pretty much the same thing.. People can only see your profile if you add them..
Reply:Facebook. You can't design you own page but I like it so much better. Not to mention, at my college, everyone has it instead of MySpace.
Reply:MYSPACE MYSPACE MYSPACE MYSPACE MYSPACE MYSPACE MYSPACE MYSPACE MYSPACE MYSPACE MYSPACE! it is sooo amazing! you can have LOADS of friends put SO MANY cool things on your profile and you can get playlists and stufff and have all your favorite songs and you can talk to your friends in like EVERY WAY YOU CAN IMAGINE! you could message them, comment them, IM them, OR you can post a bulletin and tell all your friends about it at the same time! OMG I KNOW RIGHT?! yeah and the whole predator thing DOESNT happen as much as they make you think. myspace is very safe because its up to you for how safe you want to make it. you can have EVERYTHING on your profile private if you wanted and then only your friends can see it so only the people you know and trust can see your stuff if you want. hope this helps

So confused about this girl in my college wtf?? plz help?

Well, there's this girl named Melissa who i met on facebook and she's like a week new in my college. Anyways, we started messaging back and forth, and she said hi to me when she saw me in class b/c she recognized me from our messages...anyways...her messages to me were kind of bland, she didn't initiate conversation online, nor did she ask me many questions back. My first question: Why would she go out of her way to say hi to me in person, and not on facebook? Now, i read this conversation between her and another person in my grade...i know its snooping...This guy asked her to hang out (they've never hung out beofre) and she said "sure...this is random but do you know (my name) because he keeps calling me and I don't really know who he is." Now let me set this straight, I asked for her number on facebook so we could chill sometime, and she gave it to me. I called her ONCE, and told her i would like to get to know her. Why would she tell this guy I keep calling her? I don't get it!!!

So confused about this girl in my college wtf?? plz help?
Maybe she's just not comfortable with starting conversations online or on the phone with people she doesn't really know. after all what do parents all tell us about not talking to strangers and the like? It takes some getting used to that in college everybody is a stranger and you have to take the initiative sometimes to get to know people. In my opinion she was fishing for info about you in case that guy was a friend of yours. She just wanted some background. It's a good sign that she's thinking about you and not just blowing you off or something. Try sitting near her in class and start talking about class, the football team, whatever--just make small talk and take it from there. (take a look at my question if you can!)
Reply:dam that is confusing......something like that happened to me too with a guy i knew and it was really annoying but anyways.....girls like to exaggerate things like that to make the situation bigger than it really is ....to answer yourfirst question....maybe she wanted to say hi to you in person because she'd rather talk to you in person than online...but she seems like someone who doesn't really know what she wants because of what shes saying and how she's acting towards you....i think that you could find someone much better and more mature than that...hope you clear up your situation
Reply:She's probally into the other guy and wants him too see that other men are interested in her. She kind of seems like a snob to me you shouldn't waste your time on her.
Reply:Drop that crap dude. Too much P---y in college to play that game.

What do you think about facebook pictures?

This is my first year in college and I'm starting to spend way too much time on facebook. Half the time I'm looking at other people's pictures, and I find that I unconsciously judge people based on them. Some people have hundreds of pictures, many of which they're posing skankily in or getting drunk at frat parties or in their rooms. Or they're just having photo shooting sessions in their dorms with their friends. I automatically assume that these people have many friends and they're loving college and they're having sooo much fun. I also assume that the people in their pictures are their really good friends (but a lot of time they might just be acquaintences). Then when I see someone who doesn't have a lot of pictures from college, I assume that they don't hang out with their halls, or they don't have a lot of friends, or they're very independent people. As for me, I basically have no pictures from college and then I start worrying that others will judge me. Sorry I'm so shallow!!!

What do you think about facebook pictures?
People are people. They are no different from you.
Reply:Don't worry, we don't blame you. It's like a new era now, moving on from Myspace and into Facebook. It's like something we do everyday now, check Facebook. But by the end of the day, we make 'Facebook friends' and we all look at each other's pictures and then make assumptions about people, it's normal. Just as long as you keep thos little judgements to yourself, it'll all be good.


Does colleges look at myspace and or facebook because if you have 1 they will not let u in or what happens?

No way man.... Collages don't waste their time checking to see your personal info. And even if they do, that probably wont affect if you get in or not... unless you own like a porn site or something haha.


But when you're getting a job it is very possible that they will try to view your myspace or facebook page.





Hope that helps :)

Does colleges look at myspace and or facebook because if you have 1 they will not let u in or what happens?
no colleges do not look at your facebook or myspace for admission purposes they only care about your sat and gpa and how much money they can get out of you i mean if they really did police facebook and myspace there would be no need for frats and sorority's in college cuz they wouldnt let all those cocky guys and the sluts in school
Reply:Right. You probably won't get into college.
Reply:thats complete bull sh!t....forget what u heard bub, all my stoner friends are in colleges like Maryland and MIT with myspaces and such...you're pretty safe...Now employers are a different story ;)
Reply:yup. they wont let you in if you have a myspace page. hahahahahahahahaha





everyone has a myspace page. just dont put stuff on there you dont want people to know about you.
Reply:some colleges do look at your myspace or facebook pages because they want to see the "real you". i'd say that alot of colleges aren't going to go through 100000000 networking pages, but there is a chance that they will. so, i would take off any questionable or suggestive info and it should be okay. colleges aren't going to not let you in if they see a dirty joke your friend posted or something.. but as a precaution, yeah, delete it.


Instructors communicating with students via Facebook or Myspace. Good? Bad? Who cares!?

I am an instructor at a small college affiliated with a larger university. I just started using Facebook and MySpace as a communication device, with helping the students succeed in mind. I have chosen to do so, because almost all my students have a presence on at least one of these sites and they log into them more often than their school email.





In your opinion should I be using these social networking sites as a way to contact students, to remind them of what needs to get done?





Are these two sites really more ‘dating sites’? Am I putting myself in a situation in which students will see me as an instructor looking for a ‘hookup’ ? If so what could I do to avoid this, If am to continue using the websites.

Instructors communicating with students via Facebook or Myspace. Good? Bad? Who cares!?
Facebook was a site created as a social utility to connect businesses and people that belonged to certain associations. Such as a college. As long as youre using the site strictly for educational purposes I think its fine. Many students might not agree with me beacuse they have alot of personal information on these sites but you can edit them to where certain people can only see certain things. I would send out like a memo to al of your students asking if they would be okay with you doing this. Unfortunatley Facebook has turned into a dating site just liek Myspace. I would ask the students if it would be acceptable and then if they agree to using this method of communication, make it clear to them that you would be able to see personal information and if they don't want you seeing it then set their profiles to limited. ( do the same if you use the site for purposes other then education ) good luck, i think its a great idea, as a student I know im constantly on my Facebook but I'm also checking my school emails as frequently.
Reply:hmm.. i think it would be better if you use yahoogroups instead of social networking sites like myspace.. that way, it's more professional.. i have a professor that does that.. he has a yahoogroup account for the subjects he teaches where he can post files, homeworks, and lessons, where students can access it.. its purely business.. no chance of getting viewed as an instructor looking for a "hookup"..
Reply:It isn't really that professional but if it works then great im sure the students dont mind since they probly use these sites alot and it is easy for them to access this info.





I would recommend whoever does this have a small website for those who dont like to visit these sites though.


Facebook question?????

I want to get a facebook but I'm not sure of one thing. On the part where it says if you're in high school or college or not in either, can you change that after you made your facebook? Like a year later?? Please help! Let me know how you did if you did.

Who Likes the new Facebook?

I got facebook cuz it wasnt as drama filled and was for college students and not teeny boppers that take too many pics! What has happend?!

Who Likes the new Facebook?
Yes, but you forget that now they have added all those crazy applications, they have those "notifications" on the side that are completely unecessary because your newsfeed tells you the same thing, and the newsfeed is also a lot. And there's this and that and the other. It wants to be myspace so bad but it's beginning to just become insane!
Reply:They've opened it up to more users. The privacy settings are still there. Why don't you simply not add people who are breaking the spirit of Facebook?
Reply:I don't like the new facebook. I think it is turning into myspace with the top friends, the songs, the videos, groups, etc. I think that they should have left facebook alone instead of trying to make it like myspace.
Reply:myspace is better





!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!1
Reply:I know, there are way too many applications. I was on this one kids page and It felt like it took forever to scroll to the bottom to post a message. I think he had like 20 apps above his wall! I think they need to quite trying to be like Myspace.
Reply:those too many applications pretty much ruined it.
Reply:i really dont like it. i agree with the other answers

How can you join facebook without an email?

is there anyway to join facebook.com without having an email associated with a school, college, or alumni?

How can you join facebook without an email?
Someone that you know can invite you by entering your email, not necessarily associated with a school, and you will receive an email. I don't believe there's any other way.


When making a facebook how do I make a non-school account?

Ok I'm 16 but I don't go to school or college, in the UK that's legal! So when making a facebook I tried to make an "other" account but it wouldn't allow me because of my age. Now everytime I go back to the page (even if I exit and stuff) it only comes up with school or college options. I want an "other" account, so I'll have to lie about my age, but how do I get the option back?

When making a facebook how do I make a non-school account?
When you sign up for facebook , sign up for the options that says none of the above (where it says I am). This should allow you to register for a facebook being whatever age you are. Hope that helps.
Reply:Hmmm try in a different time


they've took your ID so you don't lie abt your age!

What's your opinion of facebook pictures in general?

I'm in college.





I find that when I look at someone's facebook, the first thing I go to is their pictures so I can see what kind of person they are. Are they a party-person? What kind of people do they hang out with? I can even figure out what they do on an average weekend or what they've been doing/ where they've gone in recent weekends.





I can't help judging people because of their pictures, and I'm guessing thats what everyone does as well. So I changed my privacy settings so that no one on facebook except myself can see my pictures.





What are your thoughts about facebook pictures? I think people have too many and they're sharing too much about their lives to a lot of people they're only acquaintenced with.

What's your opinion of facebook pictures in general?
well, I figure that it's people's decisions what they put on the internet. There's options so that everyone can see it, just friends can see it, or just them can see it.





Everyone judges people to some extent based on pictures, so you're not alone there.





So basically, I don't honestly care what people put up, because if I can see it, then they want me to see it to an extent if it's accessible to me.





But I DO hate the profile pics where couples are kissing each other......please.....that's so sappy and lame, and nobody else wants to see you kissing someone else every time they go to your page. period.
Reply:But wasn't that part of the point of facebook? Just don't add pics you want no one else to see. That's what I do.
Reply:Pictures is just that though: a way to share what's going on in your life, which is just an extension of what facebook pretty much is. just don't post pictures you don't want people to see and if your freinds are posting pictures of you doing stuff you don't want people to see then consider not doing the things you don't want people to see you doing. :)
Reply:Facebook was originally created as supposed to be a "online yearbook" based from the creators little sister. I know b/c I did a research paper on online communities.





One thing about online communities is that pictures is the only way to share any visual aids to anyone they want. Its either a pic or a vid, and pics are way easier to load.





Some people like myself post up most if not all our photos simply b/c its the easiest way to share photos to people instead of keeping it all to yourself and being selfish.





I have 300 albums with 50-60photos in each.


Its hard to make copies for people so this to me is the easiest way for people to share, copy, comment etc.


Facebook forced me to join a school network. Otherwise my account will be deactivated. How come ?

Hey Guys ! Recently,have you ever come across the following when you log into your facebook account ?





Quote " Facebook requires all members under 18 to join a high school or college network.Because your profile shows that you are under 18, you must specify your school network to avoid having your account disabled. Please select a network type below.'





In fact, I have mentioned in my facebook profile that I was born in 1985 . In other words, I'm 22 this year. Also I've joined the Monash Network since March. However, I still received that notice. Facebook will deactivate my account if I don't join 1 more school network ? I'm so worried





Please help me. Thanks everybody

Facebook forced me to join a school network. Otherwise my account will be deactivated. How come ?
I had that message also this morning. And I am 40! They could see from my profile that I am certainly not under 18, even if I look good for my age (not that good though!). This afternoon the message was gone but I cannot remember if it gave me a deadline. I tried joining my old university network, but of course you have to have a current college email. I messaged them, and all I can do now is wait for a response.


.


UPDATE! I received a response and they said it was sent in error but is resolved now, and to enjoy the site. Seeing as quite a few people had this message around the same time, it seems to have been a glitch.
Reply:I just got that last night also and it was in red I am in the montreal network since last Oct and last might i get that saying so I join my old high school and find out that only current members can join so now it say if i do not get in the network by Nov 11 I will have my account disabled! What can I do im 37 so why did i get the same message about bein under 18? Any one know whats going on?


Do you think it's sad that Myspace is trying to become like Facebook?

Myspace use to be the big dogs and everyone had one.





Well now everyone has a Facebook (since you don't have to be in college to get one now), and i noticed that Myspace is trying to out do Facebook.





Myspace should just stay Myspace, and let Facebook be Facebook. I think Myspace feels threatened by Facebook, since Facebook is taking all their users.








Oh and for added info answer this:





1) Do you have a myspace, facebook, or both?


2) Which do you like better?


3) Why?





My answers:


1) both


2) facebook


3) it's newer to me. i've had my myspace for three years now, and it's not exciting to me anymore. facebook is much more fun to me.

Do you think it's sad that Myspace is trying to become like Facebook?
yeah i go on myspace once every 2 weeks maybe and they always seem to add something new that facebook thought of first





1) both


2) facebook


3) more organized, less spam
Reply:I totally agree that MySpace is becoming Facebook. It's pathetic because they were first and now they're just trying to copy someone after them. They definitely feel threatened but copying one format in order to keep their users is just dumb. I bet Tom doesn't like it either! lol





1) Both


2) Facebook


3) It's more organized. I like how you can easily find friends using their real names and by school. I also like their apps since Facebook was the original with apps, as well as Tagging photos. I still like MySpace for the music, but I prefer the organization of Facebook.
Reply:Dude, they are one and the same thing. It's just a way for teenagers to "be cool" and for petaphiles to be even more creepy. I don't understand why people can't find a more interesting hobby than posting every possible picture they have ever taken OF THEMSELVES on the internet.
Reply:i have a myspace %26amp; a facebook and i like facebook better. i don't like that myspace tries to copy what facebook does either because i want facebook to be the leader and have their own things. i don't want myspace to copy it and try to be better.
Reply:well these are my answers.


1) ugh i dont like facebook..i have myspace


2) MYSPACE !!!!


3) because on facebook its easier to track a person down %26amp; a police man just came to my school today saying facebook %26amp; youtube are a bad site for you lmfaoo idk i just hate it !
Reply:1) used 2 have both


2) myspace

I have both but I prefer facebook primarily because it looks so much cleaner

Facebook is going to put them out of business soon.





They are trying to prevent this at all costs.

2) MYSPACE


3) It has waaaaaaay more options and I think facebook is stupid.





Umm just so you know myspace and facebook are competition, of course they're going to try to outdo each other. They're not just going to leave it the way it always is. they have to attract people so they make business and make money. Sorry girl. But myspace came along before facebook they're the ones who started it all. And it's probably just around where you live and your friends that mainly have facebooks because myspace is way more popular than facebook. end of story.
