The Believing Game Part A


The popularity of Facebook has sky rocketed in only a few years and now millions of people have an account on the social networking site. Between updating statuses, tagging others' pages, and obtaining hundreds of friends, whether they are “actually” a friend or not, Facebook has become one of the top ways to communicate. Unfortunately, the communication is not always the greatest. Not everyone you meet or are “friends” with may be who they really are. People, like sex offenders, have claimed many victims by making false accounts and hiding their true identity. Also, cyber bullying has become a big problem on the social networking site. By making a Facebook account, one is putting themselves out there in public. This could cause people to judge you, and, if they do not like what they see, start drama by name-calling and spreading rumors; especially between teenagers. So, why make yourself vulnerable and risk being a victim of bullying or online predators, when you can just call or text your “real” friends instead?
