Stalkers by Christine Miller

Facebook has taken over society. Looking around, everyone has one. Brothers, sister, parents, cousins both older and younger, Aunts and Uncles, friends…everyone has one. It’s crazy how this internet tool now is taking up so much of young teens lives. How many times have you heard a teenager express their lack of homework completion due to their Facebook addiction? Or heard a friend talk to you about something you posted a week ago on the site and never talked to them about before? People are spending too much of their time on Facebook, and while many will admit to that, rarely do the cease to access their account as often. It blows my mind when a friend tells me to change my profile picture or status. Apparently they have checked my profile often enough to know that my involvement on the site is scarce. Why are they checking on me so often? Call me if you want to know what I’m up to. Just weird. Many people use Facebook to try to appear to other Facebook obsessed users that they are popular and having so much more fun. I wonder, if they are really as busy as they make themselves out to be with parties and events, because they are on Facebook continuously. status’ changed multiple times a day and pictures added and changed…it’s just interesting how Facebook allows people to come across something other then what they are and that they try endlessly to uphold the facade.
