B1. Facebook

At the age of 16, I am currently a Facebook user. There are the upsides of the social media site and downsides as well. I honestly don’t like Facebook as much as I did when I first created my account. I feel like now all Facebook is full of is drama that’s not needed, and people tend to blow situations way out of proportion. Another negative of a widely used social website is bullying. Cyber bullying is a way for bullies to hide behind the computer screen and harass the victims, and because of the victims getting bullied the outcome to that could be dangerous. Also, Facebook is more of an adult website more than a teenage one and I also think that kids at the age of 12 or younger shouldn’t be a user. As being a younger kid they don’t know right from wrong on Facebook. Kids don’t think things through before posting on Facebook or talking to strangers. Like I said people can hide behind the computer screen and pretend to be who they are not. Away from the downsides to Facebook, there are positives to it as well. Facebook is a good way to stay in contact with friends and family that are distant from you. Also it’s an easy way to contact a group of people of people all at one time. With having groups on Facebook you can add invite the people you want, not everybody is able to join because you have to be asked. Another feature that’s affective to Facebook is being able to create events. Joining and/or creating events are a fast and easy way to spread the word about your event. Lastly, you have the choice of making your account private or not private. I made my account private so when people try to find me they can’t see my information about myself.
