deactivated facebook

I need to vent I closed my facebook this morning. I have been on there for at least a few years now and have had it. Recently my wife was hospitalized due to a bleeding ulcer. We both posted on facebook starting with me saying I hope she is ok and gets out soon. What followed that is the problem many of her classmates at her school she is in a full time nursing program responded right away with. Oh the teacher was talking about you and asking where you were and said if your going to miss a week you need to withdrawl from school asap. I was furious over this and although it is not facebooks fault of course I felt I needed to take some kind of action I dont really think anyone will care that I am not using it that is not the point I am trying to make. I just dont like it anymore anyway a couple people from my past our constantly trying to friend me and I say no so this way there is no way of them getting back in my life.I am curious to know if anyone else has any input to this I know a few people that have gone through some things. Sorry about the grammer I know its sloppy.

facebook sucks, it'll be phased out within a couple years with a "better" web-site. you know it's not what makes the world go round. i have facebook, but rarely post on it for the very reason you ran into. people talk, and some people live by that crap site so they can gossip to people that have no business talking about it. either way, we all need to remember that the internet is public knowledge to any and everyone. if you don't want your mother seeing it then don't put it out there. i'm sorry about your wife, i hope she makes a quick and sound recovery. don't worry about not having facebook, there's better ways of keeping in touch with the people you actually care about in your life. write letters, make phone calls, and contact them in ways that prove they matter. it's better that way anyways.

 

Stay off of the site dude. It's far more drama than its worth.

Facebook = poison

 

i feel ya bro. facebook sucks. everyone thinks the world revolves around it. I know people that cant go more than an hour or so without checking it..

 

Try going through a divorce with 60 "friends in common" with your ex... FB is the devil.

Sorry about your wife.

 

I went through that as well and it was no fun.

Another angle that I experienced was when Dad died 4 months ago. My Dad had a FB account that my Mom had created for him a couple years back. When he became I'll and was close to the end, a few people made same odd comments about his situation. I don't think they meant anything bad, but the comments came across as rather insensitive. It sure created more grief for my Mom than she needed at the time.

I think FB is about 10% useful and 90% a pain in the ass.

 

i only use FB for the games and to check out girls. that is all

 

FB is a waste of time, only use it for planning hikes/ski trips with friends.

 

hahaha My wife says TW is just like facebook,lol

 

x56468464684 I jsut deactivate mine a few weeks ago. I could care less what some of the people on there think or what they are doing. Those who know me, know how to communicate with me. those who dont, well...there is always email.

 

I generally delete the people that post drama or block the ones I don't want to talk to or hang out with from my fb. I use it to keep in touch with the people I went to school with.

I hope your wife is ok and that she has a speedy recovery.

 

Whats facebook?

 

thank you everyone

I find it amusing in that some on there have no lives what so ever. You know, when they post some crap that you dont know what in the hell they are talking about, but they act as if everyone knows whats going on. I have one friend from school that is apparently divorced and has a teen boy and is unemployed. She is CONSTANTLY on there all the time and watches all the reality shows and comments on them as I know what it means. I hardly ever read her posts anymore. Aside from that I like it since I see whats going on with and get to see pics from family across the country that I normally dont get to see. Also kinda funny to see the stupid things some of the misfit family members post.

 

Facebook is gay!!! I hate how the same people on there post for attention and to try and get reactions. Makes me want to punch someone in there face!!!!

 

Isn't that what goes on here on TW also?

 

I have one, but only use it for getting in touch with old friends and coworkers who I use to work with. I don't post my daily life on it like most people do,ex. going to such and such place,etc. etc. People don't need to know about my daily life, that is my business.

 

its terrible if you have a SO. It's great for family and keeping up to date on what everyone is doing.

 

Oh yeah... but its diffrent. People on here aren't as gay as Facebook people.
