to delete facebook or not? Bad idea?

OK. so I'm helplessly addicted to facebook. I'm on it all day. And when I'm not on it, I'm checking it on my phone. I seriously am just sick of it. I'm friends with almost 300 people. WTF. I do NOT have that many friends. I have only a few ACTUAL friends. not in the hundreds. I'm tired of seeing all these photos of people I honestly don't even care about knowing about. I'm tired of feeling intimidated by other people's pictures of their huge social lifes. I'm tired of all these different IMAGES been shoved in my face, and constantly being told what's cool and what's not by a fucking social networking site. I'm tired of DEPENDING on this site. It's keeping me from doing so much stuff with my like. Maybe I don't know what those things are, but facebook is sure as hell keeping me from it. I just want it OUT of my life. Why must I have it? To keep in contact with people I'll probably never even hang out with? I want to just fucking delete it, and basically be free from it. any takes on this bold move?

 

Fuck Facebook

 

Deleting your Facebook is a bold move?
lol

 

So delete it. It honestly is a pile of shit. And don't go with that shitty 'I'll be back' option either. Never works. Or you could just delete all the twats you don't know and the ones who piss you off.

 

That's what I was thinking. Does that make those of us who never had it heros?

 

DO IT! (these are here in lowercase so I can write caps)

 

it kind of does make you guys heros. I'm just done with it. and I HATE this whole idea that you HAVE to have one. I spent all of highschool clinging to facebook and it did nothing but WASTE my time and bring down my grades, and make me get caught up in obsessing over other people and how popular THEY were on facebook. in reality, only a handful of outings and "hangouts" actually pulled through over facebook over the fucking FOUR YEARS i used it. i mean honestly what is it?? I spend hours on facebook what am I doing? stalking people and striking up stupid "sup nm u nm" conversations with people I've become bored talking with anyway. FUCK IT!!! Of course the big downside is I'm just going to lose contact with a lot of people, but so be it. It's the price to pay for finally being free. Although I know it's going to be weird at first, I am fucking EXCITED for life without facebook.

North Berwick teens charged after selling drugs to undercover officer

NORTH BERWICK, Maine — Two local 18 year olds were recently charged with felony-level aggravated trafficking of Schedule Z drugs after they attempted to sell marijuana to an undercover police officer.

Andre Ouellette, of 50 Elm St., and Cole Corbin, of Turkey Street, were also charged on Nov. 2 at about 10 p.m. with violation of conditional release.

Police said the arrests came after a two-week investigation that began after the Noble High School Resource Officer obtained information about Ouellette selling marijuana to high school students.

During the investigation, North Berwick Police Chief Stephen Peasley said an officer requested Ouellette and Corbin as a friend on Facebook as part of a sting operation. He said both men accepted the undercover officer as a friend and within a short time made an offer to sell drugs to the officer.

Peasley said the officer accepted the offer and the parties agreed upon a time and location on Nov. 2 for the drug deal, and Ouellette and Corbin later arrived with the marijuana at the location. Police arrested the men at the scene, and a search of Ouellette's residence produced contraband such as a digital scale, hypodermic needle, bongs and other pieces of drug paraphernalia.

Peasley said both men were charged with aggravated trafficking of Schedule Z drugs because the deal occurred within 1,000 feet of an elementary school. The charge was elevated to a felony because of that proximity, he said.

Ouellette and Corbin were also charged with violation of conditional release because of prior arrests from other police agencies, according to Peasley.

Ouellette and Corbin were transported to the York County House of Corrections in Alfred, and both men were released from York District Court on $5,000 unsecured cash bail.

The men are scheduled for arraignment in Springvale District Court on Dec. 28.

 

It's good to let it go. Have you ever tried to play catch-up with a friend you haven't seen in months? It's impossible because you heard it all on facebook.

 

Sounds like you have Facebook for the wrong reasons. I use it for fun, I don't post or respond to political or religious postings. I play Scrabble with lots of people. It's no different than any other forum. You get out of it what you put into it.

 

You're not really 28, are you ?

 

Delete it. Prove to yourself that you don't need this.

 

Sounds like a ball. :smoking:

 

ugh... i need to change that yes i know. IM AN EIGHTEEN YEAR OLD MALE IN COLLEGE

 

If you are afraid of withdrawal symptoms, then wean off slowly.

Set a target date and hope for the best. If you slip, just go straight back to not doing it again.

We are all here for support for you! Many have gone through this and found it was great when they had finally completed their 12 step program.

 

^lol

just delete that shit. i deactivated my facebook last week and to be honest havent really missed having one at all. after you deactivate you find you REALLY cant go through your day without facebook, just go back to the site and as soon as you log back in, your facebook account will be reactivated, with all of your shit still intact.

just give it a try. you may find it leaves you with a lot of time to do other things. like masturbate or do class work.

 

Finding people to play Scrabble is tough around here.

 

Deactivating it is one thing...deleting it is a whole other story. But it's not impossible, just a pain in the ass.

 

Fuck Facebook.

 

Then why does the site say you're 28? Lier. I hate liers.
