Facebook 101 Part 1

Welcome to the fabulous world of social networking! Now that you've singed up for Facebook and got you profile set up, it's time to add your friends and hopefully meet some new ones. I know, all the excitement, it's hard to contain. Everything is so fresh and new. But you need to be careful, too. Because everybody has a Facebook personality. So here's my guide to you, on which Facebookers to avoid.

The Stranger

Of course, I have to start off with the obvious red flag. You log on and find a friend request from Barney Ray Charleston and you only have 2 mutual friends. You've never met in real life. Yet, you only need 1 more friend to get from 199 to 200 friends on Facebook.




So you add Barney. 3 seconds later, you get a message:

Barney Ray: Heey sexy;) where do you live?
...Barney is typing.....
Barney Ray: wanna skype?

And soon you get 1 notification...that turns into 6.....that turns into 60.
 Barney Ray commented on your photo: "I wanna feel your insides."
Barney Ray commented on your photo: "You make me happy."
Barney Ray posted on your wall: "I love you"

Yeah, I'm sorry, I know how much you need the numbers, but you need to block and delete ASAP. It's funny to tell your friends about, but you need to delete this person before they eventually find you. I mean, I'm not saying they could, but I'm just point out the possibility. I know for a fact that I don't wanna be a dismembered body in the dumpster in the back of some weirdo's apartment. But seriously, if something like this is happening, please delete them. And block them. And if you really feel unsafe, report them. Mark Zuckerberg'll handle it lyke a B0$$.
