Facebook can be a great way to keep in touch with old friends, distant relatives and much more but how safe is it really? Although many people use it with nothing but good intentions in mind not everyone with a Facebook is like that. For me the benefits of Facebook is to keep up with friends you don’t always get to see whether they live in another city or go to another school it is an easy convenient way to talk to them. Also as seniors the majority of us will be moving away in less then a year, not only will we be able to keep in touch with close friends but family to. The risks of Facebook are plentiful and honestly kind of scary. In class we talked about how 7.5 million kids the age of 12 and under have a Facebook. This is fine if their parents closely watch what they post but I’m sure many of their parents are oblivious to the fact that they even have a Facebook. They can post anything their hearts desire and this can get them in a lot of trouble. I never really thought about how many young kids had a Facebook before and now they we have read about it and discussed it in class I realize how dangerous it can be. Especially to kids who think that just because their profile is set to private that no one that isn’t their friend can read what they’re posting.
