So Facebook runs our lives. It’s the last thing we check before we go to sleep and the first thing we look at when we wake up. From friendlists to photo albums we run through it all. So u’re at work and u get a midday text message ‘gurllllll check (insert name here) status’… 'look at the comment he made'. Sadly ur response is GURLLLL I ALREADY SAW IT or OMG why do u think he said that? IDK let’s look at his girlfriend’s page… It’s all in fun and playful…
One night as we were leaving the club and getting into our car two boys approached us… hey can we talk to yall? What’s yall names? And we replied “Paris and Nicole”. The frivolous convo continued until we were bored. Long story short after promising them we’d call… their reply went something like ‘okay Paris Hilton and Nicole Ritchie (yes first and last names) we’re friends on Facebook already so we’ll find u!.’ Awkward? So when does it get out of control?
Scenario 1: When ur at the club can you spot people by first and last name (and sometimes middle)? For example: heyy girl… there goes Tyrone ‘Im a Fiend’ Biggums from Facebook.
Or do u have people that will actually come up to u and tell u they KNOW u and they mean strictly from Facebook? i.e. hey don’t I know u? no I don’t think so. Yes I do... ur (insert name here), we’re friends … on FB
Scenario 2: Before u accept a friend request do u have to check who ur mutual friends are and subsequently do a 2nd round check for enemies? And if u’re a lady and another woman friends u… do u skeptically put her on a limited profile before fully checking her credentials?
Scenario 3: Do u get daily FB Chat pop-ups from people u only know thru FB but u have convos like u’ve been friends forever?
Scenario 4: Do u regularly change ur name because u either think or know u have stalkers WATCHING? ((cue Rockwell: I always feeeeel like somebodies watching meeeeeee) i.e. do you know of people that have purposely made fake page after fake page just to go through ur ish or contact u?
Scenario 5: If u’re in a relationship…do u find urself obsessively checking ur significant others page to make sure they’re behaving (at least in public)… is s/he set on high priority?
Scenario 6: Coworkers … and Facebook… bad combo? Should u limit some and not all? Do u really wanna be the topic of convo at the water fountain?
i.e. Girl ur so quiet when ur here… but ur nothing like that in real life. Me and (other coworker) were just talking about how wild u and ur friends are!!!
And on a similar note ur ‘mature’ family members definitely fall in the same category…
Real life example: a cousin said he’d have to delete me because he was going for a new job and they look at ish like that… and he doesn’t want me or my friends doing anything WILD… DUDE how bout u stay OFF my PAGEEEE
Scenario 7: Do u update ur status sometimes to purposely EFF with people? Is ur main goal in life to cause emotional uproar via Facebook status?
WHEN IS ENOUGH ENOUGH FOR U? Let us know what your thoughts are… and BE HONEST

Well this is a very interesting subject and seems to be a recurring problem with a lot of people on Facebook... One piece of advice for all your scenerios listed above...
STOP FRIENDING STRANGERS! If you don't know them like dat where you may not feel comfortable sharing your life with them, then deny they azz.. point blank
I don't get it with these people who wanna friend all these random f*cks to try and build their friend #'s up or because someone looks cute or whatever the reason is... If you don't know them, you don't know them.. That's stupid and doing this is like you're askin for someone to stalk you.. And these people who are bored and check ya page every 5 mins wind up knowing more about you than your actual friends.. you have some personal info on there (some more than others) and are giving someone/everyone access to your life, your personality, and character.. Don't give these people the fuel then be shocked later on when they use it.. There's a lot of Tyrone Biggums in the world and they look @ you as the next fix.. Facebook is ruining ppls lives, relationships, jobs so using more discretion is highly advised in today's world of social flourishment... Get it together ladies... GET IT TOGETHER!!!
