Facebook safety

Back when I was in primary school, we had Myspace and Friendster. Myspace focused more on music, while Friendster focused on "testimonials" Next came Multiply that focused on picture sharing. Twitter only gives out status updates on what you're doing from day to day.
Out of all of the social network sites, I think Facebook is very convenient! You are able to get in contact with old mates, you're able to share photos and not have to go through each picture one at a time to see in which pictures you are. You let people know what you are doing.
Of course you have all these advantages, but then when you think about it, Facebook is a very unsafe social network site. It allows people from your past to stalk you.
People would know exactly where you are, where you live, what your email addresses are, what your relationship status is, pictures that you've been tagged in as well.
But... meh. I shouldn't really complain. Through Facebook, I get to see hot men from all angles. Hahaha!
What I do hate about Facebook is that, it's so popular that even our own parents have an account. You can't post things freely without being questioned and you just HAVE to add them even if you don't want to because then they'd think you are hiding something.
Regardless, I don't add my dad, he'd probably make me delete my whole account.
But other than that, Facebook really is a very dangerous social networking site and we shouldn't just post things carelessly on there. Because even though you only add the people you know, You must not forget, that these people have friends who go to their houses or lend each other their accounts and probably would check out your Facebook and see things that only your friends are meant to see
Facebook is the national website of all stalkers.
Just be careful with what you post and you'll be just fine. :-)
