If you take photos of yourselves only trying to show off the relationship you have, especially when it is only for Facebook..what the HECK?
Also, people have the ability to personalize and create some IMAGE OF THEMSELVES THEY MUST MAINTAIN and such, personally posting photos or certain themes like it is fun to do or a game, you upload pics for fun all the time etc and even RANDOM PEOPLE ON FACEBOOK WHO HAVE RANDOM LOTS OF SUBSCRIBERS, THAT just screams out vain to me..because they feel like it'ss just something worthwhile to do or that they must live up to a standard and post frequently or try to be someone they are not.
Also there are many opportunities and people have the CONSTANT NEED FOR FEEDBACK to promote themselves so people pay attention to them. There are people on facebook who pretend to be cute or have contest battles for the prettiest people and what not or who is the sexiest and who would you date, trying to get more friends or followers so shamelessly :// Self promotion? What FOR?
There are also vain and superficial contests that do not have any purpose other than to try to make yourself famous online and be known for being ''TUMBLR WORTHY'' , ''looking Asian'' or for who has the most likes and all that superficiality. People think that being pretty or internet famous or popular defines themselves..
ADVICE: how popular online will never be the definition of who you are to define yourself as a whole
Also Instagram and filters are alright for fun, but all the time...just..sigh. You are beautiful without all of those filters that hide your natural beauty.
ADVICE : WAIT! EMPLOYERS TEND TO SEARCH YOU UP ON FACEBOOK DID YOU KNOW? NOW YOU DO.
Be careful of what you post and how you act online
Who is going to get easy ACCESS TO STALKING YOU\? Anyone. IT'S THE INTERNET
PLEASE BE AWARE, I AM SAYING THIS FOR YOUR SAFETY. And for those who already know and are informed, alright <3 epic!
Conclusion :I thought facebook was just a place to keep in touch withpals/and fam and try to make newpals and to keep and touch and post about what is going on in your life and most likely the majority of people you know have an account.
Sorry If I am not making sense, but I will stay true to myself and my views. I will remain myself just like I am in real life and do not put up a ''sweetheart'' act and do not judge people, but I also like to try to explain and just say my two cents. I prefer a good book over Facebook anyday and to me it is just some ordinary social network site like tumblr or twitter. These are not necessary at all.It's not an activity, being on the computer is.
If you get an enjoyment online more than your own life, and feel as though you need to be perfect online to get people to see how you truly ARE? I I hope you can go offline and be happy with your life or take a small break from the computer. This was a little and informative rant I wrote awhile ago about such behaviours on facebook and things that just bug me about it. This is why I am not into social networking. I just got my deviant, weheartit- for happy and inspirational daily pics and this.- Also youtube for adding favourite music.
Choose what you do online wisely but also use proper etiquette online and do not try to be someone you are not where people who do not know you cannot know who you truly are. :'/ That all just seems so pointless, so why don't you just post what you want and be you, and not follow all the hype? Use Facebook for what it really is! Not because you are bored <3 I wrote this because I am concerned and I admit when I first started to use facebook, I became a bit addicted. It's not right and I am glad to be over that, because it taught me a lesson to not be over consumed with online life and to just live my life!

fave my NEWEST PEICE!
I'm only on Facebook to keep in touch with my family. I sign on about once a month, maybe update my status with a quote from a book or how my grades are, and I'll like a few posts. I'll sign on to follow some of my favorite artists so they get more exposure. Then that's it. I'm done.
For some people, it seems their entire life revolves around it.
Trust me, it's all part of growing up. You remember all those rumours you heard on the playground that were utter nonsense, but you believed because you didn't know better? That is the exact same kind of thing that is happening today, kids are seeing all these things and thinking that they have to act like this. Coupled with parents breaking up and neglecting their children, the kids are left to fend for themselves, with no-one to tell them what is right and wrong.
It might seem like it is entirely their choice, but it really isn't. It's just what is being pushed to them, and they have no choice but to adopt an adult culture, while they are young. It looks like simple stupidity, but there is no such thing as a bad or stupid child. It all stems from their parenting, and how they were raised.
I just started FB and only use it to keep in touch with contacts who don't have Gmail or Skype. Plus it's a good place to get my artwork seen. ^_^
I'm not interested in creating my image on there, really. It's my business who I date, see, and what I do. I mean, what's the point in posting your entire life on that thing? It's not very wise either. And who the heck cares if your putting on a coat? Seriously? The world needs to know this? Or the people who spend their entire lives updating it? Haha I only spend (at most) 2 hours on it. And I'm mostly just chatting with someone. But I see these people on it who are on 24/7, and wow. All this pointless updating and everything. What's the point? It's a dangerous obsession, and to spend many hours a day of your life on it, that's a pointless addiction. It's just a place to get attention, really. "It's cold outside, I think I'll put on a jacket"...AND?
Jeez. lol
Besides, FB has been a pain in the ass lately to me, so I ain't posting nothing personal. The only thing that goes on there are drawings from dA and here and there. ^^
Hehe I feel extra rant-y today...lol
