To network or not to network
We ask two teenagers for their opinions of social networking.
Tara
I know I’m not typical but I’m not very keen
on Facebook. I signed up to it last year but I
don’t go on the site very often. Some people
at school say they have hundreds of ‘friends’
but this is silly. How can someone you
have never met be your friend? My friends
are the people I see every day. They really
know me and they really like me. That’s the
important thing.
I also think these sites can be a bit
dangerous. A girl in my class had a lot of
problems with online bullying. People were
posting nasty comments about her and
telling lies. She was very upset and missed
a lot of school.
I love my computer and I use it a lot. I email
my friends or chat to them online. But then
we arrange to meet face to face. You can say
a lot more!
Katie
I go on Facebook every day, sometimes
several times a day. I love it. It’s fun to see
what other people are doing and to look at
their photos. I have about 250 friends, some
of them abroad. I don’t care that I won’t
meet them face to face. We can still enjoy
chatting.
People say you can have problems with
social networking. It’s true that you need
to be careful with your security settings.
Privacy is important too. I don’t give my real
name or my address online. I always use a
nickname. I’m also careful about photos. If
I want friends from school to have a copy, I
send it directly to them. I don’t post a lot of
pictures of people online.
I know the difference between my real
friends and e-friends. And I still enjoy
communicating online with lots of different
people. It’s just good fun.

Life Enjoy
