Facebook

Facebook can have a large impact on how girls feel about themselves. Facebook is one of the easiest places you can be bullied. It is very simple to post a comment on someones photos making them feel bad or making rude sneers on other peoples pages. Facebook is supposed to be a way people can connect with eachother and view updated pictures, statuses, or say a friendly hello on each other's walls. However, Facebook has recently taken a turn for the worst. There is no filter of what can be posted and you have no control over what people say. You are only in control of deleting something if it is posted on your Facebook or you're the one that posted it. Other than that you are not in control whatsoever of what people say. If girls or even guys are going around looking at other guys or girls Facebooks it is more likely that they may feel envious of something on that person's page. Facebook is rapidly growing as a place where nothing is censored and people's feeling are meaningless. There is even a group on Facebook called "The Prettiest Girls" and the description is that you may join in you are pretty and to invite only the prettiest girls you know to join. It's a rude and demeaning concept because everyone is pretty in their own way.

  1. Facebook is being a site that is too absorbed in social trends. I personally am way over Facebook all together. I've moved onto twitter because I don't have to worry about pictures and social lives and what's going on in other people's lives.
