To Facebook or Not to Facebook

My first impression of Facebook was "this is just like Myspace". I was not all that impressed and went on my account so rarely that it was deleted. The only reason that I have a Facebook now is because some friends kept telling me to make one. I rarely use my current Facebook, but I do use it at times. I just have to be careful what I say consideing my mom also has one and we are friends on Facebook. Some benefits of using Facebook are being able to keep in touch with family that live in different countries, states, or cities. Some risks are cyberbullying. The article and discussion in class didn't really inform me because I already knew what they were talking about. I already knew that some Facebook users were under 13. I'm not going to lie, but I've been over 18 since I was about 13, so I figured if I was saying I was 18 at the age of 13, then saying you were 13 when you were actually 12 doesn't seem like that big a difference.
