The popularity of this one of a kind social networking site called Facebook has become a trend all over the world. Everyone has their own account uploaded with so many pictures and posted with what's on their mind and even added unfamiliar friends just to add to their friendlist that when their birthday comes, more greetings will be gained.

           It has also a list of online friends that you can chat with  whatever you are up to. You can befriend your crush, idols and even your ex's by just visiting their accounts and clicking the “add as friend” button but just make sure they wont ignore you.

          It is something that connects us to be more attached to our long distance friends, lovers and families. We also get updated by the lives of our relatives abroad and seems that they are just facebook away.

           More applications are becoming more and more. You can send free MMS, play online games, know your daily horoscopes, pieces of advice from authors and many more.  Millions of people are becoming addicted to the pleasure and entertainment they get that entices them to be online always.

          But Facebook also has a grim effects. According to report, there were cases of rape among facebook users. Policemen told the people not to post their complete address and never ever entertain strangers when asked to go anywhere for a date. Some fake online buying stuff are already hit the FB world. They would try to negotiate with you regarding the products that they are selling for a condition that you have to deposit the payments to their bank accounts first before getting the products. That's how disadvantageous FB world is.

          No matter how entertaining Facebook is, we should always remember that abuse is too dangerous. We should always be vigilant to the possibility that we might be a victim of some other cruelty that is happening on that site. Instead of logging in to facebook and just visiting your friend's account just to comment and like their status, why don't you settle for something educational and time-worthy habit? Visit the library and FACE the BOOK. :)
