Post a CommentIf Facebook is gonna shut down on March 15th, then let it be so. But, if it's just a rumor, then why are there such a rumor going around? Let Facebook be Facebook! But for those who's having problems with their teens networking on Facebook, then that's on YOU (the parents of such teens)! Being parents, you know what's gotta be done to keep your children off of such sites as Facebook...do it!
I think face book is godd in many ways but is also bad in the same amount of ways it is good. Teens are so idicted it makes it that so hard for the youth of this generatoin the lose weight.
I think facebook should shut down it is the down fall of our youth! teen years and life is hard enough and facebook helps kis and anyone spread rumours even faster!! sure you may say block but everyone else can still read it and see it and then they talk about it!! FACEBOOK is nothing more than a place to start and spread rumours!! and hurt many many people!!!
I think face book should shut down this site has ended countless marriages, friendships, and relationships. It is hurtful to our youth!! it makes it even that much easier to spread rumors and destory someones life!!
It would be a disaster if this social network closed. Millions of people depend on the site to keep in touch with family and friends far and near.
Great reporting on this, well done!!!!
rumors are just that, but it's good to know they're not closing down, I've got loads of pics and stuff there!
great report
