There are many reasons why I would get Facebook if I were a teenager. Going out with your friends is essential for your growing up, when you’re out with your friends the majority of teenagers take a great deal of photos. With these photos you can upload them onto the network instantly. It is easy to use and you can upload as many as you want to. Also with uploading photos you can have your friends comment or like a picture that they want to, you can also do this. This is an excellent way of showing your pictures rather than taking them and either keeping them on your camera for only you to see, or printing them off and showing people, that wastes ink and it is far more time consuming.
Being a teenager you are at your prime growth of your life and you are very open to a broad array of interests. You also you meet a great number of people at your age; during school, after school activities and extracurricular activities. You may wish to speak to them or they need to speak to you, this is where Facebook is very useful. Every Facebook user will have a status bar, were if they wish to type anything they can do. With this you can allow your whole Facebook friend list to comment on what you have typed in, therefore this is a great way of saving hassle by calling multiple people up to say what is on your mind.
Emailing, texting and calling is permanent ways of staying in touch to one another nowadays. However these aren’t always reliable, the network of Facebook is! You can send messages to one another easily and you can talk to someone similar to MSN. This uses a chat box which is on your screen; the useful thing about this is that you can appear to be offline to people when really you are on facebook. For example, you could be checking your inbox or looking at people’s profiles, doing this people may want to talk to you. However if you do not want people to talk to you then all you need to do is to click appear offline.
Everybody who uses Facebook has profile. This profile allows you to state about yourself: hobbies, interests, languages, television programmes that interest you and facts about you. However if you wish to not show them then you can change your privacy settings. Looking at other people’s profiles allows you to get to know your friends more; this is very useful for a teenager due to the amount of people you meet wherever you go. Facebook allow you to be friends with whomever and wherever the person lives or is from. This is very useful for people who make friends on holiday and are not able to stay in contact with them.
Events. Events are hard to organize due to people being busy on the day or don’t inform you whether they can come or not to your celebration. However with Facebook it is very simple. When creating an event you can turn your privacy settings on or off, so that only certain people can see it or you can allow your whole friends list to see it. Using the events on Facebook is a great way of being informed if people can or can’t come to your event. Everybody has to tick a box to say whether they can attend or can’t or who are maybe’s. What is excellent about this is that you can see who else can come or can’t come.
