"The Way We Live Now: Growing Up on Facebook" by Peggy Orenstein
In this article Peggy talks about the fact that she could connect with some of her old friends on facebook. It just shows how facebook could bring back some of your old friends and you could become friends with new people that you meet. I personally dont like meeting new people on any social networking websites unless i meet them in person first. Students should be able to do the same because they dont know wether the person is real or someone else could be using their identity.
"Staring Down Facebook" by Zoe Sandvig
Zoe Sandvig talks about the way facebook makes students interact with others. She discovered that facebook helps students manage their time and work well on things they havent been doing good on. Social networking websites often have a bad idea but in this case it is helping students with better ways of studying and what not. Without these websites students wouldnt be working as often as they do.

The narrator in his article talks about his feelings towards facebook. Meeting new people is something fun and intersting but usually people are shy and never end up showing up. Hal feels self pity due to his so called friends not arriving to his little get together.
Virginia Heffernan: The New York Times; Being There
In this article students think myspace is just a site for emo kids. They look at facebook as a better website to gather friends and meet new people. Updates through facebook are sometimes pointless and shouldnt be posted. The author talks about a good update that needs to be done on facebook.

"Social Networking Benefits Validated" by Karen Goldberg
In this article they talk about how parents are getting involved with social networking websites such as myspace and facebook. Believe it or not there are some crazy adults that go on to find teenagers and try to talk to them. Parents now should be aware of the poeple there kids talk to and make sure they dont give out personal information on any websites like these. Teens should understand that parents should be aware of their updates and friends they have on any website to make sure they dont get involved in any mess.
