So, I've decided facebook.com is the new age teen journal, where all the sad and angst ridden preteens can unload their feelings. Unfortunately for the rest of the users, though, facebook just happens to be public. Everybody gets to see when Annie breaks up with her boyfriend, and all the song lyrics she thinks that describes her terrible life perfectly. Then, she moves on to inspirational quotes, or Angsty Annie decides her life sucks, that she is so much more alienated and alone than the rest of her peers. Then comes the fan pages, that Angsty Annie can "like", with such great sayings like, "You broke my heart", and "I hate that every time that your name lights up on my phone, I fall a little bit harder for you, but every time my name lights up on your phone, I'm just another girl". Now, while I am not belittling the girl's emotions, I would like to point out a site with several million users, and a site which nearly every single one of Angsty Annie's friends use, is not the place to advertise your personal emotional problems and issues. Unfortunately for Angsty Annie, for every true friend that uses the site, she has 100 acquaintances on her friend list that simply don't care.
