Ever lost a friend over a Facebook Fight?

[24 Dreams]

I'm your typical high schooler, most people I know (whether I'm close to them or not) are my Facebook friends, and if I have something to say, I'll post it as my status. Sometimes people do get in arguments over posts, but the people I'm close to have enough common sense to say something along the lines of "Let's drop this for now, we can talk about it in person tomorrow." For this reason, I've never lost a friend to a Facebook fight.

I think people get crazy over comments and statuses. They're at home, alone, sitting behind a computer where they can express whatever they think, but I think sometimes people forget that eventually, they have to come out from behind the monitor and own up to what they said online. People get sensitive online because you can't sense tone from reading a typed message. Some statements need to be said in person just because of the numerous ways they could be interpreted. I've seen many friendships go down the tubes because someone said something like "whatever" or just the dreaded "okay."
