Why should i get a Facebook?

[AL]

Your parents don't know that Facebook is not for making new friends over the Internet. Facebook is for staying in touch with friends that you already have and perhaps reconnecting with old ones. Because of Facebook, I was able to reconnect with a good friend whom I couldn't find for years!

Facebook is also a good educational tool if you know how to use it for learning. Let's say you forgot what the homework is. You can always go to a friend's page and ask what it is.

Facebook allows you to join your school's network, so you can find your classmate's Facebook profiles. I find this very beneficial because I can easily find my classmates/friends.

Facebook is for staying in touch with friends and reconnecting with friends, whereas sites like MySpace are for making online friends. There's a big difference, so make sure your parents know that.

If you want to, you can also show your parents what Facebook is really like by giving them a "tour" of the site.
