why do people have soo many friends in facebook?

[Sarah]

I had 1400...it was mainly just kids in my surrounding area. I transferred schools too so at my first school everyone added everyone and at my second school everyone added everyone. Plus when people friended me, I'd accept anyone I have "mutual friends" with. People who have that many friends they definitely don't talk to all of them or might not even know all of them at all. Yes, a lot of people add strangers, loners or not. Also they might just want to seem "cool" by having a lot of friends by adding strangers. I don't know if facebook says that, but adding strangers is definitely not a good idea!
