Is a Facebook friend a real friend?

[livelypear827]

When you add someone as your friend on Facebook, or accept a friend request, would you say the people on your friend list are actually your friends? I have people on my list that I honestly do not like, but only added them because they're my age, we have classes together, and I knew the person. I always believed if someone is your Facebook friend, they may not be buddies or anything, but they certainly don't have anything against one another. Is this fair to believe?

No, not really. Most people add the people from their school or class because they heard of them or know who they are, but their not friends.

No way ! LOL .. Theres even a group on facebook that says 'Facebook may say we're friends , but really i hate you !' Lool, normally you add just anyone you know .. friend or not.

I agree with everybody else. Sometimes I get friend requests and I go look them up in the yearbook cause I have NO idea who they are. lol
