Well fb is an easy way to communicate with friends and family members that yu havent even met but it does get a lil addicting so i think yu shud get one everyone has a facebook

positives-
you can interact with people all across the world, friends relatives, buddies ect ect
you can play computer games on it when waiting for replies
everyone has it so you will not be seen as 'boring' if you don't
there are so many apps on it, so many things to do, you can use it as a memory book with adding 'notes' and picure albums, and you can control who can view it
when you have it 99% of the time you wont be bored
thereare 'groups' or 'like pages' which you can go on about a particular subject you like and share interests with people across the world who have the same or differeent opinions

dis-advantages
-if you have an arguement over fb within 10 mins i bet you nearlly all of your friends will know because they will post statuses and be bitching about it
-if you don't set your privacy controls properly, some people can get hold of all your details and photos ect
- people can be weirdos if you dont know them,, pretending to be someone you know and being nasty ect
- sometimes it can become extrenely addictive and you'll begin to find yourself pn fb in all your spare time.
-people you've addedcan be critical of the photos you upload.

you won't know exactly what fb is like until you have it. it's basically a social networking site where you can add loads of people, chat to them sare stuff with them add photos memories ect, but the good thing is if you have it and you decide you don't like it and its not for you, you can delete your account, or if you want to temporarily delete it you can disable it until the next time you re-activvate it, but it's easier trying it for yourslef than someone telling you
