Over the years I have accumulated way too many facebook friends. Who should I delete?

Over the years I have accumulated way too many friends on facebook. (1000+). Hey, blame it on being a teenager in modern society. None of them are complete strangers though, they are mostly people I have met once when I've been out or just went to school with or friends of close friends. Now that I am growing up I find this makes my newsfeed cluttered, makes it harder to stay in touch with the people that I actually want to, and I also think that I would feel a little more relaxed about the website if I wasn't giving that many people had access to my information (not being paranoid or anything but at least one in every thousand is bound to be a creeper ). I can't be bothered doing that whole new 'aquantinces' list thing, I would rather just remove some people and have an easier to manage amount of people overall on the website. The thing is, who should I remove and who should I keep? I know that I obviously want to keep real life friends & family and people whom I have met who are in the same industry as me (for networking). But what about old friends, people who I might see when I go out who I don't know too well but might find it rude if they one day discover I have randomly deleted them (it matters to some people!). I know that I am 'friends' with some people on facebook, when neither of us would actually say hello if we passed by on the street. Can I please have some tips on who to delete when cleaning out my facebook friends list

I am also a teenager And i found that i have way to many friends on facebook, which means that i get random messages. I would start by having a rummage through your friends list and delete anyone you wont ever talk to, if people get offended well tough youve deleted them hope all goes well :-) x

Facebook can be a fun and effective way to stay in touch with friends and family and get back in touch with long lost friends. You can even network and make new friends. It can also be a great place to get some exposure for your talents and businesses. However, once you have accumulated a lot of friends, it can be overwhelming to receive daily e-mail notifications regarding new comments, new messages, new friend requests, and things of that nature regarding your Facebook account. To remedy this situation, you can stop or reduce the e-mail madness by followings these instructions:
