Should I delete my facebook account?

Back in middleschool it was sort of nice to chat with friends and plan sleepovers. Now that I'm in highschool its just gotten stupid and people just live on it. People go on it to get some self esteem boosts by the number of people like thier photos. I have seen beautiful people on there say they are so ugly, but they aren't. They just do it to hear about themselves. It's so sad to see that many people on there are that self absorbed with themselves. Then people just get popular from how many likes they get. People always vent drama on facebook about their ex bf/gf or about one of thier friends and yet they don't say it to thier face. I always see the same posts complaining about the same person all the time from so many of the same people. It gets annoying! :/

I just find that facebook depresses me because people never make the effort to get to know you outside of social network or just use you as another "friend" to get a higher reputation for themselves. Then people (especially since I'm in highschool) look down on you if you don't get as many likes as they do, then they judge you based on that. So stupid in my opinion. People I know have also faked who they are on there and be a completely different person in person. Now I find that I don't really talk with anyone on there either. I just like to follow my favorite fanpages and my favorite singers, bands, inspirational people.

sure, if it's really making you depressed. i just don't really look at the posts that other people post up, i scroll past it and look at what i'm interested in. other than that, personally i don't go on facebook often. you could possibly just make a private or fake facebook account to follow your favourite fanpages and stuff, and possibly just delete your old one.

Actually, using FaceBook on a daily basis does make you more depressed, it is scientifically proven, there is an article about it somewhere. I suggest you keep it but check once every few days for a couple minutes, and ignore attention wh0res and people like that.
