why is it that people feel the need to start things over facebook? when i was having to use my husbands computer we both have this fliptoast thing that shows the notifications on our desktop so we will see what people post even if we are not on facebook. well like i said when i had to use his computer there was nothing but drama posts going on. he use to tell me that his facebook page was nothing but drama filled and i thought he was exagerating until i actually noticed it for myself. what happened to back in the day when we handled it like mature adults? face to face? a fight if need be? one on one (not jumped)? what is the point you are trying to make by starting fights over facebook? anyways i just wanted to see if everyone has people that do nothing but start drama or involve themselves in drama on facebook. are you one of those people that do this? why? please tell me what the point is. is it fun for you?

I get tired of doing the drama over facebook or friendster before. That's a revolutionary action of the new generation today I think, it's the influence of high technology. I can't get rid of facebook because I get connected to anyone I know from the globe. I just do e-mails there and that's it :)

i also can not just ger rid of facebook because that is how i keep in touch with many people that have moved away or something like that. i just hate when my whole page is full of nothing but drama. i think the new generation relies to much on technology. i remember when i had to make a phone call to tell someone something not just go to facebook post it and tag their name in it. i have never heard of frienster. what is that?

kind of like myspace here but myspace is still out there somewhere just hardly anyone uses it. i figure it is only a matter of time before "the next big thing" comes out to replace facebook and then everyone will no longer use facebook and they will switch to that.

Before facebook, friendster a social networking site is active here in our country, PHilippines. Until it finally went down when the facebook site was born online.

I have a person on my friends list that I went to school with. She is all the time involved in drama, though she'd probably say she isn't. She likes to say things openly, and yell at people who are just trying to talk to her. She's not a very nice person, but at the same time I guess she's not all that bad. Sometimes I can't help but just laugh at the statuses I see she posts, and wonder at how she even keeps friends the way she treats people. It's really stupid to start drama on facebook, why people do it I don't know.

I had one guy who kept posting things trying to make up with his gir friend. Then there was one girl who bounced between being extremely depressed over being dumped to being elated to being 'single' again to being ticked off with her ex. There's a simple solution. Just unfriend them.

Dear crazzydolphin, now is the age of keyboard warriors or chicken warriors. The strongest are normally those who owns a very strong set of fingers for typing. I too get very annoyed with some of the drama that appears on my wall. Girlfriend got neglected by boyfriend, the answer? Facebook ranting. Endless post of quotes such as "what doesn't kills you makes your stronger" or "....my attitude depends on you". It is like these people post on facebook for the sake of gaining sympathy. Thinking that if they keep on posting bulls like that, all of his or her friends would think he or she is correct. For me these kind of people are living pathetic lives. Trying to gain attention. First time is okay for me, but for the 10th or 20th or 30th or 100th time, posting the same thing (but different words) again and again, means something is really wrong about you. Thinking that the world evolves around them only. What i would do is i would post something sarcastically as a reply to the annoying post only if i find that person is annoying. If he or she is my own close personal friend, i would do my best to give the best possible advice. Life is more than just whining and ranting on facebook or twiter. Feeling down? Get out of the relationship. Get out and have fun. Bring your family and friends on an outdoor trip. Go window shopping. It's certainly more healthy that way.

i to can deal with the occasional posts about drama or whatever but like you said when you have these people that post something every few minutes about stuff that gets to be annoying and just over whelming. i do not like my page to be drama filled that is not the point of my using facebook. i agree there are a lot of people who literally post things because they want people to ask them what is wrong. the thing that gets to me the most tho is when a close friend does this and you ask what is wrong and they reply with oh nothing itll be ok i just need some time. so why in the world post it if you are not even going to tell anyone if they ask?? to cause more aggrivation?? facebook was not made for all of this and it use to never be this bad but no people actually depend on facebook way to much. perfect example is i had a friend 1 time that i asked if she wanted to hang out and her responce to me was "hold on ill have to check facebook and get back to you". needless to say i canceled the plans because that was just stupid.

People feel big and tough when they are safe behind a computer screen. And they run their mouth like no other. I can't wait till someone gets their IP address and goes to their home and confronts them. As far as staging fights, most likely for attention, because they have no life whatsoever outside of the internet.

i do not see what makes them so big and tough when they act like this behind the computer but they sure think it does like you said. i have read a whoe big fight get really bad that someone reported them and they had their accounts deactivated. staging fights can even turn violent if something is taken the wrong way. and i agree they must have no life. i think people need to just grow up and yes i mean some of the grown ups to...its not just the teens doing it now a days.

I have a girl as a friend on Facebook and she is always posting things as though there are things happening in their lives. She will get a lot of comments on them, and then she will mention people's names as well which can cause a lot of problems for the people who she's talking about. One of the bad things is that some of the things that she says aren't even true, and this means that the people who she's saying things about can get into trouble for something that they didn't even say in the first place, so you do have to be really careful.
