Here's a list of Facebook Do's and Don'ts from a teenager's perspective.
- Never 'like' your own status updates
- Don't 'like' everything on everybody's page. Be selective.
- Don't comment on every picture on someone's album. Comment on a few only.
- Don't feel compelled to respond to every comment in your album / on your wall.
- Never comment immediately after someone has commented on your wall / picture. Wait at least 10 minutes, so it looks like you have a life!
- Never comment or 'like' anything on your child's page. It is a privilege for you to be her friend on Facebook. Don't blow it!
- If you happen to be a friend with your teenager's friend (not encouraged, but it happens sometimes), never 'like' or comment on the friend's page.
- If you have less than 50 friends on Facebook, then you don't need Facebook to keep up with them. Stick to emails / telephone calls / letters or postcards instead. That's likely going to be easier for you to manage.
- Don't be caught on Facebook all the time!
- Never be on Facebook on your birthday, Friday night or Saturday night. It shows that you don't have a social life!
Yay or Nay - what do you think?
I really don't have a social life, but I'm also too old to care!
