Putting Personal Information on the Internet

Honestly, when you log on to facebook or myyearbook, people want to see something interesting, such as, you're shopping with your best friend and bought the cutest purse.  People don't want to hear about the fact that you're pregnant and that you're getting an abortion.  People don't want to hear about who you sent to jail the night before, or how bad your boyfriend beat you up last weekend.  That is the reason that diaries are made.  What your friends want to read about are inside jokes that were made up that day.  They don't want to hear all the inky details about the fight that you and your mom just got into and what a bitch she is.  It's SOCIAL NETWORKING.  It's used to catch up with people and share small pieces of your day.  To ask a friend how they are if they're sick.  To let people know if you're not going to be in class or at work.
Let me make this point.  In the "face to face world" you wouldn't go up to someone and say "hey I'm Samantha, I'm currently pregnant and have to get an abortion.  It sucks."  Seriously?  Keep personal things personal.
Furthermore, if you do in fact decide to post personal bullshit on a social networking site, don't be surprised when people make "what the fuck" comments on it.  When they do, you should probably learn from your mistakes instead of going off on that person who made the comment by calling them a bitch.  In return, they're just going to call you trashy, and there's nothing you can say against that because you know it's true.
Let me put it to you this way.  I come home from a long tiring day in class.  I have homework to do.  Before I do my homework, I like to check facebook and see what all of my friends are up to.  Drop one of my classmates a line if they weren't in class to tell them what they missed.  Maybe say hi to a few family members.  i don't want my newsfeed blowing up with drama like "oh my god my boyfriend just kicked in my car window and the police came and he got arrested and he tried to rape me oh my god oh my god."  that's just called someone trying to get others to feel bad for them, and guess what people, it's fucking pathetic.
