Like the previous poster said, talk about a broad brush!

Yes, some people are self-obsessed and think you actually want to know what they had for dinner or what their thoughts of the day are. And in my opinion those people are very lonely in their lives.

A lot of us use it to find old friends and stay connected to them. What's wrong with that?

Nothing is wrong with that.

But the fact remains that for many, especially kids, posting and blogging on social networks becomes a cycle of self-absorption and self-aggrandizement. I think it’s quite possible Facebook over-usage can take the average kid with normal problems and become a form of “self-medication” that is just as bad for them as self-medicating with drugs or alcohol.

But, again, like alcohol, it’s all in the appropriate use.

Or even about their morning...... uh, elimination.
