Four Unnecessary Uses of Facebook Status

Let's discuss facebook status. There is nothing wrong with using the facebook status. But I think there are some unnecessary uses of the status which are either a blatant sign of immaturity or a cry for attention....most likely the latter.

1. Creating awareness of your every move: Remeber pre-cellphones when you lived with your parents, did not have a car, and your friends found it necessary to change their answering machine message to let everyone know where they were? Well we are now using cell phones, live on our own, and have cars so it is not necessary to let everyone know that you are going to the gym, running to the grocery store or going to bed. No one cares so stop begging for attention.
2. Emotional breakdowns: The only breakup emotions we want to hear about are Jennifer Aniston and John Mayer or someone in their social circle. The only friendship fight we paid attention to was Paris and Nicole. Unless you are a close friend of mine I really don't care that you think "it is going to be one of the good days." Don't worry...we will not miss your relationship status change.
3. Implying without saying: Please please please stop teasing me. Telling me are "thinking" "making big decisions" or "regreting it" unless you are going to be specific. Stalking your facebook page messages to figure out what the heck you are talking about is wasting my time.
4. The most recent being political opinion: I understand we all really want so and so candidate to win but the negativity really needs to stop. It is no way to make friends or a positive opinion of our country and no matter who is elected it is going to take the support of our country to really doing anything positive. Stop crying and say something positive that can help the country move forward not stand still and pout.
   

That being said I think the Facebook status is a great tool. It is fun and playful and even a great place to update people on your life...as long as you are not just beggin for attention.
