Facebook Attacked by Parents!

Dear parents other old people,

Facebook is an amazing social tool utilized by students and younger adults to communicate and stay up to date on what their peers are doing throughout the day. Though we added you as friends on Facebook you need to understand there is a social network etiquette that needs to be followed. Please use the following list as a Guide to Better Facebook Etiquette.

FACEBOOK – PARENTAL GUIDELINES:

1.  If a message is urgent, CALL ME! Facebook is not intended as an online 911.

2.  If a message is private, personal or otherwise not intended for the world to see email me or send a private message. Facebook Walls are, sadly, the same as the bathroom wall – put your marker away.

3.  Comments on photos, status updates and others replies are intended for me or between us. Leave parental remarks out of your messages please.

4.  Many of our Facebook friends are just friends we know through someone else or over the years and do not talk to daily. Just because they are my “friend” does not mean you need to add them as your friend.

5.  Avoid using names unless you are completely sure. This is a new age of dating and relationships saying “Hope you and Sarah had a great weekend.” It’s not ok when I was out of town with Megan.

Note: We can delete you, block you, or add you to the “Black List” which will limit your ability to share in our wonderful Facebook experience. Please comply with the above guidelines.

Thank you :-)
