i have a facebook account and ye i chaeck it everday but i cudnt spend all day on it, what do u do? u have ur reasons but its hard when ur friends live far away, or just don't wana go out. theres soo much on the internet but i guess were spoilt for choice. Anyway i wouldn't say u were sad or didn't have a life, but just be careful. xox

Social networking is alright when you have nothing else to door its a cheap and easy way to organise thingsbut more than that it's just boringlike its just the same old conversations over and over again'Hi''Hi''U OK?''YEH U?''YEH THANKS'and then thats it....dull

I think social networkings good;but you need a good balance.Fair enough if you're 16-17 & can't get into clubs etc. But that doesn't mean you can't still go out.I reckon 2-3 hours is cool.But i think it's a bit silly if under 12's go on these sites.Anyway that's me over & out.:]

I think its good and, it really isnt that dangerous if you be careful coz like, people on the news and that only say bad things about it, you dont hear people on the news sayin: 'so-and-so had a good tym on Bebo today and didnt get stalked!!
