    To think the people who bullied me and made my life a misery 10+ years ago added me as a friend like nothing happened! I refused them all.

    See ive actually accepted the poeple i hated at school because i want them to see how far ive come in relation to them. They would make fun of x,y and z, but now im 23 and ive got a degree when they havent ect i feel very proud and wanna show it off to them. Quite bad really but it makes me feel good!!

    Ditto on that, I was bullied all through school and now they want to add me on FB I accept, cos I want them to see how amazaing my life is now compared to theirs (and ive yet to find one of the bullies seeming to have a better life than me)

    My 13 year old DS has been on FB for a while now and we've been "friends" right from the start so I can keep an eye on him.

    The only problem with that is that he can also keep an eye on ME as well!!:eek::rotfl:

    I've had to remove "what's your favourite sexual position" app that someone had posted on my profile... oh and someone (from MSE;)) had a virus and a very naught pic was passed around all her friends:eek: Luckily I was online as soon as it was posted so deleted it straightaway!

    OP I personally think you should create a Facebook profile for yourself, and add your son as a friend - that way he definitely can't share too much information there without you seeing it. You don't have to do much with your own profile, though you may find friends from the past (or present) and end up using it too!
