committing a suicide

<p>My parents taught me to hate no one but as a rebellious 5-year old girl, for the first time, I screamed “Luca you moron! I hate you!!” Over the years, it has become a normal, everyday phrase used in my rich vocabulary. I hated the biology teacher for failing me on a test; I hated my parents for not buying me that awesome dress. As a teen I hated the whole world and now, as an older teen I truly hate Facebook.
Every day I come back from school and without even washing my hands, I rush into my room to check Facebook and whether or not someone has commented my new uploaded pics from last Saturday’s clubbing. After reading “u luk so gr8” written by a completely unknown person called Rahmi, the first thing that crossed my mind was “Jesus Lucija, you have over 600 friends and you do NOT know them all.” But then, after contemplating my Facebook friends I admitted to myself: I’m doing the same thing, stalking them through Facebook, and it is fun.
After my first failing grade for homework I said it, proudly and loudly, “Facebook I hate you! I can’t stand you, even though I’m more and more addicted !” It’s not funny at all when some kindergarten friend tags me in a class photo when I was 8 and still didn’t know the meaning of fashion suicide to wear white socks and black sandals together as a combination. Initial happiness turned into agony when realising the photo can’t be removed nor it will be removed because some ******* gets nostalgic. It’s time to break up the long-term relationship with Facebook. I’m tired of all those narcissistic, stuck up people seeking for their 5 minutes of fame! Who cares about your status “Horvat, Ivan Horvat”, “Annie is tired”, “I <3 coffee”. People change their profile pictures more frequently than their underwear. Everything screams “Look at me! Look at me! I’m the best! I’m so cool with 10 new picture comments!”. Also there are notes that are mostly consisted of chain letters like “If you don’t send it to 20 people, your cat will die but if you send it, your soul mate will kiss you at midnight!”. First of all- I’m more of a dog person and I already have a so-called soul mate. People let’s just face it! Except 3-4 friends, no one cares what you really do and what you really love. Because of that 95% “What’s on your mind” boxes stay unanswered. Your real (not imaginary) friends already know what you like and you don’t have to “become a fan” of Chuck Norris to prove it.
There are some too private things that no one wants to expose to the whole world. Is there privacy anymore? Does everyone have to know whether John and Jenny are still together?! Facebook might be good to find some old, lost acquaintance but the real problem occurs when you don’t want to be found.

I did it! I’m so proud of myself! I have finally deleted my FB account! It feels so damn good. No more lost hours sitting and stalking people, no more failing grades for homework, no more excitement if someone comments on my wall. And no more break downs over being defriended. Feeling so free! Just like a heroin junkie who just got out of rehab! The reason I’ve done it is because of another failing grade I got for my math homework. This was my last chance to do something heroic and truly rebellious since I’ve just committed social suicide… but at least someday I will look back and honestly say “You know my son…once I was a true rebel!”</p>

<p>comment it.</p>

<p>This all sounds very immature, and it does not tell the reader, “Hey, this applicant is great!” It sounds like a rant that is inappropriate for a personal essay.</p>

<p>It is very inappropriate to joke about suicide.</p>

<p>thank you.
it was an opinion column that i wrote but just wanted to chekc what do u thinl.
@momjr
lol i know but read the last sentance. usually when i put title such as ‘‘help me choose the essay topic’’ there is almost no replays.</p>

<p>the whole thing seems very immature. you should have several English teachers go over it with you. i like the idea of it though, you’re on to something.
best of luck.</p>

<p>maybe you want to try something more appropriate for a college essay.
deleting your FB, i believe, is very nice and all,
but it’s not impressive, and it doesn’t make you stand out from other people. </p>

<p>and maybe be more careful with your selection of words, don’t use curse words maybe - u never know who’s going to be reading your essays. try to shelter your emotions with language natural but also “standardized” in a way.</p>

<p>None of it is very intellectual…</p>

<p>I know more about facebook itself than you. Start from scratch.</p>

<p>This essay doesn’t really say anything about you and your character, which is the reason you’re writing it.</p>
