<p>A local photographer has friended pretty much every kid in the high school I figure he’s just trying to get their senior portrait business, but I still think it’s icky.</p>
<p>I do admit that I have peeked at who Son’s friends are. I think there are kids from school that he’s never spoken to in real life.</p>
<br>
<br>
<p>I hope the kids don’t confirm anyone like that as their friend.</p>

More and more adults are finding Facebook a great place to reconnect with someone from their past. In fact, just this morning, someone told me that the kids finally convinced him to get a Facebook page and he had reconnected with a dozen people he knew from 20 years ago."</p>
<p>This is very true. I have more than 300 FB friends, the majority of whom are adults, some as old as in their 70s.</p>
<p>S, 20, and I also share many FB friends including adults. S decided to friend me after it dawned on him that he already had FB friends in common with me including some who are my age. Some of his friends who are his age also were my FB friends because we’re involved in activities together including community theater, community service, and activities related to leadership, activism, and politics. The same is true of people my age and older who are S’s FB friends, too.</p>
<p>Most of my friends of all ages post things like articles related to politics and activism, and pictures related to their families and activities. Even the college students are posting things related to activities like performances, and articles related to politics and causes they believe in Their partying pictures aren’t drunken party pictures, but are pictures of things like costumes at Halloween parties.</p>
<p>While I know that some of the college students are more avid partiers, they are smart I enough not to post such pictures on a public site.</p>
<p>I am FB friends with some teens as young as h.s. students. These are teens whom I am friends with, including being friends with their parents.</p>
