I deleted mine in high school and felt like my life was much better without one. I took one back up after I couldn't refuse when we were all gathered on my grandmother's deathbed. There are benefits to the only things that I have (Facebook and PsychCentral), but I don't know if I want Facebook anymore. PsychCentral is another way for me to maybe have a support system if I stay and post more.

I want to get rid of my FB because really I only have about 35 friends and most are family. They aren't supportive of anything that I would like to share, and I can see the dangers my sister puts herself in all the time. She shares too much with her 1100 friends and doesn't really have a filter. People are fake all the time on social media and praise it like it's God's gift to man. If my family were more empathetic with me, I might reconsider my views of it. I just feel obligated to have one since it connects me with family. Plus I don't have a single friend really. The ones that aren't family are just old school friends. I only look at it for news really.

I think there are more pros than cons to deleting my FB account really and am looking forward to the day where I actually do it.
