Don't know what the attraction is I never go on them , I can't understand why some let others bully them on there , why do they keep going back and reading all the abuse they write.

I'm on Facebook 'cos I have friends travelling the world and it's a good way for all our friends to keep in touch with them and their adventures. If you are reasonably fussy about who you pal up with, you don't get any abusive stuff. If it gets that way, I'll just stop going there - no probs. And I don't publish my whole life there as some people seem to.

My feelings as well DI.
Facebooks ok.Just be careful what you put on.
And i don't cruise them all!!!

Same reason here - I have family everywhere. It's a great way of sharing photos and news with my very extended family, much better than e mail or snail mail. My neice in Oz sent me a video of her three year old riding her first pony the other day, I probably would never have seen that. Another neice is in show biz and I get to see all the photos from the shows - and just keeping in touch with my sisters who live no too far away but I don't see as often as I should. I only add really close friends and family and never get abusive stuff, if you get abuse from people who are supposed to like you, then you're probably better off without them, and I only allow my profile to be viewed by people I know. My son in law is in Cyprus at the moment, helping his dad harvest the olives. He logs on every day to share photos with the kids (he does phone them too).

I use facebook, I think its great being able to keep in touch that way.
We have friends who live abroad, New Zealand, Australia and family down South, great way to stay in touch.

Problems with children or Adults being bullied are no more widespread than any other place.
You make the choice who you want to be friends with and allow what can be seen by others.
