it sucks.

does anyone know how to use the privacy settings to exclude certain people from seeing uploaded/tagged videos? I can't seem to figure it out.

i have no idea how to do that, but i wanna know too!

i was totally bitching to my brother about a shitty night that i had because of my parents.
and guess who read it online?
my mom.
needless to say, she cried for days and i felt like scum.

You can make it so they can't see you're wall/feed at all?

Also try: not uploading embarrassing videos
not friending your parents

My mom has one but she doesn't use it much and doesn't care what I do to a certain extent, and I don't really need to hide anything from her. My dad ha one too and he asked me if I had one because he was against social networking sites, etc. when I was younger. I said I did and he told me to add him but I still haven't. Not sure if I want to.

My mother does not know anything about the internet, she has to ask me how to get to google. my dad however thinks that facebook is one of the greatest inventions and is fascinated by it. he added me and i was okay with that, but then he started adding my friends and taking those awkward quizzes online like which sexy female superhero are you. thats when i drew the line. i deleted him and told him to delete all of my friends. he deleted most of them but we are on better terms now than we used to be so i eventually added him back.

Maybe you should upload things that you'd be ashamed to show your parents you fucking idiot. Goddamn how stupid do you have to be to not realize that?

Jesus christ, stop bitching about such tiny insignificant things. There are people who's bodies are eating away at their central nervous system and who have 10-15 years left to be able to walk. Be lucky you have parents who might be concerned about what the fuck you're wasting your time with.

Also, my mom has a facebook, and I couldnt give two shits if I tried. My mom has a right to her socialize with her friends just as much as I do. If it's such a problem, then delete it. And if your parents feel the need to check out your page and invade your (public page) "privacy" then maybe it's because you're doing something wrong. Again dont post anything you'd be ashamed to show your parents.

My mom has a Facebook but I don't so it doesn't effect me (though I suspect she has some pretty embarrassing pictures of me on there). She also has a Twitter and Myspace, and I don't have those either. It's a spectacular way to avoid her seeing things I don't want her to, but it is a bit weird that she's on more networking sites than her teenage daughter.

unless your private message, what you say on facebook is like putting a poster up in public. so if you don't want people to see what you talk about, i recommend having meaningful conversations in public, on the phone, even through email. at the least through the private message function on facebook.

My sister just says to all adults who add her that she has a 'no adult policy', then flutters her eyelashes and talks about how it's important to stay safe on the internet which is why she won't add adults, whether they're family members or not. It works every time and everyone congratulates her on being so sensible.
