Its so nice, now that I’m older. No longer am I concerned with having to be popular.  My school days were filled with wondering how I could be with the in-crowd and be accepted.

Today’s kids seem to be under the same pressures and self-esteem seems to still be a great issue amongst the young.

So, while trolling around Facebook the other day, I started looking for people I used to know.  For those of you that have done this in the past, you’ll notice a real kick to the ego.  When you stumble upon someone who hasn’t really paid attention to their Facebook and they haven’t connected to anyone…if you try to “View Friends” you find a blank page that says…”Johnny Bud has no friends.”

In these days of rampant narcissism and Ego-Googling, this just strikes me as a public relations nightmare from Facebook.  Are they trying to guilt us into  finding friends?  Are they calling us out for being worthless slobs?  What gives?

Luckily I found a few friends for my Facebook…my ego remains in tact.  But how many unfortunate people are being slammed by Facebook inadvertently?

So, next time you go trolling around Facebook looking for old friends…if you stumble upon someone who has no friends…have some sympathy and add them as a friend.  Stop Facebook’s personal slander campaign!

(Tongue firmly planted in cheek, of course)
