Is Facebook a Drug?

This is a response to Ivan Arreola. Yay
 So many people use Facebook in different ways using as it as a tool or just using it for social skill and there also some people as a way to take advantage of others electronically and to harm others. So what is Facebook?
      Facebook is a company that makes a lot of money. It is a social networking site that billions of people around the world use. I think its awesome, but is very addicting. Facebook can also be a drug. Some people are so addicted to Facebook that they update their status every time they do something. According to CNN "therapists say they're seeing more and more people like Newton who've crossed the line from social networking to social dysfunction." Haha, addicted to Facebook, what losers. I think that to be addicted to Facebook, you would have no life. I think people who are addicted to Facebook constantly want to read what happening in other peoples lives.
      Another reason people go on Facebook is to play games. This is the biggest factor. There are lots of people who are addicted to the games on Facebook, not just Facebook itself. Millions of people go on Facebook and play games like Farmville, Mafia Wars, and tons of other games. Tony's Recommendations to cure Facebook Addiction: GO OUTSIDE,  cook, sleep, eat, go on a date, get your best friend in trouble, and a whole bunch of other things that are not Facebook related.
      Even though Facebook may be addictive, it is still a very useful tool for communication. Facebook keeps people connected and happy, if people are addicted then thats their problem. Facebook allows people to talk to each other from different countries. It helps people all the time. It lets people schedule events, talk to people, and even see people pictures. Facebook is a drug, but its a good drug, some people just overdose and abuse it sometimes. This is not even 350 words. I'm so close and I'm almost there. Ohh yea Mr.Sousa lost his keys today. It sucks cause we might not be able to use the field on Monday. Yay 362 words.

Emotions: Love

      Lovea profoundly tender, passionate affection for another person. Everything that I'm going to say is based on my opinion and experiences. Love is the strongest emotion that humans have. It has the strongest impact on peoples decisions and ultimately, what they do. Love comes in many different forms. People love each other for many different reasons too. In Kite Runner Amir finds Soraya. This was probably love at first sight. Can that even happen? I think the chances of finding true love are just about the same as winning the lottery. People feel love every day, toward family, friends, and even people that you've just met. 
      Love, as great as it is also has lots of consequences. When love is lost anger is usually not far behind. One example of this was the Shooting at Virginia Tech. The thing that caused this massacre was a girl breaking up with her boyfriend. The boyfriend gunned down thirty-two random students. Love can send people on rampages that always result in violence. When someone one looses a loved one, they feel depressed, and can lead to psychological disorders. It depends on the person, but usually when someone looses someone they really love, all they think about is revenge. Thousands of people die each year. I will bet 100 dollars that most of those deaths have some connection to love. People also do drugs when they feel depressed. Even though love is awesome, the side affects that come after it are anger, vengeance, sadness, depression, psychological disorders, deaths, and lots of other emotions. I know the kite Runner is based on fiction, but when Kamal dies, his father commits suicide because his love for his son was so strong. 
      Love... in the end, is it worth it? Hell yea! Even though there are consequences, its worth every ounce of pain, strength, and will. There were only two times that I've experienced a strong sense of love toward a girl. Once when I was ten. The second when I was 13. The second time, it wasn't as strong. It feels good to love someone. I love my family, they are awesome and are always give me lots of love. My love toward my close friends is very strong. If they need help, I would always do my best to help them no matter what. If they were about to get shot, I would take a bullet for them. I treat them the same way I would treat my brothers and sisters. They would do the same.....I hope :) 
      There are are ways to tell if someone like you. I'm being lazy right now and don't want to tell you. Maybe in another post. Yay
