Facebook friends for my teenager daughter

[Guest guest]

Does anyone have a teenage daughter that would like to be a facebook friend with

my 14 y.o. daughter? I think this might be a good way for us as parents to play

friend match maker for our kids. If so, we could email privately between parents

to set up the facebook introduction for our girls so it's safe.

The reason I'm suggesting Facebook is because it's safe if used correctly. And

if anyone gets out of line you can immediately delete a friend and they can't

contact you any more. Also Facebook gives kids a good way to reply to other's

comments without having to type out an entire email. The way I look at it, an

online friend is a whole lot better than no friends at all. Plus, there's a

bunch of online games such as farmville if they're into that.

My daughter has 20 or so " friends " on Facebook when actually there is not a

single one who is truly her friend. She could post that she's in the hospital or

her house burned down and not one single friend would comment or respond to the

the post. It would make her feel so much better if someone would just say " hi "

or " I like the photo of your bird " , etc. Our kids need positive social

interaction and this might be a way to help with that.

If anyone has any other ideas or if this post is out of line, please let me

know.
