True friendship is one of the most important<br />

things in your life and it’s being<br />

ruined by social media. Social media<br />

allows friendship to be a click of a<br />

button. Someone could have a million<br />

‘friends’ on Facebook, but, out of<br />

those, how many are genuine friends?<br />

why is it bad? On someone’s birthday<br />

Facebook, how many<br />

a person might get a text or tweet<br />

of “Happy Birthday” but what does it<br />

of them are real?<br />

mean? You don’t put any effort in saying<br />

it. The person gets so happy that<br />

gorgeous and wanted to post it but<br />

friends will be there for you if you need<br />

Did you ever have a real friend? Well,<br />

the girl looked not as pretty in it. So,<br />

help. No one posts on Facebook what’s<br />

Facebook tricks your mind. Facebook<br />

the friend posted the picture but she<br />

real. As a result, everyone thinks you<br />

makes you believe that, if you get<br />

You can’t find real friends because<br />

cropped the girl out. To the girl, she<br />

looked pretty. So, the friend posted<br />

the picture and the girl looked on Instagram<br />

and saw her picture and she<br />

wasn’t in it. So, the girl asked her<br />

feel as if you have a lot of friends<br />

when, meanwhile, you really don’t.<br />

the picture?” The friend answered,<br />

“Because you didn’t look pretty.” The<br />

girl got so mad. She went home and<br />

guy, then he’ll friend me and because<br />

he friended me everyone will friend<br />

me. That’s how people think on Facebook.<br />

Most of the time people who<br />

unfollowed her on Instagram, Facebook,<br />

Twitter. She never talked to her friend you on Facebook are fake. They<br />
