I just started a FB account and it has been a blast getting back in touch with college and high school friends!
I love my account, I am in contact with my friends in Mass and in Texas, those that I went to grade school with, high school and college. I post pictures there and share jokes.
I love how I find one friend and then they put me in contact with many others.
I also love telling stories on people from way back when. Often times the spouse of an old friend will be on facebook too and you can share some of the funny things their spouse did in school.
^^ It is hysterical because some of the high school and college friends are "finding" long lost pics that I had hoped and prayed were destroyed and are posting them!! UGH!!! It is fun!

Ive been doing the same thing. One of my friends now performs with the Boston Pops, she was DREADING when I pulled out our 8th grade trip pictures.
ok wait a minute. you a grown@ss man and you are still avoiding someone from when you were a baby?
was he a bully? the kid no one liked? an ex friend? no need to provide too much detail. but its interesting that you would not want to see how this person turned out.
i love connecting with my old school friends from 20+ years ago. even if we hated eachother.
thats the best part of this internets stuff.
what is the reason you fear this person/ persons access to your life...
hmmm
do you think homeboys got a crush on you?
interesting.
at the end of the day, you can always keep on denying him. its not that stressful to click a button. we tip tap away at the keyboard endlessly, incorporate that delete stroke into your daily routine. keep on "ignoring" him.
but dont get anxious or worked up about it. just look at it as the junk mail we get.
of course the best thing would be to directly tell them you dont want to be their friend. better yet...
set up a bogus account. one that is def you, vut with limited info and contact this person. tell them you do not want to be their friend. once the issues is dead ditch that account and carry on with your other one like if it was all a bad dream.
dont fret young man.

I also think some of you have misunderstood as well. He's not a former classmate. I knew him when I was 13-16 years old. Im now 34. I guess I'll look into blocking him
Chessie-I am fully competent on the privacy settings on my profile. I was not sure there was another way besides blocking him that I can get the message across besides denying him for the 14th time. And yes, I believe 14 times of requesting to be someones friend and not getting a yes confirmation is harassment.
I've seen friends and family get Facebook accounts and all of a sudden scads of people who never gave a s*#t about them and who they haven't seen in 20 years are wanting to be their "friend." I simply don't get this at all. It's like, "you hated my guts in school and hardly ever spoke to me, why the hell do you want to be my 'friend' 20 years later??" It just strikes me as the high school popularity contest replayed 20 years later.
Just my thoughts on Facebook. Sorry I have no insight as to the original post.

Apparently there are some psychologists who actually think social networking sites are bad for the psyche. They believe it's a natural part of life to lose contact with people and have them remain in the past - that bringing too many of them back into your life and never moving on from certain people is damaging to how we learn to deal with friendships and relationships.
I have a Facebook account and have gotten in touch with a few people from my past. But there are certain people who I wish to remain in the past, not because I have a problem with them but just because I feel that's where they belong. If you feel differently, that's fine but just because you're incapable of understanding it doesn't give you the right to make such rude comments and assumptions about someone you don't even know.
