       Now, number nine wont be relevant to everyone but will be to most, and that is avoid spending too much time on Facebook. The people of my generation have put a great emphasis on being very social. For many even, their friends have become their gods. And their appearance before others, how they are perceived by others, etc, is of upmost importance. People are obsessed with Facebook. Really, most of the time all Facebook is, is keeping up with the rat race. It is all about comparing ourselves with others, seeing constantly how we measure up with our ‘friends.’ But remember, what really matters is what God thinks of you, not what others think of you. It doesn’t matter if you don’t have all that your friends have. You don’t have to have a nice house, or a husband or a wife, or a boyfriend or a girlfriend. God will provide the things you need when the time is right, if it is his will for you. Why not try to have a regular, normal conversation with someone? Or, call the person. Many people on there use what psychologists call ‘selective bias.’ This is when people show you what they want you to see, and totally leave out other important facts.
