In 2011, there were 7.5 Million Facebook users under the age of 13. I was one of them.
Here is why I wish I wasn’t.
1. The internet was a better place without my duck face and peace sign selfies.
2. I’m sorry for “poking” you 50 times in a row and getting offended if you didn’t “poke” me back.
I was probably flirting.
3. I had to awkwardly go back and delete the “family requests” that I accepted.
Because, for some reason, I thought I wasn’t truly best friends with Stephanie if Facebook didn’t list us as being “In a domestic partnership”.
4. For some reason, I joined a thousand Facebook groups.
This included “I hate when my parents ask who I’m texting,” “Each girl has that ONE boy … that they will NEVER lose feelings for </3,“ and “That one guy in Spongebob that always yells MY LEG! XD XD XD.”
5. #Hashtags #Don’t #Belong #On #Facebook
6. I think I went through an Emo Stage just so I could use the black and white filter and edit the crap out of my selfies, making my profile #SoHardcore.
7. All the “Truth Is” posts on my wall went something like...
“Truth is…… You seem super nice and we should hang out more! <3 <3 PeAcE OuT gIrLy!” Reminding everyone of all the temporary thots in my circle.
8. Nothing gave me more anxiety than waiting to hear back from my crush's “Like this for a 1-10 rate” post.
9. A trip to the Apple Store = 100 new Facebook photos
10. My Justin Bieber birthday shoutouts were just too excessive.
