I kept my Facebook but I never use it. good thing I kept it though because my job required a whole bunch of references which I wouldn't of gotten if it wasnt for Facebook...but I can see how it can cause depression. People put way too much of their personal life on there...nowadays it makes me sick how people literally update everything in their lives on social media...thank god my partner and I stay away from that shit
