Formspring

Formspring.me is the new "fad" on the internet. It is a place for teenagers and pre-teens to go on and trash-talk anyone they want and say anything anonymously to anyone. It's dangerous. It's entertaining. It's stupid.

I had a formspring about 2 months ago. I thought it was really interesting what people had to say, but for the most part, I really didn't get too many negative comments. It was actually quite boring. I wanted some negative comments because I thought it would be interesting. But before I deleted it on my own, my mom found out that I had one and asked me to delete it. No problem, I thought, because I wanted to delete it anyway.

As stupid as some kids are for writing nasty stuff on others profiles, it is even stupider to continue using the website after hearing and reading certain things about it. The ridicule has caused at least one person to kill themselves and everyone else has to be idiotic to continue using this pointless website. Facebook and myspace's all have uses and advantages. Formspring will keep you entertained for maybe a week and then it truly gets old. There are no advantages to it; you cannot connect with others the way you can on Facebook. If teenagers want to expose themselves to this ridicule, let them. It's their own faults. As much as I don't want anyone to commit suicide or become upset over this, it's good to realize with personal experience how dumb the website is.
