Jewish Values on Facebook
By Bobby Matalon Did you ever have a real friend? Well, Facebook tricks your mind. Facebook makes you believe that, if you get “Friended,” it means you got a friend. But, while you think you have friends, you don’t know them in real life. Maybe the reason you got friended is because the person who friended is saying, “Oh look. If I friend this popular guy, then he’ll friend me and because he friended me everyone will friend me. That’s how people think on Facebook. Most of the time people who friend you on Facebook are fake. They are just using you to get followers.

I LEARNED THAT FACEBOOK IS NOT A GOOD APP AND THAT MOST PEAPLE THAT FRIEND YOU ARE FAKE AND THAT YOU SHOULD NOT HAVE FACEBOOK BECAUSE ITS A SKAM
I LEARNED THAT FACEBOOK IS NOT A GOOD APP AND THAT MOST PEAPLE THAT FRIEND YOU ARE FAKE
Don’t spend time looking at images of people you don’t even know don’t do this while you can be learning Torah
i learned that facebook does not have real frends dont freind them to get followers there can be strangers its bad
i learned that social media is bad
wow boby i really learned a lesson from this
I like how your story is saying that you shouldn’t be someone you aren’t
well said
That is very true in every person there is always that sense of luck. I also want to add to your essay, people are also thinking “oh I know this person, I know him from camp one year, let me friend him” but that person does not know what a real friend is.
I agree with you people forgot how to speak with each other
Well said ppl should just talk to each other face to face !
Bobby my big bro. Thank you for aharing i learn a lot. Mom dosnt even let us on those sites but i see why. I like talking to my friends and playing outside

I agree with you
That is right people use you

you cant make real friends from websites
1.it teaches me to get real friends based on their personality not there status
2.it teaches me that facebook is not a real website they’re trying to use you.
3.the story taught me not to be jealous that other people have more friends because it matters if people really like you
4.the story teaches me not to forget your real friends because you became popular
5.
i think you are right and I agree that you should make a friend face to face instead of making a fake friend online .
dont friend people you don’t know on Facebook
i think you are right and make a friend face to face
i learned that to be someones friend you must talk to them in real life and see how they act
i think this is very wise and the message is that u cant make friends online with face book or twitter u have to really know him.
i learned that you shouldn’t believe everybody that wants to be friends with you only if they are sincere.
i learned that i should be friends with everyone and i should be nice to everyone
i learned that i should be friends with everyone and i should be nice
I think this is very true
This happens all the time and it hurts people Don’t Use kids it hurts them even though u don’t

FACEBOOK DOSE NOT HAVE REAL FRIENDS DONT FRIEND THEM JUST TO GET FOLLOWERS
YOU SHOULD BE CAREFUL ON THE FACEBOOK AND THIS TEACHES US DON’T USE PEOPLE
Bobby you are so bright people judge so quick
Bobby, I agree with you. People need to just talk to each other face to face instead of using the internet and texting.
Good boy bobby its true just stop going on the internet
Thats so smart bobby grandma loves u
Yes this is so true just bec you have Facebook friends it doesn’t mean u are or aren’t popular bobby you are the best
Your so smart bobby i couldnt have said it better myself
True bobby i never liked facebook
Right on target bobby people shoul just talk to each other
Love this it’s so true
It’s a shame how society defines the word “friend” so loosely. Bobby Matalon, you are wise for figuring this out so young.
Bobby is a true, real friend through and through. Facebook can cause others to believe that they have true friends, when in reality, they have built a false sense of security for themselves.
Very wise and very true and this young man knows what real friends mean
Bobby matalon, i think you are correct. I often see that people go onto facebook and find that they talk with others and chat but in reality these people are not thier friends. I learn that just be who you are and socialize without these sites.
Bobby I agree with you nobody in 5th grade would think as wise as you.
Facebook is bad because you spend to much time in the Internet .
