I am going to be a Junior in college and an RA.  I have been using Facebook a long time...

My problem is 1) I am obssessed with checking it.  I look at my crush's and his girlfriend's profile ALL THE TIME.  It is a problem.  I get upset when I see pictures of them, then I lust after him more.  I am always looking for information aout them n what they're doing...I get nosy.

2) After all the facebook stalking I do on their pages, I get scared other people do the same to me.  I get very upset to think that people can pry into my personal infromation.  I like my PRIVACY and even putting up photos makes me conscious..I only want to share them with certain people.

3) As an RA, i have to be especially careful about what I put or what other people post on the wall.  I feel like peopel can take things the wrong way and that facebook does not represent you as a person.  It's very misleading, most of the time.

At the same time, I want to have a Facebook to share with my FRIENDS and to exchange photos and message each other.  I just need to figure out waht I'm going to do here.

I'm "friends" with a ton of people I barely know and I want them off there (I just dont want them to get pisseed or take it personaly).  I also want to make sure my crush cant see anything...I just dont want him to.

Is there any way to limit this easily or to make my profile more private?  meaning, I want to have a fun profile with my friends, but NOT with random people

If you have any ideas, please let me know.  
I just might delete it.  Should I"?

Also, the new Faceook layout looks even less private.;..What do you guys think of that new one?

Keep your Facebook. Just change your settings so only your friends can see your profile page, and delete anyone you don't want on your friends list. If you don't even talk to them, I don't see why they'd be offended.

keep it. make sure its on private so no one can see it but your friends and the friends you do'nt want on there change it so they can only see your limited profile so it won't hurt them but they won't be able to see as much into your personal life
