Parents on social networking sites.

It's kind of awkward having your parents in your list of friends in your facebook account. Actually, any social networking sites.. But what to do? We cant just ignore their friend request and decline. Even pretending not to see their friend requests is a little weird. I mean, you cant just do anything. Eventually, you just have to accept them and pray to God they wont find anything that you posted like:

• I'm bored so I'm not gonna go to school.
• Homework again? I'll just copy tomorrow.
• Not going to class, date with boyfriend tomorrow.
• I am so fucked up.
• Party tonight, see you..

Those sort of stuffs. That could really get you in trouble. Especially when you told your parents that you're gonna sleep over your friends house to work on a project but, there goes someone tagging you on their statuses about how fun your night was drinking and dancing together with your friends. Pictures could also put you in trouble. I mean, I've been on a trouble because of those pictures. Wearing bikinis when your from a super religious and conservative family, drinking and smoking cigs when you're not aloud to, or those pictures of you smacking and hugging some random guy.

The thing here is, my mom has an account and I don't really care if she sees everything because we're really close and everything I do is totally legit to her as long as I dont do anything that could ruin me or my studies. But, just this morning.. I found out that my father already made his account and a request is waiting for my confirmation. Seriously, I was having second thoughts. Should I accept it? How about my freedom of speech? How could I share something without him knowing? It kinda pisses me off.

And I just came out with a brilliant solution. I remembered that I could always make a second account, use twitter and blog everything. I'm not posting links there so he wouldn't know anything. I just gotta have to adjust myself to opening my twitter, blogspot and tumblr more often than facebook. And I gotta learn to choose my words.
