Creating an account on facebook is too easy. You don't need to prove that you are you. So I think this could be used against you as well.
I've never met anyone who has made ​​a fake profile or has been caught by one.
But I know there are many reasons behind it. Part of them can be explainable, others cannot.
Before you question me ... No, I've never made a fake profile, but I liked to watch a series on MTV channel called " Catfish ", which promotes the meeting between couples who have been talking a long time online, but they have never seen each other.
The point is that in most cases one of them has a fake profile, then that person always postpone a possible meeting. It is everything because he or she pretends to be a person who they are not. Sometimes just to have fun, or because they have some difficulty to connect in real life.

Social networking helps you make many friends, but do you know who are you chatting with?

Crazy Facebook Profiles

I don't see and specific Facebook profile that is crazy, but I see many status and videos that make me laugh or think "what's wrong with this guy".
For example in high school my partners make a video in which a guy ask the teacher "There's homework" and then all the students through their backpacks to the guy. The first time you see it's like, "jajajaja they are crazy, it's too funny" but the second time you see the same video it's like "what's wrong with their lifes, they are crazy."
Or in other cases there are girls that take photos with 10% face 90% boobs and with a creative caption that said "Your hate feeds my ego" or "like if I'm pretty" and when you see that kind of photos you wish that someone tell her that she looks like a ***.
Those kind of videos or photos make feel that the people nowadays like to be attract the attention of everyone doing stupid things. [Megan]

Crazy Profiles (Deborah Balbuena)

I have several friends on Facebook that are a little crazy, always with something silly or funny, for example one of them always is asking for food and places having a good toilet, another upload pictures of him doing funny things. I have quite a few crazy friends.
Many uploaded videos of cute dogs wearing funny outfits, I love to see those videos, I think I am one of them. 
Well, I have a lot of Brazilian friends who have a crazy profile on Facebook. They are so weird... In Brazil, they are called ‘’ the cool guys’’ but they’re not. In Brazil, there is a type of music called ‘’Funk’’, in which the rhythm is excited making people never stop shaking, buuuut the lyrics is a bad influence because the singers talk about bad things, but they think that's alright. The singers use gold necklaces, big rings, cool cell phones… They try to be rich singing a bad song.
Most of people in Brazil likes those songs... Most of the singers are born in'' Favela".. but honestly, there is a guy who sings those musics, and he's really cute, but stupid at the same time.
They look like this:

Crazy Facebook profiles. By Gloria Yllán

Do you know someone who publishes crazy things on Facebook? Are you one of them?
Last week I saw a profile which has impressed me, it was about a dog. The owners had created it to share some picture of it.

I couldn't believe it! It was cute but my question was: why does a dog have a profile on the internet?
I discovered that the owners were in a relationship, so I realized that the dog was a gift.

The owners post things all the time. I've never seen something like that.

Now, I think: if you love your pet, you could make it a Facebook profile.

An important lesson that I learned (Deborah)

Enjoy the things that you have, today.

It was a such bad day in my house and my parents were fighting, 
so my brother, dad and I went to eat with my grandpa (the father of my dad) and we enjoyed the evening, the food and all that stuff, but my mom stayed at home so her mother went to our house surprisingly with gifts, like a bottle of Mexican tequila, candys, and a turkey (fun, I know) so they were so happy together.

Later, we arrived to my house  and my mom was so peacefully  and happy, so we can talk as a family and enjoy our dinner. 

After two days of that the mother of my mom unfortunately died, but her last words that she said to my mom was "Don't waste your life being angry with everyone, and fighting with them" just open your eyes and see how beautiful can be your life if you watch it from another perspective" so since that day my mom everyday in the morning tells me "Enjoy your present, so your future will be better" and I try it each day, and I'll try forever.

Well.. It was a time when I studyed at a rich school, and all my friends were riches and they had everethyng they wanted. But my life was not like that. My dad and my mom needed to work really hard to buy somethings to our house, or buy something for me and my sister. I was always greatful of the things that my dad and my mom gave to me.. but I always asked to myself "why can't I have what my friends have?"
And then I realized that  I can't compare my life with the others, because God made a different way for each one.

An Important Lesson I've learned (Ninoska)


                                                My best company it's ME

     A rainy august day in Caracas long time ago, I was taking a coffee with a friend and we were talking about our lives.  I started complaining about how boring was my life, for example, if I wanted  go to the beach, cinema, park or jogging, I always had to call friends and if they couldn't come, I stayed at home ... angry (with myself of course).

    He listened to me carefully and finally told me:
 "What about if you go to the beach, cinema, park or jogging, alone? 
Are you so bad company for yourself? "

  Wow, that question really slapped me.  Since that day I can go out, with friends or without them, I enjoy of myself and also I found it like an opportunity to go inside me and to learn from new people, places or events.  Yeahhh !
                                                                     Ninoska




Since I arrived in Montreal I’ve been living the peace that I looked for. 
A few years ago I had an opportunity to live something like that. I received an offer for working in a big company, in a small city of another state of Brazil, which is supposedly safer than Sao Paulo. 
It was everything that I wanted. 
Then I did a lot of interviews and I spent my days researching about the company, the city and its culture, history and things. 
But something happened and I wasn’t called anymore. I haven't known the reason so far, but in that time I almost fell in depression.
My mom used to tell that when one door closes, another one opens, 
and she was right.
Life has given me another chance and it has been better than last one.

My life lesson

"In matters of love and hate we are like newborns." Eduardo Punset.
Maybe this story is not talking about my own experience but I was right there when it happen.
Long time ago, like one year, my brother met one of his girlfriends, her name was Lizbeth. They met in a party and for an strange reason they fall in love, ten months later they broke up and my brother felt in depression, I was to young to understand what he felt in that moment but I remember what may mom said to him "I'm not here to said you that she was the worst woman in the world or start to talk about all of her defects because she is a human and she the reason why she end with the relationship. But let me tell you something, in your life you will met a lot of people, you will have a lot of girlfriends that you will love with all your heart, it's part of the life and you know that love is one of the amazing feelings a person can feel, but you always need to repeat in your head that the life is to short to suffer for one person."
To my brother was to difficult to understand the point of the conversation but when I gros up and remember that I understand what she said.
She wants that we learn about every experience that we have, good or bad, because every episode of our life it's a lesson and if we analyze it we won't get stuck there. [Megan]

what was the most impressive life lesson you've ever had so far? [KIMCHI]

I've learned many important life lessons so far.
For one thing, when I attended a baking academy, I met a lot of good people who were interested in baking there.
One of them is a man who is older than me and he was working as a culinary staff at a university foodservice facility.
And also he was very dexterous in making something with his hands.
One day, when I worked with him in a group at the academy, suddenly he asked me that "How did you start to learn baking?".
So I said "Since childhood, I loved drawing and making something with my hands, so I wanted to learn how to bake them and how to decorate them."
And then he said "There is no eternal workplace, there is a eternal career though."
I'm not sure that It makes sense. whatever.. that sentense was very impressive at that time for me.
When I decided to learn baking, some friends told me that a patissier is not a good job to earn a lot of money.
However, even though i couldn't earn many money, I wanted to have a job that I really want to be.
Actually, I still have a long way to go, but I'm working on it.
Nobody can stop me

An important life lesson I've learned by Gloria Stephania Yllán Garza

I think that always we are learning. Every day is a transformation, revelation, every day is a new equation.

I'll never forget the words that my grandfather said to my father, and my dad said me: I give you all opportunities for you can finish your career, find a need job, to eat my food. You shouldn't return me anything, because If I gave you, it's because I love  you.

But when you'll have kids, you gonna have return all that I gave you. But for your kids, you'll have to sacrifice the things that I sacrificed for you . You have to love them.


The parents always give us their infinity love, beacause they want to see us happy.
