4. You don't have to make friends with people you don't know.
It's not a competition to see how many friends you can get.
Don't make friends with people
who you don't know.

5. Don't let online social networking
take over all other methods of
communication.
Birthdays, engagements and

your friends when there's
important news.

photos you post,
both of yourself and others.
