should i delete my facebook account?
Last year, I made a Facebook account and was proud of it, until now. I have about a hundred or so friends online but none offline. I feel kinda ashamed because people might wonder why an outcast like me would make an fb account. So should I delete my account or what?

You should keep your account. I have about 275 friends on facebook. Half of them I don't really talk to. Most of them are just people I'm acquaintances with but I wouldn't call them my friend. I have about 15 or 20 actual people I would consider friends on my facebook. The rest I'm just friendly with.
You shouldn't care about what other people think anyways. If you like facebook then keep it. Don't let other people control what you want to do.

Even outcasts have every right to have their own facebook. Hey, you have 100 friends on there, so at least 100 people think enough of you to be your FB friend. Who cares what other people think about your making an FB account? Who made them the judges of internet propriety? If you tend to be the shy type, FB is a way you can express yourself and "put yourself out there" more comfortably. Just be careful what you put on there, being aware that it is, for all practical purposes, a public forum.
Do not let shame, fear, or self-consciousness pursuade you to shrink back from life.

This is odd because I think a few days ago I read an article about this on Yahoo and damn I should of saved the link...
It is a fact that most people on facebook have lots of friends but what you really should realize is those "friends" are half of the time just people they barley know or friends of friends. When you nail it down to "true" friends most people actually only have no more then 10.
Now, Why would you go and delete your facebook because you don't have many people on there? Do you enjoy facebook? Do you play games? Seriously, I wouldn't worry about the popularity of others and compare them with your facebook status. To be honest, I have a facebook and I probably have no more then 80 people because I personally choose to only add people that are close to me. Someone who would randomly go and friend random people or people they barley know would be facebooks way of calling it "Whoring" which means just adding random people to gain popularity. Doing so you are at high risk for being hacked and having the wrong person gain information etc. Be happy with the people you do have, If you find yourself bored try checking out some of their games. You do not have to have a million friends to have a facebook.

Of course not! You know how people exaggerate their life on fb, making friend with people they barely know. On Fairybook, people I met once and aren't even that good of friends with send requests. At least you can easily build a barn on farmville!
