Religious Customs Before Social Life - Students Give Up MySpace and Facebook for Lent
Students Give Up MySpace and Facebook for Lent
 Published: Mar 29, 07

I have heard of giving up candy, pop, and TV for Lent but never this.  But for some individuals, as they approach Easter, giving up Internet sites like Facebook and MySpace is not uncommon.

 

 Many users describe the popular social networking sites as addictive, which is why they say giving up these 21st-century temptations is a sincere sacrifice. Members on both sites create profiles and add each other as friends. They can also share messages, photos, videos and personal blogs. "It's been hard, especially in the beginning," said Kerry Graham, who says she gave up Facebook for Lent. Her boyfriend challenged her to do so, describing her as a "Facebook fiend." During the first days of Lent, the 23-year-old graduate student admits she had to stop herself from typing the site's Web address nearly every time she checked her e-mail. (cnn)
