Hello how may I help you? Help me set up my Facebook account Sure, I can help you with setting up your facebook. What have you done so far? I am on the homepage. Where do I go? There will be a little tab that says sign up in the top right corner. Start by clicking there. Ok, I did that Now they will ask you for some of your personal information such as your name and your email. Go ahead and enter that stuff in. I'll wait here. Do they really need my email address? Yes, they need your email so they have a way to get into contact with you regarding your account. It is necessary. Okay, it says my account is created. Now what? Now you can go through and enter as much or as little personal information as you like, such as where you live, where you're from, where you work, and where you went to school. I have entered that info. How do I find my friends? Facebook will start to recommend people based on your workplace and where you went to high school. The more people you add, the more that will be recommended. Wow, I see a lot of people I know. How do I add them? You can click on their name and it will take you to their page. On their page you will see a tab that says "request friend." Click on that and they'll get a notification letting them know that you'll like to add them as a friend. Also, be sure to add a profile picture. So they can recognize you! Oh no! I just received a friend request from my ex. What should I do? Would you like to be friends with your ex? If yes, go ahead and approve it. If not, you can reject that friend request, and you can even go as far as to block them so they wont be able to bother you again. Will they know if I reject the request? They will know, because they'll see that the friend request is no longer pending. But don't worry about hurting their feelings, this is your facebook page! Thank you. This social media stuff is complicated! It really is, but it can be fun if used properly. It's almost like a high school reunion every time you open your page!
