My Friend Hacked Into My Facebook!

Dear Advice Girl,

Today at school, someone came up to me and asked me why I said mean things on Facebook. Then I found out that my best friend got into a fight online, and to fix things, she hacked into my account and backed herself up.

It got me into trouble with my friends, plus she lied to my face about it. Should I forgive her or not?

Signed,
   Rachel

Dear Rachel,

First, let's go over the moral of the story. You've figured it out already, right?

Don't share your online passwords with anyone.

Not your boyfriend, not your sister, not your friends, not even your goldfish.

Imagine if your BFF had gotten into a fight with you. She could've done way more damage with your Facebook account than just getting some people mad at you.

Now that you know the rule about passwords, here's how to clear your reputation. Log in to Facebook, change your password and send out a status update that says: "I'm sorry if you read something I said on here the other day that upset you. Someone else who was using my account said those things. I won't let it happen again." Don't name check your BFF or it'll just fan the flames.

Then, assuming your friend regrets what she did, go ahead and forgive her. Friends are allowed to make mistakes, as long as they really, truly learn from them and change their ways.

Love,

For passwords, use something long but easy to remember. Use like a short sentence that's like 20 characters. Numbers work too. :)

Why not use something that only you know? that always works.. (No, not your birthday, your #, or your address.) Why not the nickname from when you were in kindergarten or a random code to remember? x]

It's never okay to hack someone's account, even if you think at the time that it was okay to do. I know, because I've done it; to see if a friend was talking 'whack' about me and my BFF. Well. She was. And although it was a great topic of discussion for the rest of the month, it was awfully unethical of me to do such a thing. But that was different. My back-talking friend felt guilty, and I was ashamed by what I'd done too. No hard feelings though; We just move on, forgive, but don't forget. Don't make the same mistakes. Just listen to advice girl. She's knows that the bird is the word.

uh NO ! if she was really your friend, she would have asked you. And she lied to your face about it, that's not what friends do. If you did it to her, I'm pretty sure she'd be pretty ticked.

All friends make mistakes. I am sure you will make mistakes too along the way. So just sort everything out then ask her why she did it, then from that point, see if you can forgive her.
