Like it or not, 'rents join Facebook

These days it seems as though more and more parents are joining Facebook. What used to be a social network for specifically for students is now open to anyone with an email address. When Facebook first began, it was limited to a select group of students with certain email addresses, but as its popularity grew, the site felt the need to open its doors to more users. Parents are now signing on to stay more in touch with their kids, particularly when they go off to college, but this recent phenomenon has caused mixed feelings in students. Kate Blackstone, a freshman in social work said that while neither of her parent's have a Facebook account, she said her some of friend's parents have them.
