2) Do you think it is a good idea to accept requests by your parents to add them readily to your friends’ list on the Facebook? Why?

I think it a good idea to accept requests by your parents to add them readily to our friends' list on Facebook. The reason is some of the children do not know how to express their thoughts to their parent so they can express through Facebook. Parents also can keep track on what is their children doing. Parents also will not misunderstand them their children, because they will know what their children are doing by Facebook. In the other hand, if the child did not do anything wrong, why are they scare to accept their parent's Facebook request? So I think it a good idea to accept requests by our parents to add them readily to our friends' list on the Facebook.
