My son deleted all his accounts when he graduated from high school. Said he was sick of it all and wanted to start off college without it.

Did he create new or other ones after he arrived at college?
I did the same than him, and I had to recreate a facebook account. Reason n°1 were for group project : 90% of the people seems to have forgotten how email is working Reason n°2 were for the associations i am part of.

But I definitely missed last year (scholastically), and i feel that all the social network are addictive, so I am trying to avoid them (I only use Facebook through Messenger, I don't have Twitter, but it never took off in my country, Snapchat). I also don't use Youtube, because it is for me the television of the 21st century.

I am going back to college in 2 weeks, and I am slowly deleting all of my last online accounts.
