I feel like on a normal day, my Facebook news feed is filled with more positive posts than negative ones. I don't see people whine that often.

This shouldn't be surprising - don't people want to put their best foot forward on facebook? Sure, whining is fun some of the time (yay validation! everyone like and comment and agree with me!!) but a lot of the time you want to not sound whiny.

I would also hesitate jumping to conclusions based on the experiences of a seemingly antisocial 16 year old (not quite her words, but she seemed to imply it) and a 13 year old who started using Facebook when she was ELEVEN?

I would not be surprised if kids in that age range whine more than kids in mine (18-24)
