Do you have a facebook or twitter, If so are you a non-stop status or tweet poster? If your parents offered to pay you money for deactivating it, would you?. If you would deactivate, how much money would you take. Would you request a higher amount of money to be socially disconnected? or would you be willing to take the 200$ and happily sign a contract with your parents?

I do have a facebook and twitter, but I'm on twitter more than facebook. I would deactivate my facebook and twitter if my parents paid me enough money. It would half to be more than $200 though. I would do it for about $400.
I have both of the two accounts including still a myspace in which I need to deactivate so no one can see my stuff from a long time ago. I don't get on facebook that much anymore, but I do tweet a lot through out the day. I would have no problem deactivating either of the accounts if my parents gave me that much money. I would take up to $200. I wouldn't do a high amount because of being socially disconnected, I'm sure I would hear of all of the gossip in school, and we do have text messaging. $200 is plenty, and I would be happy! (:

I have both a Facebook and a twitter. I tend to tweet more than I post on Facebook. I have not been on my Facebook in a while now. I would agree to deactivating my Facebook for $200, but with my twitter I would request more. I think that this is an okay parenting method. Yes, some people would say that it its bribery, but I don't think they know the whole story. I don't think this decision was made out of the blue I feel some sort of bulling or situation occurred for this to be brought up as a result.
I don't have a Facebook or Twitter. I found social networking sites like that useless after awhile and I became bored with it all together. If I still had my Facebook, I wouldn't need a bribe to let it go. I actually did it without any problem at all. I can see why the dad bribed her if it was consuming her time or getting her into trouble, otherwise I see it as a useless trick. It doesn't teach his daughter any kind of realistic lesson in life. I wonder if he plainly asked her to delete it and then she came up with this payment plan? I hope she doesn't grow up thinking that money will always be the answer to any problem, especially such a tiny deal like this one.
I do have a facebook but I don't get on it that much. If my parents offered me money to deactivate I would probably say no until they offered me enough money. If I was to deactivate it I would probably have to get somewhere around $500.
I have both Facebook and twitter. I really do not get on those sites at all so I really do not post stuff. If my parents asked me to deactivate it for money, I would ask why and then still wont do it. I mean I dont get on there a lot but why would they want me to deactivate the account? Even if they made me, I could just go make another account. She just might be doing that. It never stated in the contract that she could not make another one. So she just might be trying to get free money for stuff and she can still keep a Facebook page. Smart thinking if that was her plan. I wonder if the dad even thought about that when he signed the contract. Well its signed now so if that was her plan it worked.
