I've recently joined the Facebook world and some friends from the past have requested me as their friend. These so called friends were not so kind to me in years past and I was wondering if I should accept them or just ignore the attempt at renewed friendship.

Dear Holding Grudges,

Well this can be looked at one of two ways, depending on what your purpose is on Facebook. Some people use Facebook as sort of a networking tool. In that case, sure, forgive and forget and be friends. However, if you are a person who uses Facebook to keep in contact with close friends and family, then don't feel guilty for one minute about ignoring their request. Remember, there may be personal information about you or your family that you don't want "so called" friends seeing. I say that if it is not someone you would choose to be acquainted with outside of Facebook, you have no obligation to add them as one of your friends.

Sincerely,
Sage
