I mean no disrespect to the original author. It is just that online social networks use the term "friend" when it really doesn't apply.

ex: If you spend time with a friend weekly or even monthly and then suddenly you never hear or speak to them again. Don't you think you'd actively pursue them to find out what is up before too long? I'm sure you wouldn't wait two years to investigate.

Quitting facebook/social networks will show you who your real friends are.
