How to Unfriend People on Facebook

Over the last couple days I got a couple of people who asked about how to unfriend a person on Facebook.

The first question I always ask is why do you want to unfriend that person? Is it because you just don't want to read all of their millions of status messages? You can simply hide those messages from other people seeing them.

I ask that question because I think it's important to think about the ramifications of unfriending someone. As a school or even as a teacher, I think it is important to think about what unfriending might mean to that person. By unfriending them are you cutting off your relationship with them forever?

They do not get a notification that you are no longer friends. But they can no longer look at your profile and if they would like to request your friendship again they are unable to do that. You have to re-friend them.

If you want to limit what they see of your profile with out cutting them off, you can always limit their access to what they can see by using the limited profile or friend lists option.

How to Unfriend

If you decide to unfriend them go to the top of your screen and click on All Friends.

Next down to the friend you want to get rid of and press the X next to their name.
