Facebook friends and news feeds

I don’t know whether if it’s just me or it happens to many of you also.

Here is the Situation:

I sign in on Facebook and here I see the latest news feeds that are OFTEN not really pleasing. Sometimes the posts and images that are actually depressing and they make me feel terrified and extremely sad and stressed out. Images like someone is killing someone brutally. A kid died and the picture of his dead face and a caption written beneath the picture. This all makes me feel tensed and I’m like what’s this? My whole day is spent in a state of grief. Just like today a Cousin posted a link with image "a Palestinian Guy is thrown on the ground and left with the wild dogs… and now I’m completely OUT and just want you guys to help me out. How deal with this situation?

Is there anyway to block News feeds from certain friends?

I don't know if there is any option but I hide such stories as soon as I see them.

Re: Facebook friends and news feeds

you can unsubscribe from news feeds, but that means that you wont be able to see what they post afterwards either

Re: Facebook friends and news feeds

^ lol I don't expect any pleasing and USEFUL story from them so I have not worries

Re: Facebook friends and news feeds

I blocked newsfeeds from a girl who posted stuff like that. Im fine with blood/gore, I work in an er, but this girl was too much. One time I was looking at profile pic and all of a sudden a pic of a decapitated Child showed up. I thought I was going to puke.

I don't see the point of these kinds of posts on FB. Odd.

Re: Facebook friends and news feeds

a lot of people will post all that stuff to get maximum number of "likes" from their equally........disturbed friends.
