In real life
I am for making friends in real life, because making friends in real life you know who is this person, but in social networks it is impossible to know person as well as you can do it in real life. There is no guarantee that this person is really good. May be he at that moment sit in prison or may be he is a asexual maniac and etc. Social networks are not reliable way to make friends.
In social networks
True indeed if your parents are strict or if you can't go out to see your actual friends you could get on a social network. But the problem is that nowadays most of the people you meet on a network if you haven't ever met them in real life are fake, pervs, or predators. Not saying that all networks are like that or that all people on there are like that but you never know. A predator can play the role of a trust worthy person for a while and get your information and who knows what else. It's just more safe to make friends in real life.

In social networks
Nowadays we have more friends in social network rather than in real life. Sometimes you have problems, but you can`t share it with friends in real life,so in network you don`t know the person and easily you can share everything what you have in your mind. Also it`s good if your friend from another country, you become more open-minded, you will get new information, you will know their traditions, i think that`s sound is really nice. We spend a lot of time for internet and chatting, but also we have to have close friends in real life.
