For the purposes of the study, an online survey is conducted and snowball sampling was used to reach out active Facebook users. 462 valid survey forms were collected and data is analyzed by using descriptive analysis and inferential analysis. The study indicated that insulting behavior, flirting attempt, content against animal rights, racist and sexist attitude are the main online reasons of friendship dissolution for Facebook users.
