Bullshit. I have never used facebook and I have never had an issue where I needed to.

If you are selling second hand, use a different platform. No one is making you use marketplace.

There are online portals, calendars, and even emails that notify parents of students and events.

You can call you friends and find out how they are doing. You can also email to keep in touch. Stop posting everything about yourself and the internet and you should be telling your friends the same.

You are just making excuses as to why you need it in your life and I have never had to use it for anything since its inception.
