You need to change your privacy settings on your Facebook account before you start using Facebook. Do you really want everyone on the internet seeing all your private family photos and conversations on Facebook? People often presume that if you have a Facebook account, everyone can automatically see everything. This is not true. You can change your Facebook privacy settings to suit your needs. For example you can allow any old stranger to view your whole account and stalk you, or you can hide your profile and block them out.
