It's probably more along the lines of "I hate that I have to use Facebook, because that's the cool thing to do, but everyone else uses it, so I'd be even more uncool if I didn't use it."

My buddy had a status update today that I think sums up the feeling:
"Going to Facebook has become the equivalent of opening the fridge & staring inside, even though you're not hungry."

No more like:
If I didn't use Facebook I wouldn't know what everyone is talking about. See also: reality TV.

It's high school, it's so easy to become ostracized if you don't do the same as all the other kids in class.
Maybe I'm too far from high school but I can't picture a situation where you would have to use FB "constantly" even though you "hate it". It's not really explained in the article either, there's just some superficial quotes about "Drama" and "Adult presence".
I know adult's who say they hate facebook but maintain accounts but this equates to logging in for a couple minutes a couple times a week, liking some photos, maybe posting a few and then getting on with their day.
