Should they or Shouldn't they??

I think people 13 and under should not be allowed on FB. They are not mature enough and they are predators that stay on Facebook just waiting to hook and catch a fish. Parents should feel the same way as well as teachers. Check out this teacher who has students 13 and under who have FB's and how she accepts their friend request. Should she be doing this?

FB says on their privacy policy that they do not recommend teens 13 and under to be on th site and must ask for their parents permission. My question is should it even be up to the parents or shoudl FB just not allow it. Check out this article of what other people think:

  1. Whit I totally agree with you, becuase they can easily get wrapped into what a person has to offer not knowing the negative outcome. However; most 13 year olds sneak on Facebook with their parents knowing anything about it.
    You'll do really good on the proposal and essay !!!!!

  2. yea i deff. agree with this ! I kind of liked how Myspace required you to be 18 and older to sign up (besides those who just lied about their birthday). They definetly are not mature enough and they are NOT ready for the Facebook world and what it has to offer... good and bad. It's even worse cause you see these little girls posting pictures and writing comments as if they have no respect for themselves. It would be really nice if Facebook could monitor that!!!
