Nothing they need it for so what is the point??? Noone needs it unless they are just that desperate of a person!!!

No. They really don't understand what they're getting into. Everything you put online will be forever there. Anything that they put on there (Words/Pictures/Videos) could have serious repercussions on them later in life.

Kids that are younger than 13 get on Facebook anyways and lie about their age, and you see what happens with them. All the needless 'drama' that really just makes me want to jump out of a freaking window.

They're going to join anyway, so why not?

No. Mainly because of the language of some of the idiots on here that feel they can't express themselves without profanity. Pathetic.

seriously? Age restrictions on websites don't work. All the brat has to do is lie about his age. It should be the parents responsibility to regulate what kids these young are doing on the web.

omfg no
Just no
Keep them away
Honestly there are way too many immature people on Facebook and are my age as it is
Adding a bunch of 12-year-olds/younger kids will just make it WORSELSKDJF

That's way too young. Think about it, a student in Junior high school will go on another student's page and trash them if that person made him/her mad and will sent messages to kill that person, and do bad things to that person. Most kids under 13 are more violent than those who are teenagers, and what do you think they say about their parents if their parents does something or says something that don't like?, the answer is they will go on their Facebook page and say violent things to their parents.

No, if I had my way, no-one under 18 would be allowed to join.

It also depends on the kid, some kids are responsible online, some should be banned until 21.
