We've talked about Facebook leading to break-ups (divorce lawyers say it does), we've talked about the new Facebook timeline (most people don't like the updated look), heck...we've even talked about how the majority of you feel addicted to the Internet (61 percent and counting.) But now it's time to talk about Facebook... and age appropriateness.
With ever-evolving features and layouts, Facebook continues to have a big impact on how people interact in the digital world they've created for themselves -- but how soon is too soon? Once you open a Facebook account, it's official: you've started the process of leaving a digital footprint in the world -- for anyone to discover. Is that something a kid in elementary school is ready for? Or do you think Facebook is more of a harmless pastime for someone of any age group to enjoy? That's for you to decide. What do you think is an appropriate age for someone to get a Facebook account?

13 years old (Facebook's minimum age)
+16Parents shouldn't let their children have Facebooks until they are old enough. My mom made me wait until I was old enough to make one but you see on facebook 7 year olds that's a perfect way for a pedophile to get his hands on your children. They need to be mature enough to understand the dangers that are on the internet. I actually didn't make one until I was a Freshmen in high school. I mean Facebook isn't all that great to begin with why do we need little children on social media sites?

Well played, sir.
I am just not personally too favorable towards writing text on my friend's walls instead of calling them. I guess I'm old fashioned.
If I want to talk with a friend who lives in my town, I usually just call and arrange for us to hang out.
The problem is, as you said, I don't have a cell phone, and a lot of people I know in Ohio don't have mics or webcams, so the boring text on a screen that you're reading is as personal as it gets unless I happen to be staying in Ohio for some reason.
Nevertheless, I agree that it can come in handy for family, as I too prefer to not talk to them that much. :P
Oops. I didn't see there was 13 yr old choice - I would pick that one. ;) 13 yr old makes sense, It's like when puberty hits they would have their facebook page set already)) LoL
I think that 10-13 is fine as long as parents don't put the veto on it (which would make fb page more desirable) and explain their daughters that fapping onto your fb page for hours is retarded. Every child must be warned that any relationships on the internet are not real. There were numerous cases of suicide related to internet and stuff. That's just too Japanese.
Some troll (like me) on the internet told fat ugly girl she s beautiful trololo they had romantic love, but than he told her she was ugly and fat, so she killed herself. I mean. this is insane. dont be like that.
Finally, how would you stop 7 yr old from having fb page? All these web age limitations on porn can be avoided by a single click. Even a 7yrold can figure out where to click. lol So if parents are not around or not involved in computers so much, then..its inevidable
PS please dismiss my avatar, it is just troll thing, not related anyhow to anything.
PPS see? I ve put the warning sign in the beginning of this post, but u ve still read it, though you r clearly not...

PPPS Lol once when I was like 12 or so. I got into porn web site which actually had test in the beginning with some serious questions which normal child would not know the answer to. I did some research of course (google helps!) and passed it. And here I am, clearly an evil monster in flesh and blood. (*evil laugh*)
