How to persuade my mum to let me have Facebook? - Daniel - 11-10-2012 12:55 AM
My 14 year old and 18 year old sisters have it and my 15 year old and 16 year old brothers have it, it, and Im old enough to get it, but my mum wont let me, what could I say to get her to say yes?
im 13 and you have to be 13 or older to get it, right?

Say it's for games (e.g. farmville), not for socialising

Just prove to her that you will use it sensibly or something

get her to set her own one up and hopefully she'll catch up with old friends and stuff, and seeing just how good it can be, she might allow you to have one as well.
worth a try.

I have it and I'm 13 :L
I had the same problem, I got it ages ago and then Mum didn't let me go on it 'cos it was 'dangerous'
I went on it anyway
Then I asked if I can go on it again, and I said stuff like it's good for contacting my old friends or family who hasen't got msn or something
Good luck!

How old are you ? Are you allowed to have Bebo - there is a greater risk of virus' through Bebo than there are through FB, maybe that would help.
Does your mum check your PC ?

How old are you honey? What's the reason for your Mum refusing in the first place? Can your brothers and sisters help you persuade her by looking out for you?
I imagine your Mum is only worried and trying to protect you so try not to be hard on her decisions, tell her why you want it and have a discussion about why she had refused, good luck ;-)

Say you will put all your pictures and anything else you can on friends only, so people that search you can't see private things
And also say you want it for the games
Let her set it up with you so she knows what information you are putting on your page. Don't put your mobile number and things down.
I hope it helps

it might be awkward at first but have a speak with your mum and tell her about how you knoiw youre not gonna meet people you dont know , tell her youre gonna use it to speak with your friends only , and let her check it from time to time at first
if youre 14 or something like that tell her there is this girl you like you wanna get to know , might be awkward for you but cute for your mum she cant say no

just prove that its not fair also tel she could check the acc anytime and else she could limit the time you use fb
