What is facebook???????

[skv77]

I'm guessing you're young. You can't have a myspace or a facebook account under 13. I don't know much about myspace. With facebook, you have to grant people permission if they request to add you.

It is safe, IF it is used properly. Thats the point about most of these social and chat websites.

As long as you are only adding people you know, and only allowing your information to be viewed by people you know, then its perfectly fine. You run in to a danger zone, if you're adding random people, or chatting to people you don't know.

To create an account you go to facebook dot com. Then once you have an account, you can add friends (and remember ONLY add friends, not strangers - don't add people because your friends did, or because they go to your school, or you think you may know them - only add people who you recognise and know and are friends with).

Go to the Settings > Privacy Settings > Profile
and make sure you set everything to only be viewable by your friends.
Do the same for Settings > Privacy Settings > Search ---- make sure you DO NOT check the box 'create a public listing'
