Is Facebook a good or bad way to make more friends? Is it safe or completely open to people?

well Im 13 too and not allowed to have one til im 14. Sometimes suggestive things can show up in the sidebars, (im not saying there is always terrible stuff there because most of the time it is just advertsiments for apps and other stuff, but sometimes there may be something innapropriate from time to time.) facebook shouldnt get you and your friends in fights unless your just talking mean to eachother. no different from talking or texting in that respect. If you dont set your profile to private, people can see your info. You can set it to you have to approve people to be on your list before they can see certain things. I wouldnt use it to talk to people I dont know, but thats really your choice. One thing to be warned aout it this- my brother is 18 and he got a friends request from a girl. This girl requested everyone on his friends list. turns out, that girl always posts links and says their a link to donate money to something or something like that, but turns out it goes to a website that says you must be 18 to see.and she also hacks peoples accounts. So you have to watch out for people like that. Generally, facebook is a great way to keep touch with friends and family. but i would get permission to use it first,
