Is a 5th grader to young to be on Facebook or Twitter?

I'm 15, just FYI.

It can be yes and no.
Your parents may kind of be misinformed. My mom said no to myspace (and still says no) because myspace is just in general unsafe because your profile is viewable to everybody and setting it to private doesn't always work.
It is up to them, but facebook is really safe. You can set it to where you can only view your name if you aren't friends with them. If a person is caught by a predator on facebook, its because they were being a fool and accepting friend requests from everyone.
Though the thing is, the age limit is 14, but that doesn't matter because most people don't follow it.
