facebook's terms are for users to be aged 13 and over. They don't have parental controls, only privacy settings with which you can control who has access to your profile.

Facebook does have some, very limited protection for under 18s, so if you lie about your age you risk not having these.

Every parent wants to protect their child from bullies, fraud, computer viruses and worse; it's only natural. So try to see this from their point of view Don't yell, no matter what happens! Lose your temper and you've lost the argument!

I don't know how old you are, but as you are at school you are going to have to convince them that you understand why you need to take care on the internet and that talk about what steps you can take to protect yourself and the computers from the stuff parents are frightened about. You are also going to have to convince them that you will do your homework and go to bed and not spend 24/7 in chat rooms and social networking!

Some useful material to share with your parents... they'll show you've done some research! You all should watch/read these:
