Facebook isn't hiding my join date! HELP!?

[Anna]

Timeline won't let me hide my join date!

Even though I can hide every other post and update, it has a pencil icon and a hide option, but it isn't doing anything. It stays on my Timeline and when I click ''viewed by others'' it's still there..

It was always possible before. I want it to be hidden please, I don't want people to know that I only just recently joined Facebook. It's the only thing stopping me from enjoying Facebook entirely.

Can someone tell me how to hide it?
No that cant be, please tell me its not true

I finally decide to do something about my non-existent social life and now FB does this to me?

Nothing ever works out for me! All I wanted was to hide my join date is that so much to ask?? I may as well just give up on life now
