My son wants to join facebook. Whats the youngest age for a facebook account?

Facebook requires members to be at least 13.

Many parents don't let children that young have accounts.

I'm not sure but i know someone that's 10 who's on it.

You need to be at least 13 years old in order to join facebook.

13.

My daughter just turned 13 this week but she faked her age at 12 to join.

And just this week I'm dealing with an issue of cyber bullying by someone in the same year in her school who was on her friends' list (she barely knows him) writing totally unprovoked, abusive comments on her Wall. These kids just add anyone indiscriminately who appears on the 'People You May Know' section, if there are mutual friends.

I wasn't happy about her joining but social networking sites are so pervasive you can't really avoid them. Banning them may just result in the children joining them anyway without a parent's knowledge.

We struck up an agreement that I would go into her account periodically to have a look around for any suspicious activity. I didn't see this one coming. I've taken over her account and am monitoring it for a few days as well as taking it up with the school and the boy's class teacher.

should be 18 or whenever you enter college because thats where it began. Only people with a .edu email account could be on facebook, but now the entire world is on it, pretty crazy if you ask me.
