how do i deactivate my facebook account?

[adriennemclaren]

I tried deacitvating my facebook account, but after it said I was successfully deactivated, it said that I could come back any time by just entering my name and password. But the thing is... I want to DEACTIVATE it. As in, I don't want to be able to go back onto my account when I'm bored during exam-study time. Why is facebook so egar for me to come back to it? Ok, well that's not the question, but does anyone know how to deactivate my account so I can't just put in my password to get back on?
K, thanks a lot This would be really helpful as facebook is evil and takes over lives.

Go to home, then go to account, then account settings, then scroll down to 'Deactivate Account', then when you click on it your going to have to give them a reason, after that your gonna have to put in your password, then your account is deactivated

the thing is you can only push deactivate and your account is gone but you can log in and it all comes back..
Facebook doesnt have a delete button:[

You have two options: to deactivate it or to permanently delete it. This guide will explain you the two procedures:
