How old should you be to get a facebook?

I know someone that made a Facebook for her daughter the day they came home from the hospital. In my opinion that is a bit much. If your daughter is 10 that would be fine, and you can also keep an eye on her. She probably wont appreciate it much though if you confront her about every single thing, she might see it more as spying on her. Being 10 she also is very trusting and would probably add every person who sends her a friend request so you need to talk to her about that before you let her make a profile on any social networking site.

I know what u mean even tho i am 13!
Anyway i got my Facebook at 10 and my mum and dad checked it every week to see what i had been up to.
So yeah 10 is about the right age!

P.S. She will have to lie about her age and say she is 13 or 14.

I think 10 is fine. My son is 8. Just make sure you have her password and you check it daily. It is not just for college students. My 7 year old nephew has one also. Make sure you put up all the security settings to help protect her. All should be fine.

Facebook allows only 13 year olds and above to join.
