How old should you be to have a facebook?

[Bookbinder]

Don't even think about getting a Facebook account. It's just a girly thing for people who have poorly-developed social skills. Do you really want to be some kind of nerd who sits at home and "corresponds" with friends via a computer? It's far better for your emotional development to pick up the phone and talk, or get out there and talk to your friends face to face. Anyone who has a Facebook account ceases mental development at about the age of 14. Look around you and notice how many people - who are old enought to know better - cannot speak properly without using textspeak, or cannot write without doing textspeak, or who cannot go to a friend's house and actually knock on the door or ring the bell. They just stand outside and text their friend to say that they are waiting for him/her. This is what these "social networking" sites do to people. And you should just wonder what a "social networking" site does with your personal information. If you don't enrol/enlist on such a site, you won't have to worry. Your mother is very wise. Listen to what she says.
