please wait to get a facebook. starts wat too much crap and drama and thats GOSSIP city. too many stalkers also, getting facebook is just asking for it.

Say to them you want to join facebook so you can talk to your friends/people online.

Compromise. Tell your mom to sign up too and be your friend so she can monitor any posts and such. Also allow her your password, so when in doubt she can check things out. Show her you have nothing to hide except 8th grade girl talk.

You have to be atleast 13 so tell them you're old enough and tell them all about these privacy settings. http://www.allfacebook.com/facebook-privacy-2009-02

Tell them that having a facebook account will not have a bad effect to your school performance.
