My mom won't let me get FB, HELPP!?

[Adele]

Beg and say you will do chores around the house for her if she lets you. But actually do the chores because she will never fall for it again otherwise

I think that if you're under 13, DONT GET ONE YETT!!!! there are a lot of weirdos out there, and its not safe. BUT if you are OLDER than 13, tell your mom that you can make your stuff private so that no one other than your friends can see your photos or posts. Also, tell her about your other friends on facebook. Maybe get a friend to help you out??
Stay safe!!

ps,
Patience, grasshopper lol

My mum was like that and I just sucked it up and on my 13th bday I got it as a bday pres- sad I know but that's the law

Tell her she can monitor you on it! Everyone has fb these days its like the main social tool in this day and age ( sad but true) also only agree to have close friends and a private profile hope this works x

[tehabwa]

MAKE her? LOL

YOU are not the PARENT, SHE is.

You'll survive.

The more you act like a two-year-old, the more likely it is she'll change her mind and say you have to wait until you can act like someone OLDER than 2.

Facebook saw an unexpected slump in users this Christmas in the UK, with 600,000 social network visitors switching off.

The dip - a fall of 1.6%, according to monitoring firm Socialbakers - made Britain the only country among Facebook's top 10 territories where usage dropped.

Monitoring firm SocialBakers said that Britain is the sixth most active country on the social network, with 33 million users.

Responding to a Guardian article, the monitoring firm said that the 'fall' in numbers could be caused by the fact that Britain is nearly at "full penetration" in terms of Facebook users - with 52.65% of the population using the network.

The firm points out that more than half of the population are on Facebook, while 15% are under 13 and not allowed on Facebook.

A further 16.5% of people in UK are older than 65 and "typically not on Facebook" according to SocialBakers figures. Only 4% of 65+ year olds are on Facebook in the UK.

"I can't imagine their fans could grow by 10–20M new users, although this depends if they allow teens under 13 on the platform and furthermore largely depends on their mobile adoption," the firm said in a statement.

"The numbers are from Facebook’s ad interface, and Facebook unlike other companies, updates this data on a pretty regular basis. No other company does that – they give you rough estimations on an irregular basis, which is not enough in todays moving social marketing world."
"The monthly active user count is statistically vulnerable to more casual users of the platform, users that don't use it that often and might fall out of the 30-day range from time to time. And yeah, my grandpa might sometimes not be an active user on Facebook, even though he is using it."
