I am sick of my parents trying to blackmail me. How can i hide a facebook account from them?

Im 16 and basically ive been asking my parents for facebook for years. At first the reason they said no was because they were teachers. Then, because they dont know anything about it. Then because they dont like it. Ive explained everything to them and my nine yr old sister has kik, but they wont let me have facebook. The problem is that EVERY SINGLE PERSON around me has facebook and the fact that i dont makes me socially withdrawn and i cant contact friends that go to other schools. Now they are just using it as an excuse to get me to do everything for them. They want me to tidy up the whole house, cook dinners, do every single chore they can thing of .... And then maybe they will THINK about it. Im just sick of it, its not even about the facebook anymore. I just really want to be able to chat with my friends but my parents are so mean. They dont even want the best for me or anything, ive explained everything and they understand. Dont try to talk me out of it, because i am definitely going to make a facebook account, right now. The problem is that obe of the friends i would have, her mother is really good friends with mine and she checks her daughters account. So she would see me and blab to my mother. Also, im going to put it in my own name so i dont think she will know to do this but she could search my name and see that i hav a profile. Oh, this is really tricky, but i hav just had enough. Pls, pls help me. Dont try and talk me out it, cause i wont be persuaded. Just please try and help me figure put how i could keep it from my parents. The making time thing wont be a problem, but i just want to make sure that she doesnt find out. Sorry this is so long and thankyou.

Dunno why you're parents are acting like that. Lol, but anyway.. don't add your friend that knows your mom. Then don't put so many personal information on your facebook account. So if ever your parents would see it, you can tell them that it's not yours. Maybe a poser or something? Because there's no way you can do except for that. If it doesn't work for you, maybe just go with Twitter )

You really shouldn't do things when you're upset...it usually ends badly. I know you said to not try and talk you out of it, but you really shouldn't disobey your parents. You will constantly be sneaking around, always nervous that your parents will see, and if your parents do find out, you will be in big trouble and may never get to have a fb for real until you're 18. Calmly sit your parents down, list the things you've done for a fb, and CALMLY ask them for a fb. Act mature about it. Give them a few days after that because they will need to talk it over. Your parents aren't being mean, and they do want the best for you. Think of it this way, they could be beating you, starving you, neglecting you, or simply not care about you. They don't want you to have a fb because they DO care and love you.

Your parents will need to know your username and password if they want to look on your account, just make an account and keep them a secret plus don't tell you parents you've made one. Also when your talking to your friends keep it simple so if they do get into your account they won't have much to say.

I understand you, but I also understand them too. You have all the rights to socialize, but then they might just be thinking of your safety. I suggest keep on convincing them until they finally get to your side. Tell them it might get useful in case you miss some schoolwork, get in contact with distant family members, or even get associated school events. Anything that sounds nice to the ear.
