There are many positives and negatives for children under 13 joining Facebok (Pupil guest blog)
There are a number of positive points about children under the age of 13 to use facebook, for example: Positives: -Talk to friends -Keep in touch with long distance relative -Talk about school work -Its safer for them to use the under 13 version rather then the adult version Negative: -People might create fake profiles -Easily influenced by others -Might meet up with strangers -Give out personal information If they create an under 13 facebook that version of facebook will automatically recognise them as under 13 and so will change their privacy settings so that strangers won't be able to look at personal information and photos I think they should create an under 13 facebook this version should include: -Customize background -More games -Parents could authorise what they do -Make it more interesting so they will have something to do I would be worried if my younger brother/sister had facebook because I personally have it myself and I know the dangers that are out there. Children don't tend to think about what they do online and therefore don't know the danger they could get themselves into. Blog by Rahil, Roundhay High School
