Facebook is not for kids.
I don't get it. I was talking with my SIL yesterday because her 8 year old neice added her as a friend on facebook. What the heck does an 8-year-old need a facebook account for? As if kids don't have enough screen time with video games, and TV shows, and whatever else, now they're getting FACEBOOK?
Seriously. Ethan asked for one about a year ago, to which I replied "no". And then I asked him why. The answer? Because some of his friends have it. Well, I don't know if their parents have the time to sit over their shoulder and watch them as they cruise the internet, or if they just don't care what kind of messed up shit their kids are going to run into out there, but I think he is way too young. Am I the only parent who feels like this?
