DD is 11 (August baby) so nearly a yr younger than some others in her year but obviously none of them are 13.

She goes up to senior school in September. Most of her mates have FB and working within the school environment I know how much hassle it causes and have told all my kids they have to wait until they are 13 to have a FB account.

Her 13 yr old brother had to wait (although he is a September baby).

DD's (12 yr old) friend has taken a load of pictures of DD and her 9 yr old brother at school in uniform clearly identifying which school they go to and has plastered them all over her FB naming them both.

AIBU to feel really pissed off and Angry about this as I hate them having pictures with their uniform on FB as its bloody dangerous.

Or should I just chill out?! Confused

a few of my sons friends have FB, he isnt bothered thankfully, ive told mine they can have it when they are 16! I get a lot of requests from his friends as I am friends with thier parents, I decline and block!

Having seen a foul-mouthed and abusive message that one of the girls in DD1's class put on one of their "friends" wall :( (they are just leaving year 6) I agree with you OP

I don't thiink an 11 year old should have to put up with that and they are clearly not mature enough to handle the responsibility

So no, YANBU
