I have a friend request from one of DS's friends. He's a 10 year old boy, why is he even on facebook? By the looks of his friends list, most of year 5 and 6 at their school is on too.

Is this the done thing for kids now?

A 10 year old isnt even allowed to be on facebook, they must have lied about their date of birth. You have to be 13 (unless the rules have changed?).

I'm not on FB anymore but when I was I added my niece at her request (she's 12) and from then on was forever having to 'edit' myself for her sake! Not that it was her fault, bless her. But no, YANBU.

I have had several requests from friend's children (teenagers) and I have politely just ignored, and when they have mentioned it, I have denied getting their requests, or saying....oh I do not go on that much, I did not realise you have requested, I will take a look next time I am on. And continue ignoring!
