I had to check the date stamp to see if I wrote this! My teen nephews told me the same thing. None of their friends are on it. It’s like MySpace to them

27, the age I was when I signed up.

I’d say 38 is the appropriate age. Kids don’t use FB.

OP here, my cousin let her son sign up at 11 and I think that is inappropriate and too young.

Kids don’t do Facebook.

Lots of college students still have Facebook accounts for groups. They use it for group projects or club activities.

Forpersonal pages, they use instagram and snapchat.

My teen nephews aren’t even on FB—it’s for olds like us.

13 is the legal minimum but there's really no reason before 18. My kids say it's for old people anyway

Never. All downside. Stupid time sink.

You can wait until 13 - your kid won't even want one then -- I have two teens - one doesn't have a facebook account (he's 14). My 17 year old has one to participate in a group that uses facebook but he only uses it for that -they all use instagram or snapchat or whatever -facebook is for us adults!

What age would you or did you allow your child to get a Facebook account? The TOS says 13.
