Facebook For Children Under 13

We are learning to persuade people if we should or should not have Facebook. I know that I have learnt this lesson when I can write a persuasive text about why children under 13 should not have Facebook. Here is my persuasive text of why children under 13 should not have Facebook.

I truly, fiercely, enormously believe that having Facebook is not that very good for children under 13. Having Facebook is bad, having Facebook is awful, having Facebook is fearful.

People could bully you on Facebook. If you just logged on Facebook and you see a lot of people from school saying “ Go kill yourself you look too ugly". You might go and commit suicide. Do you want people to say that on your wall about how ugly you are? They can. Did you know that Facebook members have harassed other Facebook members on Facebook, bullying victims are 2 to 9 times more likely to consider committing suicide. Having Facebook is bad, having Facebook is terrible, having Facebook is awful.

People can see all the private stuff you don’t want them to see. If people knew what school you come from then they will try and come and search for you. Would you want people to hunt you down? Facebook is the worst website for children. Children could run away just because they could get hunted down. Did you know that girls are about twice as likely as boys to be victims and perpetrators of cyber bullying, also only 1 in 10 of victims will inform a parent, or a trusted adult of their abuse, 68% of students agree that cyber bullying is a serious problem. I don’t like Facebook, I don’t want Facebook, I wish Facebook didn't exist.

People who are important to you can block you. If you needed to contact someone urgently and you search for their name you might find out that they blocked you for no reason. Do you want people to block you for no reason? They can. Did you know 81% of young people think bullying online is easier to get away with than bullying in person, also about 75% have visited a website bashing another student, another fact is that Nearly 43% of kids have been bullied online, Also 70% of students have report seeing frequent bullying online,    Blocking people is the worst thing. Blocking makes us bad, blocking makes us sad, blocking makes us mad.

This is why I believe that having Facebook is a bad idea. If you do have Facebook people could see private stuff, block you, and they could even be cyber bullying on your page. Do you want that to happen?  Never have Facebook, don’t have Facebook, stop having Facebook
