In response to Becca's Post...
 At the end of Beccas post she asks the question. Do you think that Facebook is appropriate for girls in middle school or should it be limited to a certain age?


Personally I do not think that facebook is an appropriate website for girls or boys in middle school. Although younger and younger generations seem to be use technology daily, it doesn't mean they should have access to it all. 


I feel girls and boys in middle school are developing and since they are so young they run the risk of making a mistake on the internet that might never go away. Since things on the internet seem to circulate very fast, a mistake they make or something they post could really damage them. 


Another thing thats makes it difficult to control what age someone goes virtual is that people lie. It very easy to create an account on any website and lie about your name or birthday. Their is no way to tell if someone is being honest, making it difficult to draw that line of whats acceptable on the internet.


How do you think website can more effectively control the age of it's users??
