My niece was allowed to get a facebook account at 11 and I must admit I didn't like it. Faceboink is JUST as bad as myspace, filled with pimp wannabees and teenage whorebags. It's not the place for a child that easily influenced.
You can say supervision is the key and that's true but for crying out loud, pick a different headache! http://www.imbee.com is a social network just for kids, that's the kind of headache I will take on when my now 10 year old 'needs' to socialize on the computer. I find kids ask less for facebook though the less they see their Mom on it.
I made one for my daughter when she was born so that I can upload all of her baby pictures on there and some videos so her grandparents can see her grow when they are away, but her profile is totally private, no one but family and friends that were added can see it and I won't allow her to actually use it as her own until she is much older and I will have her user name and password as well. Also, I chose not to display her birth year but I used my birth year for her. I think the age of 10 and up is okay, but it should still be set to private where no one can see anything on her page except for her friends that she has added, I think it's wrong that it's not set to private.
I cant really gove you an answer,but what I can give you is a way to a solution, that is you have to find the anglde that you relate to or peaks your interest. A good paper is one that people get drawn into because it reaches them ln some way.As for me WW11 to me, I think of the holocaust and the effect it had on the survivors, their families and those who stood by and did nothing until it was too late.
