What should be the minimum age for someone to join a social networking site for college students in the U.S? Should it be 17 or 18, and why?

17 because many high school students are ACCEPTED into college at that age. As soon as they're accepted, they'll want to join your site and start making friends.

I think it largely would depend on the person. Some questions you might think about: Are they responsible enough to handle this networking or are they the type that just wants to grab and run and cause others on the network a lot of trouble? At least, if you choose age 18, you would not have to be responsible for any unacceptable outcome.

Out of those two ages, I would say 17 because I know plenty of people from my college who were 17 when they first got there. Thus they should not be restricted from joining a social networking site for college students just because they are not 18, which is generally the age people are when starting out college.

I personally feel that is should just depend on WHEN you get in to college. Maybe instead of having to provide a birthday to prove eligibility, put in some sort of student I.D. or something. It is very simple to make an account using a fake birthday, I see many people doing it on sites like facebook and myspace.

I think the age should be the age you begin college, and this would be a good way to decide that. This would also help keep the level of "creeps" off of the site, and it might just reduce a little of the threat generated by social networking sites!

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.
