WALT persuade people on our view of Facebook for people under 13.
I truly believe having a Facebook account is terrible. Facebook is bad, Facebook is awful, Facebook is against the law.
People will post things we should not see. They will type bad language to you. They will put things no one wants to see on your wall. Your friend will think you're rude. They will unfriend you. You will have no one to share things with. The people who unfriend you might tell other people and tell more and more people. Then people you don’t know they will think you’re rude too.
If you have a Facebook you will have no privacy. If you put in your address strangers will come to your house. People might use the information against you. If you take a picture of something in your house and put in your address with it they might go there and take it. Kids that don’t like you might tell other people. Some kids that are are jealous of you might blackmail you with the information.
If you have a Facebook account there might be a change people might block you from your account. While you are blocked they might hack into your account and copy some private things. They might also stalk you. Your enemies might put rumors on your wall while you're blocked. They might put in rumors that is true about you. Some people will think it’s true.
Your friends will turn on you if you have an account. It will only make strangers came to your house. If you get blocked it won't be any good having an account.
