In this article it talks about how children are using Facebook and how it affects them. My opinion of kids and Facebook is that they should not have a Facebook page until they are in middle school, other than that there is no reason for a child to have one.
Now a days teachers also use Facebook as a way to keep teaching out of the classroom, they make a page for their classroom where they post assignments, notes, and last year a teacher of mine had my class turn in an assignment onto Facebook. I think that that is completely fine, but other than that children that are not in middle school have no business in being on Facebook. Not only does it promote cyber bullying, but it can also teach inappropriate things that children that age do not need to know or see.
