There's a reason why children under the age of 13 are not allowed to have Facebook profiles.

Hah. I told my son that if he continued to spell like an uneducated fool and abandon all grammar structure on facebook I'd take away his toilet paper and his internet.
Sucks to have parents on facebook when one is 13 I tell ya.
bwahaha! If I was on Facebook I would Like this fosho. Or is fo sho? Nevermind. This is why I'm not on the Facebook.
This is EXACTLY like what being friends with my mother on Facebook would be like!
Which is why when I received her friend request, I stopped using Facebook. :)
ur sooooo mean omg omg!!!
also Wednesday
But I'm dying to know just what that update meant! I am so confused.
Love it! Reminds me of one of my favorite sites: www.failbook.com.
I *TOTALLY* love that you corrected it. The only thing you're missing is the red ink...
This is why I <3 your blog. :)
And yes, I totally proofread this comment before posting it. ;-)
Aaaaaand this is how you win at internet parenting YET AGAIN.
Haha. Being friends with your kids is horrific. I have to hide my daughter's friends' statuses on FB because I cannot stand their drivel. And on one or more occasions, her grandma has commented something to the effect of "do you think you should be saying things like this?" or "change your profile picture for Grandma." It's fabulous on that end.
The only silver lining is that when you want to know ANYTHING about ANYONE in your kid's life, it will be on FB. Kids these days are stoopid.
Just so you know, I just proofread my comment. Let me know if I got something wrong....
I have to just not even try to correct these updates, mostly because half of the time I truly can’t understand the words that are coming out of her fingers.
Also I have to second @Kristin's comment on know what is going on in their lives... Stoopid kids ;-)
*knowing what is going on in their lives*
A) He needs to review spelling of days of the week;
B) Mama gets a gold star for use of semi-colons in FB post;
C) I <3 you big-time for correcting his post.
That is why I INSIST that I am my kids Facebook friends... Public humiliation and sarcastic comments make my life worth living :)
That is awesome.
I'd just really like to know what the status update was about. It sounds bad, but I'm not sure. I lost my ability to speak Thirteenyearold years ago.
LMAO!
I love that he got called "foo".
Also, this makes me so much more secure. I homeschool, and my goal is to not do any worse than the public school system. So far? Systems are a go!
i'm really hoping by the time my son hits 13 in over three years, fb will be gone and not worth it. at least i'm hoping. takes way too much time, no one really interacts, and some of the statuses make my brain feel like jello. it's one more thing i'd have to monitor. but good job yo.
My daughter asked if she could buy short-shorts yesterday. To which I threw my head back and cackled in the middle of the store.
Facebook is completely out of the question.
Too funny! Why Facebook has an age limit of 13 http://t.co/1HiFgwT via @mrlady
My kids are NOT old enough for Facebook yet but the nieces I have that ARE on facebook are SO sorry they accepted my friend request. I try to keep the public ridicule & humiliation to only once or twice a day. After all, they arent MY kids.
Some time ago, I did need to buy a good car for my firm but I did not have enough money and couldn't purchase anything. Thank God my fellow adviced to take the http://bestfinance-blog.com" rel="nofollow">loan from creditors. Therefore, I acted that and was satisfied with my credit loan.

I've taken my 12 year old's phone away for the very same reason. Spell properly, or you lose all rights to technology, foo.
That's cute! Still I am hoping that Facebook would really tighten their service making sure kids aren't lurking around the Facebook world and it's kinda scary to think what could be the things our children posts in it or what could they see on other people posts especially the things that they could be talking about.
Online activities including Facebook could sometimes make one be a bit negligent on grammar and spellings. With Social Networks and IM becoming the order of the day this situation is going to be worst.
