Pearl's response to....Facebook should be R18

In Glenville we have been writing persuasive arguments. One of our most recent topics has been about Facebook's age restriction being lifted to 18. Pearl has written an excellent argument stating her position. Take a read... WALT: write a detailed structured persuasive argument using the required features. “Facebook should be R18” By law the age to have Facebook is 13 and it should NOT stay like that. So today I'm going to try and convince you that Facebook should be R18. Hopefully by the end of this you would agree with my point of view. Facebook is a timewaster! There’s heaps of strangers that like to mess with people’s minds. You would also experience plenty of drama on Facebook and that leads to cyber bullying. There are heaps of inappropriate things on that website, such as videos of people bullying others, mean comments and private information. Most people give others there private information such as your name, address, date of birth, phone number or school. If you do that then that will basically be putting yourself in serious DANGER! It’s not just me who is against this topic. It’s a matter of fact that tons of pupils from around the world agree with this matter. “ Facebook is like jail, you just sit around, waste time and write personal things on a wall.” Do you really want to put your life at risk? or even someone elses? the answer is definitely ‘NO!’.
