Can you delete your own Facebook account?

Please help...how can I make my 13 yr old delete her facebook account and racy photos?

  • I am pretty strict with her-- She is not allowed to wear short/tight clothing, she doesn't have her own computer, and when she's visiting friends, it's at my house or they are monitored when they go shopping at the mall (Either I or another parent will take them, and then hang around the mall and check on them every 30 minutes). Sleepovers- only allowed if parents are home and with people we have known for 10 years or more. She can go out around the neighborhood, but must come in before dark and have someone with her if she goes more than 2 blocks away. I let her use the family computer one hour per day and two hours on weekends. Anyway, I just found out she has a facebook account with photos of herself in racy, seductive poses, wearing tons of bright lipstick/makeup/heavy eyeliner, and bikinis. Some photos have her shirt pulled down to reveal cleavage, and things like that. She has over 500 friends on the account and most are men / old men she doesn't even know. She has even added some of my friends and family, and it is extremely embarrassing and disgusting. I have already told her she's grounded for a month, cannot use the computer without my supervision, and I lectured her for two hours. I asked her to delete the account and she's refusing to do it. How can I get her to delete the account?

  • Answer:

    First, you are a bit strict. Second, don't make HER do it, report the account on your own facebook, if that gets no action catch her on it MOVE her from the computer (alternatively, hack the account) and delete it yourself. My parents were overly strict on my sister, and to be blunt, she's a drug addict with a kid. They were too busy bailing her out to be so strict on me, and I'm a 19 year old virgin in pharmacy school.

She's doing that cause you're so strict on her, im 15 and can do whatever i want and im pretty good but my friends mom wont let her do anything so she goes behind her back and rebels. this is your fault.

Just go on and delete it!!! I agree that what she did was wrong but you are way to strict about some stuff. I went to the mall by used when I was 11!! She's 13 not 8!!!

WOW...ok i have no choice but to blunt.... You want to know why your child did this??? Quiet simple really. You are to strict & refuse to see her as her age instead of a 5 year old. She's so tied down by all your rules that she feels the only place she has any freedom at all is on face book! When you keep a kid so restricted from everything, all you are doing is making her resent you, which will make her feel like she can't talk to you about anything. I know it's important to be a parent and not always a friend. But there are ways you CAN be BOTH. If you keep this up, wait until she turns 18 and see what happens. She will leave home as fast as she can. It's obvious you aren't doing a great job with keeping communication open with your daughter. You are giving her reason to rebel. From mom to mom I know you want to protect your child as much as possible, but by keeping her sheltered from the world, how is she going to learn about life and make her own mistakes and learn from them?! You need some mother-daughter counseling to make you realize you have to lighten up some and not keep her on such a short leash. If you try to control a child to much, the moment you turn your head they will rebel. Stop with the nonsense and give this kid some freedom. And in return she will start respecting you for trusting her.

"I am pretty strict with her" - Well, strict parents have a lot of common sense, self worth & wisdom. Strict parents do not get online and tell strangers private things about their children. Sit down with your husband and talk about this.

You shouldn't let her use her computer at all (except for homework, but with supervision) and soon she will want to delete her Facebook. It will really be no use to her if she's not on it and she'll get used to not using it as well. Good Luck!
