While I do wholeheartedly agree that your online self should be an alternate, detached persona, for someone underaged, falsifying information on an account on FB is against their TOS. Their entire business model is selling data about the "real you."
I don't have children, and as a 20-something I know the struggle and seeming impossibility of avoiding FB products, but I try to avoid pouring my whole identity into them. It's rough when the social culture is rapidly shifting to "unless you put everything online you're not worth my time" or makes you one of those "privacy nuts."
Sure I completely agree but these streaming personas are a business to some people and you might wake up one morning to the Facebook ban-hammer. Repeating the mistakes od depending on 3rd party services for a business model.
