How can I convince my parents to let me have a facebook?

They think that something bad will happen to me if I have one and I have been trying to tell them that it is safer than myspace. Any ideas on how to convince them, besides 'everyone has one!' (that never works) ?How can I convince my parents to let me have a facebook?
telling them anything about myspace prob wont help. just tell them you wont add//accept anyone you don't know and wont write a lot of information on you even say you wont post any bad pictures and you will be mature about it.How can I convince my parents to let me have a facebook?
omg dude i have the same EXACT problem...





i always try:





everybody has one


i wont put any information about myself


i wont put any pictures of me


i will make my page private





... it never works!! lol
facebook isn't really THAT cool.





but if you really want one, I don't see the big deal.. facebook is like 99% safe if you're smart about it. Put everything on private then nobody can see anything unless you add them as a friend.





If my statistic that I made up doesn't work, show them this post and tell them they have my permission ;] lol
say its less dangerous then myspace
