1) I didnt, she found out when my sis tried to make one >_<
2) As far as Im aware, there isnt anyway of getting around it.
Aside from, you know, saying "okay I deleted it"?

You could also go the "I know way more about this Internet stuff than you" route, and set up webmail and a website, assuming you know how.

I love how completely clueless some of the older generations are when it comes to the internet. It's a result of the media and their scare tactics I tell ya. My parents are very similar, but I put them straight I do.

What you fail to understand, wedgie, is that computers are boxes filled with ghosts.

Your mom is being irrationally paranoid. Facebook, when used properly, is probably the safest social networking site on the internet.

Oh, well, yeah, by far. Does your mom not understand that?

ive never understood why people have troubling hiding stuff on the internet from their parents.
I feel the top of the roof come off, kill everybody there as I'm watching all the stars burn out, trying to pretend that I care.

But I didn't, no-one ever does, and I would, no-one ever will

Can't you see it's all flown out of my hands and our clothes are all too often ripped and our teeth are all too often gnashed and it lasts as long as it possibly can but I just don't accept this.

I just don't accept this at all.

Faces sweaty, arms and legs, what a glorious set of stairs we make.

We kill everyone with arrowheads, arrowheads, arrowheads. Thank god that's over.

Or a GAY-porn site, which makes it even worse.
