You probably hear it from your pre-teen all the time. You might even briefly consider caving and letting your teen have a social media account, with restrictions and monitoring of course.

But Jaci Russo, a social media expert, tells us why age 13 is important for social media accounts. Her saying is always "your house, your rules," but she strongly discourages parents from allowing their pre-teens to get on social media in order to keep them safe from predators, bullying, and other behaviors they may not be mature enough for yet.

She also warns against multi-player games like Fortnite that allow kids to interact with strangers who could be dangerous predators.
