Facebook’s 13-and-up age cut-off could soon be a thing of the past. The Wall Street Journal reported Monday that the social media giant is working on plans to let kids use the site with their parents’ supervision. Children accounts would include links between kids’ and their parents’ accounts and requirements that parents approve every friend request and application use.

Loyal Reader Writes: This guy and I have been friends for over a year. In January, we admitted our feelings towards each other. The problem is that he has been in several relationships in the past in which all of them ended up with him being hurt and disappointed.
