After high school and not a second before. And they already know and are ok with it.
I know people who have been fired for their facebook/twitter accounts. Screen dumps that were saved even after stuff that could cause problems was deleted. I don't want to compromise my children's school lives by opening them up to bullying. Part of my job in IT training is to teach internet safety and social networking safety.
I don't believe children should have facebook. And I think more schools should be teaching about texting/messaging/social media and the dangers of bullying and how to stop yourself from being a target. Let alone stranger danger and how it could impact your future careers.
Being a member here is a perfect example. If you've ever seen screen dumps, or security breaches as we've seen here before why would teenagers be any better? Scary to think what they would be like given what adults are capable of. It's not the same as when we were kids, so someone would write about you on the toilet wall. You get a marker and it's gone. The internet is forever and this is why it is VERY different. People forget that, and are sucked into a false sense of security.
