I was adjusting my personal information and decided that I don't want my birth date to show.

  I went into privacy settings, and also security settings, to see if I could keep contacts from knowing this information; I couldn't find anything related to it, so I changed by birth date info to default (month/day/year). My birth mo. and day disappeared, but my birth year still showed regardless of the change, so I changed it 2013, and now I need a parent's permission to sign into my account !!

  I then got on my other account, which is linked, to see if I could fix the issue but found that if I claim a child's account I have to prove that I am an adult by entering my b-date AND my credit card info to pay for the account before I'm able to access it !   I'm not paying, and I don't EVER enter card numbers on my computer.

So frustrating, and embarrassing; ridiculous. 

   

 Also, was my b-day private to begin with?
