This is the most common option for younger people. "Show only month & day of my birth on my timeline." This is a helpful option if you don't want people knowing exactly how young or old you are. "Don't show my birthday on my timeline." This is a great option if you're tired of getting hundreds of wall posts from people you barely know on your birthday.
   
   It's also a great way to check who your real friends are--how many of your friends would remember your birthday if it weren't for Facebook? , Select this option at the bottom of the window and you will have finished changing your birthday on Facebook.
