Because a lot of people seem confused about it, and since I've been using it since december last year, I know how to do most things. Also, I'm bored.
Account differences - There are two types of accounts: adult and child. It's better if you choose adult, since you will be given ability to edit your account however you want, whereas a child account needs an adult account to edit it, and give it any ability.
Friends - When you log into a child account and go to the "Friends" section, you'll see this message:
It'll say you can't play online multiplayer. This does NOT mean servers - it means you cannot play with any xbox live friends you have. Although, you can't add friends using a child account. But you can still go on servers, despite this message.
How to sign out -
