How can I deactivate my Facebook account?

I have been trying for YEARS to activate my FACEBOOK account. I finally was able to have them stop forwarding emails for me. Then in a few months they would start again.
I was told to go to MY account on the home page. I don't see account anywhere on my homepage.
*As I have said before Facebook is like the MAFIA once your are in they never let you go. ..and I can't even shoot facebook! LOL!

I Dont Think you can Delete your Facebook Account,but You can However De-Activate it and Let Nobody See your account again...To Do So,You Must Go to Account Settings>Security>De-Activate your Account(The Last Option Under "Active Sessions")
