Anyone use MySpace?

(1/1)

Brookenstein:
I just joined and have no 'friends'  :'( so I was curious if anyone else is on there.  Even though there are 48million odd members it seems like 47million of them are under 18.

Bonibelle:
Brooke, Funny you should ask, my friend and I spent quite a long time on
Myspace today in shock. Many of the young girls that our kids are good friends with (middle school 12-13 year olds) have posted pictures, and far too much information on pages that they have created on that site. I am sure that they have no idea of how dangerous that can be. They also use a site called Xanga and link to Myspace. It appears that they are using camera phones and digital cameras to post pictures of friends, many unaware that their images are out in cyberspace, again with far too much information.
For adults, this may be a way to meet people and share information, but what we have found with these kids has blown us out of the water! The problem is, how do we approach the parents? My one friend's daughter posted a lot of bogus information about her age and sexual experience, but too much accurate information about where she goes to school and the activities that she participates in.  Let me know what you think about the info you find on that site. Thanks

Vinny:
My son uses myspace and like Bonibelle I was surprised to see what's on there. Some of the underage girls are showing stuff they really shouldn't and the info they put on there is unbelievable. And you're right, most are young teens.

I don't like it myself but my wife and I are trying to be cool since my son is a good kid. I do monitor things on a once a week basis to keep him honest though.

Ruby:
My daughter just signed up and started using it last week.  I'm not too worried about it considering she's almost 19.

Maybe I'll have her show me how to use it and then I could be your friend!

Anoroc:
Ok, so now my conservative nature will come through.  I never heard of the site until now and so I took a peek and...

I would never allow my daughter access to the site as long as she lived with me.

Topics on sexual orientation, partying, requests to be contacted.  Sorry, but I will probably turn out to be pretty protective of my daughter.  Granted she is only four year old right now.
