Ever since myspace allowed people to make their own lil "whore" space the use of this website has been ridiculous. And then everybody has to have one. Its like a yahoo profile with extras. They are ridicuous. I mean Ive seen 5 questions today alone with people asking " how do i bypass school security to get to Myspace?" Lil hint. You dont, thats why its called a firewall or an ip block or an address.. and ever since the FBI has been cracking down on sites like these with illegal happenings, schools will continue to block them.. So tell me.. what is so great about having a myspace? take some real time and make a real web page..

My space is 1 part voyeurism, 1 part popularity contest, and 1 part pedophile hangout. My space and all personal information websites should be banned from any educational institution. 14 year old kids are not responsible adults.

I agree.\nThe whole kids getting abducted junk is their parents' fault to begin with. If parents paid attention to what their kids were posting on there then none of them would be getting tapped by predators.\nBeyond that there are settings that can be put up to only allow certain access from certain members, but kids are adding hundereds of people to their friend lists they don't even know.\nMySpace is bad for those who do not control their use of it. MySpace it excellent for those who use it for what it was made for.

Anyone can lie about their age, location, name, etc., on Yahoo or any other service.  MySpace is in the news and getting the attention because of the vast amount of users it has.  \n\nMySpace already has some rules in place to protect younger users.  Beyond that, I don't think it's their responsibility to protect people.  On the other hand, who are these parents whose kids are jetting off to different states or countries?!  Are they in a coma? \n\nToo many parents want everyone else to be responsible for their children.  It's a combination of many peoples' naievity in regards to the Internet and the fact that people are NOT keeping a close enough eye on what their kids are doing.

MySpace is YourSpace and you can make it whatever you want. I myself use it for keeping in touch with friends. All of em, the good ones the barely ones, the new and the old. A couple of my friends have used it for dating and have had good experiences, yet I also think it has to do with a lot of the concerns about kids being abducted by a "friend" they meet on MySpace. I remember the internet was just starting to get popular when I was in Jr. High and we had just gotten AOL in our house. There was a big scare atthat time of young grils meeting older men in chatrooms and getting abducted. Nothing has really changed, it's jus now instead of Chatrooms it's MySpace. All I can say is, be careful.

Delete it. That's what I did. Now I have so much free time to do things that I want to do, not being controlled by a website. I know it may be hard because you have like a million friends, but its so worth it. Myspace takes over people's lives, don't let it control yours.

Nope. Myspace is stupid.\n\nThe layout sucks. The site is ugly and hard to navigate. There are tracking ads secretly being put on your computer.\n\nThe place to put your CSS and HTML to customize your profile is in the about me box, no notifications of it except in the help section, either.\n\nThere are too many stupid people. And rapists.\n\nMyspace baaaaad.

Myspace is for losers and pedophiles.  This site is just for losers.  It makes me sick that im even on it.

the news has provided alot of reasons why it isn't safe for those who provide too much information. Girls lie about their age.... you must be 14 to open up an account, do you actually think that 11 and 12 year olds are not on myspacE? they lie about their age just to get onto myspace and join the trend. and sometimes young girls seek out for attention. There are men out there who are lying about their age and perhaps provide fake pictures claiming that thats who they are. The girl and the older man can start a relationship and the girl thinks she has these feelings like he's the one she needs in her life and will meet him. Other teens provide too much iformation ....where they live, what school they go to, where they work at...and so on... \n\nMyspace comments can cause alot of drama also...i've noticed on my friends myspaces they are like talking about someone who i know, saying  that he's gay and so on... saying rude comments when this person is on their friend list.  Blogs allow kids to vent about whats bothering them... and may say things to hurt other people also.  So....what i am saying is that myspace is a way to gossip.\n\nAnother reason to be against it... it allows us to procastinate... seriously, you'll find kids online when they have homework. So many are obessive over myspace usually just wondering what the latest gossip is.\n\nalso, you're suppose to get approval of your friends before you post their picture on your profile... i don't believe everyone actually does. Alot of photos contain underage drunking and drug use... i think that teens think that's cool and want to get a picture of themselves drinking or smoking, just to look cool. \n\nSurveys ask whats ur full name and usually people will provide their full name.... phone numbers are exchanged.... basically myspace is a place that provides too much information....and the rules are not always followed.\n\ngood luck on ur speech.

Thank you for the warning. However, much talk has been going on about MySpace and it hasn't effected many users thoughts on the site. Sickos are everywhere, not only on MySpace, and honestly if someone was to say something like Heyy i'm Mary I live at 123 Chesnut Ave NY then there is something very wrong with them. Thanks for the warning though!

The school has it blocked for a reason, mainly ... THEY DON'T WANT YOU ON MYSPACE DURING SCHOOL HOURS USING SCHOOL COMPUTERS.  Use the computers for the purpose they were intended:  School work.  You might actually learn a thing or two.

A lot of people joined myspace to get themselves "out there" as much as possible, and meet new circles of friends.  \n\nSo far them, that's the whole point, they use myspace like a giant party- exchange phone #s, find out who lives locally and find ppl to hang out with.  Not the safest thing in the world to be sure, but these are ppl who do the exact same thing when they go out!

Are you in spelling and grammar class right now?\n\nThis is my new standard format response for myspace users. First, if you had spent more time studying while you were in school, you wouldn’t have to ask questions about myspace. If you spent more time on your homework and less worrying about why so-and-so has more “internet friends” you might be less concerned with the proxy server bypass that will let you use your schools computer for non-school related activities. When you graduate and get a job so you can afford to buy a computer and pay for internet access I guarantee you myspace will be the least of your concerns. Until said time (if you graduate) quit wasting my tax money by studying myspace more than you study your grammar. Yes, it is my tax money that pays for your education. Chances of you being a prep-school/private school kid and not having one-on-one supervision while you update your myspace is about 4 million to 1. If it really is that important that you have to access it during school hours, why even go to school? Ask mommy and daddy if you can stay home tomorrow and flirt with child predators online. I am sure they won’t mind. Lastly, if this standard format response does not apply to your particular myspace question, oh well, I guess I won’t have you on my top five list, huh?

My daughter is 10 and wants a myspace.  I don't think it is safe for kids because of what they can see even if thier profile is set to private.  And anyone can set up any account and say they are younger than they are.  Yahoo 360 seems to be much cleaner than any of the other one i've seen.

It's not intended to be for kids or perverts only.  It's intended to be a networking site as a way for people to communicate and keep up with one another.  It just happens that it took off for younger people quicker then it did for others.

you can also have no control over it. that website gets more visits than Yahoo does, even google.com, a day it is the #1 visited website in the world. the server is only so big for myspace, and when too many people are on it, the system goes slow.
