i have a myspace and I use it all the time. It is a place for friends, but you just have to be careful about who you accept as a friend and how much information you put about yourself onto it.

im 14 ok and this subject always seems to come up alot in my house and in my friends houses.\n\na friend of mine just had to shut hers down because of her parents and i have mixed feelings about it\n\nkids think that its safe because alot of there friends are on it and they dont see the bigger picture \nother people they don't know are on it too\nbut they're oblivious to that fact.\n\nalthough even i think its alright to have one (you can have some special features such as setting your site to privite and only those who you have on your friends list can look at it) i do see where moms are coming from when they dont think its safe.

There should be link somewhere in myspace.com like "Report Abuse" and you can explain your concern. Also you can use "Contact US" link to contact them.

I honestly believe MySpace is so popular because of flirting. If this sounds childish, it is. Not only is it childish, it's dangerous. Numerous child offenders have been found prowling in MySpace.\n\nMany have yet to realize, it is easier to diguise oneself on the Internet than any other place. Any man can learn to type and talk younger, and therewith fool youths into thinking he is one of them. Children, (and I mean 0-17 year olds) want to mature so fast, and parents are letting them. Yet, these children are hardly ready to enter the dangerous world of adults.

There are probably millions of people on MySpace.  What you hear on the news is the bad stuff.  My son's been on MySpace for quite a while.  He doesn't get into trouble on it.  If you're not careful, you can get in trouble.  Those are the ones you hear about on the news.  It's like a lot of things.  If you use it right, it's OK.  If you choose to, you can use it wrong and get in trouble.  The whole internet is that way.

It's a haven because parents don't pay enough attention to what their kids are doing.  Myspace is a haven for all types of criminals looking for cohorts.  I searched through the pages of several people from my step-son's high school after I found him chatting with a guy who was trying to build a bomb.  Some of the girls (ages 14-16) had pictures of themselves posted that were anything but appropriate and they all claimed to be adults.  The dialogs being carried on contained sexual content, drug references, planned assaults on other students, planned explosive "demonstrations", and other inappropriate references.  \n\nMyspace.com requires all its members to be at least 16 but it doesn't check anybody.  I had to remove my step-son twice and it took two weeks each time.  I practically had to get a signed statement from him in order to have him removed but he had unrestrained access to the site simply by signing up online.  They clearly have failed to live up to their responsibility to monitor their own product.\n\nNone of this is intended to diminish the culpability of offenders that use myspace to look for victims.  They are fully responsible for their own actions.  The only upside of myspace is that it also provides law enforcement officers with a place to look for preditors, the downside still outweighs that singular benefit though.

hmm yeh i agree i havn't had a problem with it, i personally think its a good thing i finished high school 4 years ago so people i havnt seen in 4 years i've just started talking to again thro myspace, i think its a good way to keep in touch with people you know, if you dont know someone when you add them to ur friends list you just go into their myspace and read what kind of a person they seem like if they seem to be werid or dirty or something you deny their request, if you add someone that sounds alright and they turn out to be strange you delete them off your list, i'm sorry but i don't understand in so many ways why the internet is that bad i mean i have used it since i was about 12 years old and i had the brains to know that if someone older than me talks to me not to talk back i still  do it, i don't meet people from the internet unless they are connected to a friend of my own that i actully know so i can ask my friend what kind of a person they are if they are a bad person then i won't meet them otherwise i might. I've never been in danger from people on the net because i've never met people from the net and i've never given out personal infomation.

You really shouldn't. Some of those kids that have thought that it would be "cool" to get myspace have gotten tracked down by 40 year old guys who said that they were 13 and gotten killed. If you really think that you are going to just die if you don't get a myspace, at least have responsibility and talk ONLY to people that you really know and trust. More kidnappings and murders are not committed by strangers, but by family friends or non custodial parents. I really, really don't think you should get one, but if you do, I advise you to have VERY strict responsibility with that website. Also, ONLY if your parents find it okay for you to go on that website will it be acceptable for you to join.

Myspace is just another avenue for today's youths to communicate with one another. Yes, it can be a problem, however, it is truly up to you as a parent to monitor what your child may or may not be doing on myspace. \n\nWe have all seen the news reports. It we did not have so many fast a$$ children trying to hook up with every tom dick and harry then myspace wouldn't be receiving all of the hype that it is getting now.

decent, it said this page cannot be found :(\n\nToo bad... I also wondered why nursery rhymes were so depressing.

This is sad and pathetic.\nBeware of sexual predators lurking around sites like this.

Nah it will last a long time... it has a lot of people following it and actually all this press is good for them people that never heard of Myspace have heard of it now... Also, they won't get sued it's not their fault. \n\nEven if some one walked up to you and said I am going to hurt a specific person you aren't required to do anything. It's not your fault someone told you they were going to do something, then did it. Even if you called the police they would probably blow you off....

8-13 and most of them are lying to you. They have their own page but and are being monitored By Yahoo for sexual content, and behavior. It is a really bad problem and Yahoo will end up closing this site most likely because it. Complain there are abuser links under every ones name, and these children don't care because they will be right back with another name in 10 minutes. We have over 1000 names and IP addresses right now and it's only been 3 days.

It sucks ass. It's a pointless site for emo teenagers to meet stalkers and complain about their useless lives before they kill themselves. What's worse, I have so many friends who have one.

I like myspace and personally I think that if you are a younger person, you should have your page set to private. I don't blame myspace for anything that goes on there. They are no different then a dating site. If you are a young girl and you decide to meet an old man, that's your own fault and judgment, same goes with adding people that you don't know. Myspace does not force you to add people to your page or speak and meet with those people, so they should not get blamed!

Its crap.  I remember years ago Friendster, Orkut, Tribe was the 'in' thing.  None were as crazy as MySpace - it just plain sucks.  Too many attention whores on there, blasting their useless information to everyone.
