Why is myspace so popular with teens??

Think about it - non-stop socializing, new music, glittery writing, quiz after quiz after quiz after quiz (it's really neverending), easier to talk to guys/girls online than in person, etc.  It's a teenybopper's dream.\n\nI'm not a teen, but I like it because it's a good way to hook up with people I haven't talked to or seen in awhile or people that I don't get to talk to much otherwise.  I also like it because I can upload pictures and keep my friends and family updated about what's going on with me (all for free).  I hate talking on the phone, and prefer to communicate either in person (not convenient) or online (whenever I have a free second).  Also, because I can do all of my emailing, checking out music, etc. in the same place.

Well, a lot of people don't accept people that they don't know on myspace.  So maybe they signed up in hopes of finding people from the past they know or so that others may find them and they just haven't had any luck yet.

I'm addicted to myspace. There are html help sites on the site so you can make your page pretty with use of layouts and codes. Its a great tool to meet new peopel and keep in touch wit the ones you already know. Don't put up trashy pictures.

I have myspace and it is awesome.  I have checked out some of the other sites like livejournal, xanga, friendster and they don't even compare to myspace.  It's easy to use compared to others and you can add sooo much stuff to your site that you can't on others.  You have a much better resource for expressing yourself through myspace.  I have yahoo because I know some people that prefer yahoo and I would like to stay in contact with them.  For each his own, but I think most people like myspace.  This yahoo answers is pretty cool though!

Most teens like to be noticed so they attract as much attention as possible. Also teens mimic, and would do some of the so called hip things their favorite celebrity or other role models do. For some, it's all about fashion and style.

I am very much anti-myspace.  I think it is a complete waste of time, and really just a way to advertise yourself and make new pseudo-friends.  I also agree that it is potentially dangerous hunting grounds for online predators, but the site doesn't allow anybody who claims to be under 16 to post a profile.  Too many of my peers use myspace constantly.  Also, a note to all you parents of teens out there, if you want to find out if your kid is misbehaving, look no further than there myspace profile.  Despite anybody being able to view their profile, many of my classmates post pictures of themselves with booze, scantily clad girlfriends, etc.

It's a good way to communicate with friends and family and the best way to show the world you without having to meet people in person.....If you want someone to know who you are, create a MySpace account, that way you don't have to explain!

shock horror, there are more myspace people on myspace.com and more myspace information on myspace.com!\n\nwhy you all come here to ask myspace questions confuses me especially since they have their own forum dedicated to profile customizing stuff:\nhttp://forum.myspace.com/index.cfm?fuseaction=messageboard.viewCategory&CategoryID=68\n\nand search engines let you search for stuff yourself:\nshock horror, there are more myspace people on myspace.com and more myspace information on myspace.com!\n\nwhy you all come here to ask myspace questions confuses me especially since they have their own forum dedicated to profile customizing stuff:\nhttp://forum.myspace.com/index.cfm?fuseaction=messageboard.viewCategory&CategoryID=68\n\nand search engines let you search for stuff yourself:\nhttp://www.google.co.uk/search?num=100&hl=en&safe=off&q=myspace+codes&btnG=Search&meta=cr%3DcountryUK%7CcountryGB

People I know and bands/organizations that I like (not a lot though--just favorites so I can get information).  I think it's stupid when people whore it up on Myspace.  Who cares if you have 532,971 "friends" if nobody likes you in real life? :-)

i like myspace because it enables me to keep in contact with my old friends from other schools and stuff, and it enables me to keep in contact with my current friends.  \n\nto anyone after me that says "myspace is bad"  and gives no reasons, you are not giving a good opinion.  i think myspace is as bad as you make it.  you are as safe as you let yourself be.  my rules: do not add people you do not know in real life; do not put personal information that can be used to find you on your public profile; and if possible, do not post what school you go to.\n\nas for the people that said it is a fad; you prolly use some other form of the same thing; tagworld, yahoo 360, xanga, livejournal, etc.  \n\nkk now im done :]

Myspace is a site that people can make friends, get in touch with old ones, put up classified ads, advertise your music, etc. Its a fun way to make friends. Some people blame myspace for the recent deaths on young girls. But I say that myspace isnt to blame. Some of these girls are 13-14 and they lie and say they are 18. They also put up slutty pics of themselves. They shouldnt be asking for it. So, yeah....create an account and have fun with it. Its free. I have one and so does about 40,000+ people.

Myspace is a great way for people to reach other people all over the world.  The problem is that EVERYONE can look in on your own little personal world that you display on your page.  Children younger than 16 with a myspace account are automatically private, so that girls that are not yet smart enough to know about internet predators are not taken advantage of.  The other people that DO get taken advantage of are those that think that meeting complete strangers is a proper thing to do.  Myspace is just a site for people to mingle, like a coffee shop with headlines.  If a predator comes into the coffee shop strikes up a conversation with the girl and invites her somewhere private, you can't blame the coffee shop.  It's best to teach the kids about these kinds of things, because that is the only way to gaurantee that they won't meet with someone.

Myspace is best place for friends to keep in touch and to meet new peeps.

Because there are adult pedophiles who try to talk to children like you on that website.  And 13 is the age limit.\n\nYou should spend time learning proper English this summer.\n\nWhy should it matter that you have to be 13 years old to use myspace?  I have a myspace account, and I would like to know the reason why.

because it is the way to keep in contact with others.  it isn't just a "fad"  those who said it is a fad, have some other kind of what to contact people on the internet [tagworld, livejournal, xanga, friendster, etc.]  just because it is more wider, it is having more abuse.  as for popular for teens, SO not true, so many adults are getting myspace and a lot of college aged adults are getting it too.  it is NOT only teens.  people who have never had a myspace account, really have no room to talk.  if anything, i would think xanga and livejournal would be more dangerous, because i use my xanga like a diary, telling about stuff i did during the day [including places]  only three people from my school know ihave a xanga, i don't tell many people about it, because it is my personal diary.  well i think i am done ranting here...
