It isn't bad. It is only bad if you abuse it.

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.

I think MySpace can be a good site.  Please be smart about it though (to avoid unwanted attention) and do not list your personal information such as last name, address, phone number.  If you are under age talk to your parents to help you create a safe profile.

I dont like myspace.  i think it is a stupid "hip" trend that everyone is following and makes them feel special.  i bet this time next year when everyone will forget all about myspace, there database will be filled with millions of accounts that arnt kept up anymore.

Myspace is VERY addicting.  I love it becuase you can make your space as private or as public as you want. The downside is that you might not know who you are talking to.

It sucks!!! I had it and I accidently deleted everything on it so I just decided to delete the whole thing. I think it was built for adults but teens took over. Plus 75% of the people on their lie about themselves. I no this because there are so many people in my school that are freshmen that say their like 20 so honestly whats the point? You don't really find out about people anyway and a bunch a people have been raped and stuff because of it. Share your info with your friends and forget about MySpace. It's just a place for teens to waste their time anyway because we have nothing else to do but hang out with friends and talk about people with our pathatic lives (lol)!

It's not MYSPACE that is dangerous.  It's the people who post too much information for everyone to read.  At the same time, most that information can be found in a phone book.  The thing about posting it on MYSPACE is a criminal can look at many people in a short amount of time and find their weaknesses...like "my mom and dad grounded me from the phone cuz i wasted all my minutes...i hate them...wish i could run away."  then the predator is like hmmm, i could lure this one away...easy.  ETC.  Just when you post on there, limit who can see what.

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.

In the end, it comes down to parents knowing what their children are doing online and off.  We keep our computer in the kitchen in full view so I can keep tabs on any internet activity.  \n\nI don't think there's a lot Myspace can do, they can't police all the teens using the site, that's up to the parents

Myspace just like the Internet is as bad or good as the user makes it. Depending on the age of the user and the appropriate supervision of a parent, Myspace can be both fun and entertaining. The key as in any use of the Internet is to properly use the tool in an advantageous manner with proper security precautions. It is my belief that the majority of bad experiences on myspace can be traced back to uninvolved parents who did not monitor and control their children's use of the Internet. It is unfortunate that so many parents let their fear of technology keep them from intervening in their children's on-line activities.

quoted from another user:\n\nThis is my new standard format response for questions concerning bypassing blocking software by students at school. First, if you had spent more time studying while you were in school, you wouldn’t have to ask questions about the internet. 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 surfing the net 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.

That means that nobody else cares...\n\nKidding!  MySpace encounters technical problems all the time, just like the rest of us.  :-)

who marked it private?  And what would be dangerous about the site?  My kid isn't allowed on there anymore.  I'd be interested in finding out how to see some of her friends sites because I hear one girl has some pretty bad stuff on her site (such as announcing shes not a virgin, etc).  I don't think her mother really cares though.  She's 13 and her mom lets her date guys that drive.  My daughter isn't friends with her anymore and says she can't access her myspace thing.

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 stuff:\nhttp://forum.myspace.com/index.cfm?fuseaction=messageboard.viewCategory&CategoryID=68

Really, it's like nuclear science. It can be used for great good, and just as great evil. There are pervs on myspace. But, myspace helps you keep in touch with schoolmates and friends quite easily. Make sure not to put your address or phone number on there. Keep personal info to yourself. If you want some people to know, send them a private message. I must say, I'm a hugh myspace fan. Hey send me a message if you want more answers!

I personally don't get the point of all these blog kinda sites. I have a 360 just because I was bored. I have myspace for the one reason of finding friends I have lost touch with (I've found three already.) I have a lot of problems with myspace and I hate it, but it has way more features than 360. Good luck.
