I think that your daughter is very responsible and u think to little of her and you should give her alittle bite of space \n\nparents are always worried but your daughter is probubly very cool and muchure..........and i think that since she is so great that you should let her have anything she wants and take her to the Bahamas every day .....and well i cant think or anything \n\noh yeah and some milk shakes i would love some mily shakes i mean she would every kid does you know what i am saying....\n\nhave a good one and let your daughter do what she wants for the rest of the day and\n\n\n\nshe needs some glue for her project \nso do u have any

to the person above.  you can not change your age to 14 without risking your profile getting deleted [this was a warning given out by mygen myspace editor, because a lot of people were getting their pages delete for that very reason].  i would tell your cousin to let tom's team [not really tom] to delete both accounts.  making a new one would be easy + she can make sure that her profile is more safe.

replace every instance of "myspace" with "AIM" in the below letter....\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?

well you can use a firewall which will block yahoo messenger or some im client such as msn messenger..as regarding blocking access to myspace try getting a parental website block software in which you can blacklist the sites you don't want her to visit...i am sorry i could not give you more specific information but I have no experience with website blocking software..this link can help as regarding blocking msn messanger \n\nhttp://support.kerio.com/index.php?_m=knowledgebase&_a=viewarticle&kbarticleid=366&nav=0,2

This is straight from the MySpace FAQ:\n\nQ. Where do I report Inappropriate Content?\n\nA. If there is something on the profile itself that is inappropriate, look at the bottom of the profile and click on the link 'Report Inappropriate Content'.\n\nIf the content is an image uploaded to the user's image gallery, click on the 'Report this Image' link that is under the image.\n\nThanks for helping keep MySpace a fun place to be!

The best thing to do if and when you encounter such a situation is simply ignore them... 99.9% of the time they will soon leave you alone. Remember, you can always remove the person from your Friend List (they will then no longer be able to add Comments to your Profile page), delete any Comments they leave on your Profile page, and you can even delete any messages they send you via the MySpace Mail system without opening them. By NOT responding to offending user (i.e., NOT giving them any attention, NOT letting them get a "rise" out of you), most people will simply go away. \nYou may also view their profile and click "Block User", which will prevent them from contacting you. Annoying people get bored very fast when you don't allow them to annoy you.\n\nIf it doesn't stop contact myspace customer service they will help you!!! \n\nGood Luck!!!

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.

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.

The info is on her myspace page.

You could use a yahoo 360 page with strict parental controls so only people who know his email address can ask for permission to see his page, I am in the same situation with my 11 year old. We have an agreement that I'm added as a friend so I can see who she is adding.

Yes, you should be concerned. There are a lot of predators who look for their next victim on Myspace.

Try to remember how you felt at age 12.\n\nShe's still a little girl in a lot of ways, but she's in the nether-world of the teenage years.\n\nDrop expecations and build trust. It's important to try to continue to communicate with her. Encourage her, and tell her you love her. \n\nThis is the start of the transition from child to friend - if that is how you look at it, hopefully you'll see the path to take to build friendship with your daughter.\n\nAlso, she actually really needs a dad (not sure if you're dad or mom) and a strong positive male influence in her life. She needs a healthy, trusting friendship with her father to establish healthy non-destructive relationships with men later in life.

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.

Are you referring to the website "My Space"?  If so, I think it's good, except for the fact that there is no way currently to filter out children being able to access the site.  While it's great that people can log in and have their friends, blogs, etc., there is a lot of content that I wouldn't want my 9 year old seeing!!  I definitely monitor ALL of the internet access that she uses, but I know that there are other children out there, unsupervised that see this stuff.  There are also predators out there who focus on these kids and that's another problem.

Keep the lines of communication open.  Be purposeful but be certain not to judge.  Yes - God yes! - it's her age... 13-14 are the worst for girls.

There were some laws passed a couple of years ago about storing information about children under the age of 13. This pretty much rules out anyone under 13 from belonging to sites like MySpace and other networking sites.
