I am a frequent myspace user because it really is one of the main ways that I keep in contact with my family and friends but everytime I get on and view other pages at least two out of the five pages that I view have negative things on there either about someone or just reffering to someone in general. It's mainly the highschool and middle school kids and I guess some just don't understand how serious some take the myspace thing. There have been alot of bad things happening with teens and myspace. So know that there are kids that have had or are having situations on myspace do you think that young teens should still be allowed on myspace?

Yes. First, you say 2 out of 5. So that means that *3* out of five isn't! Ever notice how the news talks about how bad Myspace is? Have you ever heard of Kate Voogle? She's like the Kelly Clarkson of Myspace. She even had a few appearances on 1 Tree Hill, and the songs she did on the show were her own. This is probably the biggest, positive, sensation on Myspace, but we never hear about that. Here's a personal one for you: I live on the East Coast of the US, and the West Coast is my cousin. Because of the time differences, it can be hard to coordinate times to talk, so we send long Myspace mails. This is how we set up when she came out to my side of the country for last Christmas. Also, this is how I found out she's getting married. Just like anything, there can be bad, and good! Don't let the bad ruin something that can also have a lot of good to it!

This is a really good discussion,and I am sure there are a lot of people out there who like using the internet for social networking sites,and then I am sure there are a lot of people who do not like the internet or do not like social networking sites because they think they are dangerous,or they think that they will cause their computer to get a virus or something,and I can understand why people feel the way they do,because I know a lot of people are paranoid these days,and they think the worst is going to happen,and I am sure that different people think that myspace is good for teens because they think that it is a good place to make friends and keep in touch with friends,and then I am sure there are a lot of people who think it is bad for teens,because they are afraid they are going to try and meet someone and get abducted,personally I think myspace is a good site,and I think it is a good site for teens,because it is a good place to keep up with friends,and meet people,but I think parents should monitor their teens while they use myspace to make sure they are not doing anything that they should not be,and to make sure that they are not trying to meet anyone without their permission and without making sure it is in a public area where it is safe,have a great day,good luck with your life,and all of your mylotting goals,and Happy Posting.
