My daughter just turned 17 is trying to find her identity in life. Flirts as a mean to get boys attention and honestly acts likesomeone she is not. I check her MySpace as a means of trying to see where her head is at in life and what to I truly need to worry about. Its just some of the convo she has on there seems sooo far off I wonder if its true or not.

I do not think it is a good Idea to be searching for her in Myspace, anyway you have done and this have generated some doubts about her on you, so what you need to do now is, without declaring what you have seen (to avoid the communication gets broken from the very beginning), ask he questions about her thoughts on this and on that...
I am father, I can understand perfectly what you are going through but it may just be what she thinks it is cool to reflect on what is called "Myspace", as the rest of her school mate and/or friend, remember even at our age is funny to make people to believe we are what we really don’t... So take it just like that, do not rush...
Ask the questions about her thoughts and make yourself sure she do not noticed that you were researching her stuff, because 17 is exactly the age were they feel victims of their parents...
Hope this helps...

Do not underestimate your kids. Most of what they write could be what they have done or what they actually feel. Never let them know you have invaded their privacy. They will remember the insult for the rest of their lives. You could just talk in passing about certain issues very subtly, much later after the posting and not at all in direct reference to her. Do it very carefully and well disguised. But dont do it often or she will suspect you are checking her out on her Myspace. Try to instill reassurance that at some time in your younger days you felt some of those things and now you can laugh at yourself because they seem so shallow and silly and inconsequential in life. If parents identify with the emotions of their teen children, sometimes, they find it easier to talk to you as their mother or father. Good Luck.

Her myspace page is a public representation. She's putting things on there that anyone can look at, so she's likely very selective about what she chooses to say. It makes sense for her to display herself as flirty at seventeen. If you really want to know what's true and what isn't, mention that you saw her page and liked her background, and the next day check it again to see what she's taken off. ;)

i'm 40-one and that i became raised by technique of Atheist mum and dad and under no circumstances observed the Bible no longer to tutor study the Bible as a baby. i got here upon the Lord 16 months in the past and that i think very cheated, because i did not get the prospect to make that determination for myself. So with that being stated, my baby does bypass to church now and again and is taught to love and comprehend the Lord. He does this on his personal because of what he sees in his mum and dad. he's not compelled to bypass yet no longer only does he bypass to church he attends a bible learn youngsters crew at our church on Wednesday nights. Oh Yea! he's 9 years previous. GOD BLESS!!

That site used a great deal by pedophiles trolling for underage girls. Take a closer look at the site, and you'll also see that there's also quite a bit of nudity there as well.
Do yourself a favor, and shut her down.
She'll probably be ticked at you for a bit, but explain that what you're doing is in her best interests, and that it is your job as her parent to safeguard her well-being.

I would say yes what she says is at least 90% true maybe some of it is just trying to "impress" boys etc... but I know teenagers like to make their parents think they are innocent, however 9/10 are not so innocent. you should always have an open relationship with your kids so they feel free to talk to you about things so you dont have to spy on them....

I have done some things my mother would have never suspected of me. I would worry if I was you.
