This is an easy one. You don't have to give her your password. Just sit down and have a good conversation with her. One thing that many parents should do more often is talk and "check in" with their kids. At the very least, your mom could allow you to try Myspace for a week and check back with you. I have some questions for you: Do you know why Myspace can be dangerous? There are all kinds of people out there and not all of them have as honorable intentions as you do. Have you used Myspace in a dangerous way in the past, such as giving out personal information over the Internet? Talk with your mom.

Unfortunately, the media proved around that time that a private profile still could be located using Myspace. Police officers were actually locating teen profiles and showing examples at parent safety presentations. I know of one parent who's teen girl's private profile was made an example of during a presentation by a police officer. Also, it is a mom's job to worry about her family and her kids at any given moment during the day. You can tell her that Myspace has adjusted to make teen profiles more confidential, but unfortunately, it will take some time on their end for them to regain her trust again. I recommend to just give it time and do not press the issue. I know it is not what you want to hear, but it took me a while to be convinced to get a Myspace account due to these issues even though I am an adult.

Negotiate with your mom in a reasonable way. No whining or pouting. Offer to let her control the password so she knows when you are logging on and can check your page. Offer to help her set up her own so she can communicate with other home schooling parents. That will help her understand how it works. My Space and Facebook are a scary things to us mothers. As wonderful as it is to be able to talk to so many people, it also allows so many people access to hurt you. After all, would you invite just anyone who drives by your house inside your room? Well, that's essentially what happens on the social networking sites. You don't really know who you are inviting into your computer and your life. If you are mature enough to see it from her view point, you may be able to negotiate something that will work for both of you.

You just blew it by saying you do not want to give her your password. You can't be trusted and she knows it because she knows you. How dare you withhold your password. Who in this world supports you? Who pays the horrendous cost of educating you? You think that the adult (18+) world is going to be lotsa fun? No, because your priorities are wrong, your mother is a protecting parent - how lucky you are. There are hundreds of 12 - 16 year old girls on QA who do nothing but ask questions about how to get a guy, hold a guy, deceive a guy, destroy the life of his g.f. so she can have him, and how to get a guy to stop disrespecting them, hitting them and treating them like dirt. Your mother won't let that happen because your mother IS a mother, not your pal - as are the mother's of the other girls. How silly, a 30 something parent trying to be their kids' "pal." No. It can only be "parent." No other options.
Now go apologize to your mother and give her your password. Maybe when you are 16 she will trust you. Maybe not. Not your choice unless you are TRULY trustworthy. Best.

Your mom is only looking out for you, and she is right. You should not have one, it's much too dangerous. As "grown up" as you might think you are, you really have no clue what kind of animals are out there lurking. You might just say one little thing on there - like the name of a school team, or something, and you can be tracked down. There are a lot of other things you can do with your time, or with your friends.
And don't keep secrets from your mom!

Your mom is protective because she loves you and is doing what every parent should do to protect their children. Also, you don't understand your mom's point of view. It is the LIARS & PERVERTS & DECEPTORS on the internet she doesn't trust. And the best protection she can provide is to keep you off the myspace.
GO HUG YOUR MOTHER TONIGHT. Kiss her and tell her you love her and now understand her reasons. Ask her to set up your new myspace and you are happy for her to set up your password.
COMPROMISE is a wonderful thing. Good Luck

Give her your password. If you aren't doing anything wrong, why can't she see what you write? If you show her (and she WILL check) that you are protected online, then you may convince her you are mature enough not to be preyed on. If you want to do stuff that you wouldn't want her to see, go to a friend's house.

you can't.
even if you give her the password it's not that she doesn't trust you,
it the other possibilities that scare her.
Hang out with your friends like normal, not on the net since she won't let you do that...

If you don't want to give her your password, then I don't think you should have one. If you expect her to trust you, you have to be open enough ease her anxieties. People who have nothing to hide, hide nothing.
