Answer 2

SAFE TIPS:

Don't put too much personal information on your page. Too much personal information can mean putting what town you live in, where you go to school, your first and last name, and where you hang out with your friends. The reason you don’t want to put personal information on your Myspace page is because if you do someone who doesn't know you could find you with the information that you have put on Myspace. This could be dangerous.

Avoid drama. Just like in school where people gossip and spread rumors, drama can also happen on Myspace. People can leave others nasty comments, or start groups. Many parents have come into middle and high schools complaining about the stuff that went on through Myspace. Be nice, treat people the way you would want to be treated, and if you don’t have anything nice to say don’t say it at all. Here are some tips to protect yourself from this kind of thing from happening to you. Set your profile settings so that you have to approve of comments before they go on your profile, and if anyone is harassing you- delete them from your friend’s list.

Be smart. Know that you are not anonymous on your Myspace page (even if you don't have your full name on your page, people will know who you are), so if you do something like making fun of your teachers, someone could find out and report you. (Such a said event has actually happened. A teacher in Tennessee had a rumor posted on a pupil's page.)

Protect yourself from Internet predators or harassment by making your profile private. How to make a Myspace profile private: There is a feature on Myspace that allows you to make your profile private so only your friends can see your entire profile. To do this you have to state that you are 15 or younger, and stay 15 or younger because when you say you turn 16, the profile will make itself public again. With your Myspace profile private, only the people that are your friends on Myspace can see your whole profile, which includes your pictures, your comments, your "about me" section, etc. Technically, you're supposed to be 14 to have a Myspace page (even though this isn't being enforced), so Tom (the founder of the site) can delete your profile (or anyone else’s) because you are too young.
Don’t accept friend requests from anyone you do not know. People will try to add themselves as your friend, and you want to set your profile so that you can see who requests to be your friend. You can also make it so that before people can add you that they need to know your last name or email address.

Answer 3

It can be safe if you don't put anything on there that can tell people where you live or how to contact you outside of myspace. Only accept friends who you know in the real world and who do not have any personally identifiable information on their profiles.

Answer 4

Myspace is safe if you take the proper safety percautions.

Instead of letting everyone see your profile, set it to private.
Keep your address and phone number off the site. This will prevent people from stalking you or calling you.
If you have a pitcure of something like a dog or plant, no body will know what you will look like.
Don't post whre you work or attend school.
To prevent someone you don't know from adding you, have people type in your last name or email before they request you.

Good luck & I hope this helps!!
