ok so ALL of my have a myspace but my parents won't let me!! all my friends have it set on private and i feel like i'm being left out with not having one. I don't think my parents know you can set it to private but i'm 14 almost 15 (REALLY soon) so do you think its unfair that i'm not allowed to have a myspace??

Myspace is a breeding ground for trouble. If you want to talk with your friends, do so in "real" life or on the phone. I have a 15 y/o and she is not allowed on myspace either. Your parents love you, that is why they are trying to protect you.

Haha I Just Deleted My Myspace Yesterday. Myspace is A Cool Place To Talk To Your Friends But You Can Do That On AIM Or An Instant Messenger.Myspace USE to be so fun In Some Way But Now It's So Dull. Trust Me Myspace Watses SO Much Time. Now Since I've Deleted Mine I ave Much More Time To Do Things And If U Wanna Talk To Ur Friends Just Ask For Their Number Or Istant Messeger Screename.
Hope This Is A Good Reason,

No it's not unfair because I tell my son all the time my rules are my rules. While your friends parents have cetain morals, and rules your parents have different morals and rules. I know that your upset but your not grown, your parents pay the bill, bought the computer, internet service, and the computer desk and chair, when you can pay for all of those items yourself then you won't need to ask your parents permission, let alone set your myspace profile on private. Alot of times it's not always cool to be with the in crowd. I basically think your parents are trying to protect you from the nasty people preying on children in your age range. Myspace is not all that, all your doing is putting your personal pictures, and business out to people in the world you never know who's hacking that information, or investigating you waiting for a chance to get you at a weak moment.

Can't you just email or instant message or talk on the phone? Myspace is really very dangerous for kids.....you just don't even realize how many freaks are out there. It is SO easy for them to figure out who you are and where you live, even if you are being a good girl online. They are predators, stalking young girls....really, it sounds so dramatic, but it's a BIG problem...a real problem. You are SO LUCKY to have parents that care about you. There are a lot of kids who's parents don't care and don't bother paying attention to what they do. Try to trade places with them....if you had a great daughter, would you let her use something where you KNEW the freaks were actively trying to find out who she was so they could say disgusting things to her and possibly try and harm her? What seems unfair to you now at age 15 won't matter to you a bit in 2 years. I promise!

I know that right now the "cool" thing to do is to be on myspace. Right now there are so many problems with older people contacting younger people, people posting horrible comments, selling drugs and doing other horribly illegal things (and for thoese of you out there that dont know about the drugs if you read between the lines you will see that its happening). Thats why I got rid of my account and called it quits over a year ago. I dont want to be involved in the illegal happenings that are going on. Instead of being able to talk to my friends and keep in touch with people I care about I was getting random messages from strangers and everything else. I DID have it on private too and these jerks still found a way to get through. I know that right now you want to do what your friends are doing and I know that you feel left out. You should talk to them and tell them how it makes you feel and make sure that you have time to talk to them via im or by phone. Your parents are looking out for your best interest. It may be that your friends parents dont truly understand the things that are going on on that web page and thus dont realize what their children are doing. When you get older you will thank your parents for looking out for you. There is plenty of time for boys and the internet when you get older. I know this is not the answer you want, but Im sorry its the one I have to give you. Its for your own good.

Really, myspace is not that great. It's also not for young teens. Even if you are set to private, hackers can still mess with you. There is a lot of innappropriate material on myspace that kids your age should not be a part of.
In other words, listen to your parents. They love you and know what is best for you.

Ok I understand that you want a myspace, it is cool and a lot of fun. But what your parents hear is all the negative things about myspace on the news. Talk to your parents, show them myspace, let them know that you will be only talking to people that you know - PLEASE dont talk to strangers, show them the private setting, have them join and be one of your friends - next thing that you know they will be addicted to myspace too. My daughter who is now 18 talked me into getting a myspace 2 years ago, I have found lots of high school friends, old co-workers and relatives, I think it is better them email, hey I think it is great. Let them know all the good things about myspace and show them that it can be safe too.
Good luck, if you have to get desperate, let them know your password so they can keep tabs on your myspace

I am 16 years old and have had a myspace for the past year or so. There are some pretty crazy people on there. I have my profile private, though, so nobody can view my information and pictures unless they are on my friend's list. Also, if you do get it , don't put your location and everything. It's probably not the safest thing to do.

sweetie your parents are just worried about your safety im 19 i have myspace and your not missing out on much all it is is an email account and if you feel like you really need it sit down and have an adult conversation with your parents tell them that you can have it as private so noone can see your profile and tell them you will give them your login name and password if they feel like they need it thats how i got my way at 14 but remember there are alot of ppl that have the wrong intentions and you have to be careful and thats what your parents are affraid of im sure

Did you try to show them how it can be set on private? If not maybe ask them if you can show them that setting it on private can make it safer. They may have other reasons besides not wanting to have weirdos looking at your pictures. Try to talk calmly with them stating why you would like a myspace. Maybe after you let them know your intentions on using it and showing them its safe they will change their minds.
