Tell him you will put your profile on private...which means you have to accept people to be your friend before they can even see your profile. You can also make it where they have to know your last name or email to ask to be your friend. Theres alot of security things you can do to keep safe! If you only speak to your friends on there I dont see a problem... Your dad will crack eventually!!

Your dad has a point, because MySpace can be dangerous. See if you can set a compromise with him - you can set your MySpace page to a "private" setting, so that only your friends, and the people you invite, can view your page. Promise your dad that you won't communicate with anyone you don't know in real life, and tell him he can view your site from time to time so he knows that you aren't putting anything bad on there.
Don't mention your crush - that's not a good reason for having a MySpace page. If you really like this boy, you can always talk to him at school, in real life.

There are so many pervs on there thats why he wont let you have one. I dont know how you can change his mind. Try talking to your mom maybe she can convince your dad. You can try telling him that at least myspace is free and he doesnt have to buy you anything for your birthday. Tell him your a responsible young adult. OR you could get one of the parents of your friends to talk to him that should work. I guess myspace is great if your a high school teenager older adults just dont see whats so great about it.

He's right. I hate to admit it, but I probably won't be letting my children get a myspace either until I know they have matured enough, the internet is serious just imagine someone seeing you picture and stalking or preying on you, it happens, people you don't even know are looking at you and know how old you are who your friends are, and other information that shouldn't be privy to complete strangers. Trust me you will understand one day.

I have a myspace account, and honestly, I think it's kind of a trashy site, but that's just me. I've seen the people on there and things that are talked about, and I don't communicate on there with really anyone =)

Please respect your father's decision. He is much wiser than you & knows what can & does happen to many who are on that website. Your father loves you very much & doesn't want you to fall victim to weirdos & sexual predators. You can talk to your friends via Yahoo Messenger, if you wish to chat. I know you want to do what your friends do but in this case, I agree with your dad. My oldest granddaughter is 13 y/o & wanted to go on "Myspace" but her parents won't let her either. Her father, my son, is a homicide detective, & he has sadly seen what can happen to young girls wo get on that website & end up talking to the wrong people. People aren't always who they say they are on there. Don't be upset with your dad. Feel good knowing how much he wants to keep you out of harm's way. More dads should be like yours & like my son. ~Happy Birthday~

It not your fault he did that. You and your siblings have been those protecting him up from doing it faster i'm specific. do not blame your mom the two on the grounds that no it is straightforward to desire to of predicted him doing that. Your mom has to do what makes her happy. each and every of the soreness your father develop into feeling is probable relieved now. If he's calling down at you presently, what he could choose is so which you may look once you siblings, and excel in college and take up a profession which will make you happy. only shop your head up, and be attentive to that lifestyles isn't honest nor uncomplicated. attempt to continually be advantageous, you would be very nicely. in case you go with somebody to chat to you may digital mail me. steven_wisen@y

Agree to his rules. Tell him he can monitor your site and when you build his trust then he may back off.
