My favorite cousin lives in Washington State, and I live in Connecticut. We only get to go to Washington to visit him, my other cousin, and my grandma like every other year, but this year we didn't get to go. Lately, I've been really upset about it. I cried myself to sleep last night.
The one way I've been able to talk to my cousin is through myspace. I don't have one because my dad doesnt like myspace so i use my friends to talk to him. (yes she gave me permission) and my dad goes crazy with the parental controls on the computer and he BLOCKED MYSPACE. its the only I'm able to talk to him and now I'm even more upset.
It's taking over my life. I already said how I cried myself to sleep, and then right when I woke up this morning, I was thinking of him.
Help please? I don't know what to do.

You should ask your dad if he'll let you use MySpace for keeping in touch with family & he can have full access to your account. That way he can check what's being sent or received, and if you're being honest with him there'll be nothing to hide.

Once upon a time, in a land far, far away, people did crazy things like WRITE LETTERS...PICK UP THE PHONE...I know, it sounds crazy to try to communicate with someone while not in front of a computer screen, but trust me--it's possible. Have you tried talking to your father about wanting to keep in touch with your cousin? I don't see why he would have a problem with it, unless he knows something you don't or something you're not telling us in your question. So talk to your dad first, before you declare your life a disaster area. If he won't let you at least write your cousin, there might be something else going on here.
edit--thumbs up, joe rockhead...damn, sometimes I wish I could type faster. lol

Okay, myspace is kind of a ridiculous way to keep in touch. Ask your mom or dad their phone number and call him. It's not the end of the world if you don't see him. And maybe raise money to go on an airplane and visit him.
Hope my advice helps.

If you Dad is so worried about Myspace, why doesnt he go on with you and he can see what really goes on? Also you can have a myspace id and no one but whom you let in your space can see you ....... he shouldnt be worried if you are responsible enough...... if you do something to make him mistrust you , then he should block it.......but I really think he should let you go on and talk.

I realize that these are so 19th/20th century, but here are some other suggestions:
1) US Mail - It'll take a few days to get to him, but it's reliable and works.
2) Telephone - both landline (19th century) or mobile (20th century). Most people have plans with cheap/unlimited long distance service.
3) Free email service (20th century, like hotmail, yahoo mail, gmail, etc.)

try talking to your dad about setting up a personal chat room where you can "meet" your cousin for conversation.. Or you could always go back to "primitive" means of communication.... snail mail and the telephone but you might explain to him how much money he saves through the computer!

I would find a youth group to join. You sound like you need some REAL friends, and you WILL find them there.
Also, can't you write to him?
And...on more thing, it sounds like you have a crush on him, ( i apologize if I am wrong)...but does your dad have a legitimate excuse for not wanting the 2 of you to have contact??
Sometimes parents do know what they are doing, they just don't take the time to explain THEIR feelings. Work with your dad, he's the one protecting you. And...find a Youth Group @ your local church! Good luck honey!

Don't worry that much, it is a simple matter. Take it as an ordinary issue, at this age. Concentrate in your studies. What your parents doing now is good for you, obey them. Best of luck.

tell your dad that and maybe he will understand and help you think of another way to keep in touch or unblock myspace
