If you knew that you were not allowed to have a myspace and you went behind their backs and did it anyway then you have caused them to lose trust in you. They are thinking that if you lied and hid that then what else are you hiding and lying about. You may not be hiding anything but what have you shown them to prove that you are open and honest? You haven't, you hid a myspace and that was all that it took. Now you have to try to gain that trust back. I would suggest helping around the house more than you usually do. Learn how to do the laundry and help there. Vacuum without being asked. Offer to do the dishes after supper. When you show that you are taking more responsibility then they will treat you accordingly. Most of all let your parents know that you did wrong by hiding this from them and that in the future you will not. If they say no then that means no.

Part of me would say yes and part of me would say no...lol
The yes part is that who uses the net herself. The no part is that of which knows of the scary people who are out there!
But I think their reaction is based on all the sexual predators who have been luring kids from Myspace, it doesn't seem to be a very safe website and allows young children to access it. People post things on there that they don't believe is harmful but really can make a sick person try to find you.
Perhaps you just need to sit and talk with your parents and find out why they are really reacting in such a way, maybe you can make a compromise about the internet, so they don't feel as threatened and scared

It depends. Is the rule in your house no myspace and you broke it. If so, then the punishment is okay because you broke your word. If no rule was in place, then some punishment should be given ( some myspace can be dangerous), and an agreement reached as to whether you can use it or not.

You need to sit down with your parents and ask them why they are so concerned about myspace is it because they are unsure of what you do and who might influence you when you are on there, offer to show them what it is all about

you can blame all the crazy lunatics who prey on young girls on the internet.. and all the things we hear on the news.
your parents are being protective -- i can't say whether this is over-reacting or not, because i don't know your situation.
maybe find another hobby?
take care

Then i improve into mad through fact it looked like she wasn't rather bi, she in simple terms placed it up there to sound cool - intrigue adult men or regardless of. we do no longer likely communicate approximately it anymore- she married a guy, had slightly one, and is now getting a divorce. I in simple terms choose her to be genuine to herself and be comfortable adequate to talk to me and something of the family contributors. no ought to conceal who you're. I even advised her i'm involved in women (which i'm!). She does not sense comfortable speaking approximately it in any respect, under any context.

sometimes young adult seems wrong to there parents, but parents always wanted there kids to go on the best way to life,, if you want to solve your problem talk to your parents, not to be very strict,, sometimes it may cause anger and misunderstanding...
just talk to them what you fell,,, and be sorry of what you've done,, just trust your parents of what they want you to do and they will trust you also..
