Tell her:
1. You don't friend/accept friend requests from anyone you don't know in real life.
2. Your picture is not provocative--it's just of your face.
3. You don't message or otherwise talk to anyone you don't know in real life.
4. You have your profile set to private so that only your friends can see it.
Then, make sure to follow all of those rules.

Well i am 14 almost 15 and i asked my mom for a myspace about 7 months ago. She was the same way. I told her it was a great way to stay in touch with friends that are moving or that i met at camp. She laid down rules that i have to follow and if i dont follow them then my mypsace gets taken away.
the rules were...
1. no talking to people you don't know
2. keeping it set to private
3. not saying what city you live in
4. not a exact picture of myself. [[as in i can i have a picture of myself but it cant show all my features. so i use photoshop on my pics.]]
5. no talking bad aobut teachers and or cussing on myspace.
I also had one of my best friends come to my house and show my parents her myspace site to get them to actually see what the site was like and not just what it says on the news.
I hope this helps and good luck.

tell her you won't put anything personal
on it. like a picture, school, last name,
school logo, and hometown/phone number!
i'm 14, i was able to have a myspace when
i was 12 but my mom made sure that i didnt
have anything like that on it & i was fine.
and i totally think your ready for one,
because DUH- your 14 ;]]
just be safe and dont talk to stalkerish ppl.
you know the deal :]

tell your mom what you can do to keep yourself safe
say you wont put your location, school,last name, etc.
tell her youll make it private and wont add people unless they PERSONALLY know you.
and if your willing tell her she can check it once in a while..
hope i helped

well, i have a myspace and im 15 when i got it i didnt even ask my mom but later on she asked if i had one and i said yes mine is set to private, so only my friends can see mine maybe if you tell your mom that you will make yours private so no rapists or whatever can look at yours that will make her feel more comfortable with it. also theres a setting so that if someone friend requests you they have to know your last name. so even if someone you didnt know wanted to friend request you they couldnt.
hope i helped
