so basically i want to get a myspace and want to have my parents permission. ive asked them both to have a "meeting" so i can convince them that i should have one. basically they dont want to hear everyone else has it and i can keep in touch with my old friend.. etc. so im going all out and presenting them with this whole thing of reason why its safe. and how i wont do this yada yada yada ik it seems over board but i really want it. so i came across that you can message people you are not friends with and i wanted to know i there is anyway to block that feature. also if anyone can bring up good "topics" that can help me, those would be apprieciated. any thing that would convince them would be helpful. also if you have info i need proof like internet pages that states these facts would be nice. thank you so much in advance.
-You can make your profile private so only the people you have as friends can see it
-Also you can make your pictures friends only or so no one can see them (except the default one)
-You wont add people who you dont know and wont post personal info.
-Can block people from seeing your profile
-You can also show them yours when you make one like "Ok, look its private when Im not logged in". Also, show them who you have as friends.

You can block someone so I think that will prevent them from sending you messages or contacting you. Tell your parents that it's safe, and if anyone bothers you, you can always block them or make an abuse report or something like that. If you do make a myspace, you can set your page to "friends only" and that means people on your friends list can only view your page, good luck! Make sure if you make one, explore myspace and check out all it's features (I'm sure there are ways to block all sorts of things) [ xeViLxShArPiEx's advice column | Ask xeViLxShArPiEx A Question ]
LaceyIsPrettyBomb answered Sunday July 22 2007, 11:41 pm: You can tell your parents that there is a privacy feature on myspace where you can set your whole page to private so only people on your friends list can see your myspace and your pictures. This can be found on the myspace f&q i believe.
Also, you can tell them that you wont put pictures of yourself up, you wont post your age or your location, things like that. You can tell them that your a smart person, you know not to talk to people you dont know or to meet up with anyone you meet on myspace(as im sure you are smart and wont do that stuff). You could also tell them that they can monitor your mysace. They can read all your comments, messages, all that stuff, whenever they want.. but i'm not sure if you'd want to do that, for like privacy reasons. But it could be sort of a selling point to get you a myspce, if you know what i mean=p [ LaceyIsPrettyBomb's advice column | Ask LaceyIsPrettyBomb A Question ]
