Parents and myspace
Okay, so my parents just found out I have a myspace about two months ago. I'm not supposed to have a myspace. They blamed me for "lying" about it. And I'm aloud to have other websites. I just want them to trust me enough to let me have a myspace. My mom says I'll never get one, but that can't be true. How do I convince them?

Hi,
You didn't say how old you were in your question, so this answer is two-fold. If you are still in grammar school, I as a parent would be concerned. I have children who are in high school and I have seen some of the things on my space.
However, that doesn't mean that it is all bad.
Maybe you can suggest this to your mom. Maybe she'll reconsider if she is allowed to monitor your page and the people that visit it. Another thing you might want to tell her is that you are growing up and she can trust you. Tell her she raised you well and you know right from wrong.
There are so many things to consider. Your mom loves you very much and there are dangerous people out there in cyberland. Predators are all over the news. Try and understand her point of view too.
Take things slow, one step at a time. Maybe she'll come around.
Good luck,

For the longest time my parents wouldn't let me have facebook and their along the same lines.
Just talk calmly to them. Say that you are smart enough to make the right choices. There is a lot of privacy choices for myspace like privatizing profiles (making profiles private) so no one you don't know can see what you're doing. Make sure you don't get mad if they say no. They'll think you're not acting mature and they certainly won't let you have a myspace then.
Hope that helps

Tell your parents to chill, theres nothing wrong with myspace. Tell them your smart enough to not talk to any bad people or even think about meeting up with some stranger from myspace. It's just a website to talk to your friends from school or wherever, just like Facebook.
Hope i helped,
