ADVICE
Well I am so happy I came across your question. I have a daughter that is 13 as well. As a matter of fact her birthday is today just turned 13. As her mother she has been begging me since last year to have her own myspace page. I told her once she turned 13 she could under these conditions. She could only be on when I was ine room. She could only talk to people or friends that she knows in person. The best thing for you to understand is that as a parent we are obligated to protect our children we love you guys so much. Include your mother make her feel as if she is a part of it, let her help you design your page, let her know that you wont hide anything from her and give her your information when you sign up, so she can monitor it if she is not in the room with you. You have to relize their are so many evil things in this world and the internet can be one of them. People are not always as they seem, and younger pre teen adults are easy targets. You can talk with her, and explain that alot of pre teens are using this site. I know I hear about it all the time from my own daughter. The main thing is make your mom a part of it so she feels comforable with the situation, you will be surprised on how much that will make a differance. Let me know if you have any luck, or have any more questions.

You can try to negotiate with her, but she still has a perfectly good reason to say no. The internet is just not safe.
Anyway, here's a few good points you can make:
**Your profile will be PRIVATE. Therefore, only YOUR approved friends can see it.
**Tell her you won't approve any friends you don't know.
**If you have a mobile phone, say you can message on MySpace instead of running up a huge bill!
**You won't use it to message/comment people you don't know.
**You like it because you can listen to your favourite artists (?) and saves a bit of hassle from downloading the songs and paying money.
**You will under no circumstances put any pictures up she does not approve of.
I hope this helps.
and if it doesn't, I wouldn't sweat it, MySpace gets boring SO quickly!

well just sit down with your mom.and tell her you think you are responsible enough to have one.i mean i got my myspace when i was 12..im 16 now.and my mom actually ended up getting one her self.the thing you dont want to do is hide it from her.i mean tell her she can check it whenever she wants.and youll show her your page and stuff.you want her to trust you!

Well, what I did was give her some good facts about Myspace. Tell her it's safe if you get a private profile and you could tell her that she can check out your myspace sometimes. I hope this helps. =]
