... Myspace Options

[oohsteph]

So I know a lot of you must have myspaces. I don't have one. I've been questioning for a long time whether or not to actually get one. I want one, just because everyone else does... but that doesn't seem like a valid enough reason. There are definatly more cons than pros to getting one.

First off, I wouldn't have any friends. Second, I heard that it's really 'sketchy' how old men try to add young girls as friends. So I don't know.

Any words of wisdom??

Okay, myspace is not bad. It's the stupid young girls (no offense) that do stupid things like add old men and meet up with people from online and the stupid parents for not knowing any of this and letting their children get on myspace when there is an age limit.

For people within age limit, there should be enough common sense in them to avoid old men.

Personally, there has been no disgusting old men that have added me. Hardly any strangers added me because I don't add people I don't know. Not even one.

There are way more pros than cons for me. I get to talk to people I haven't seen for a long time and get to know some more people. Myspace is meant for good, it's just that so many people join, there are some stupid people that manage to ruin the real fun.

I agree 100%. All that crap on the news is just what the "news" wants to put out for publicity. I'm sure there are plenty of other sites where kids have hooked up with old men and been molested and what not, but you don't hear about those. The "news" just picks on MySpace because it's a popular teenage fad and they know they'll draw attention that way. If you're not a dumbass, you won't have any problem.

And all those girls on the news are idiots. Why would you even try to meet up with someone alone that's twice your age? Idiot, idiot, idiot. And for the girls who are molested who don't try to meet up with the men, but are tracked down by them, it's still partially their fault. Don't "add" strangers or someone who's twice your age. Simple.

Anyway, MySpace is fun and I love it. If you do get one, kiss your summer vacation goodbye, cause you'll be hooked for a month or two, haha. And I guarantee that you know at least 20 people who have a MySpace if you look for them. Nearly everyone at my school has a MySpace.
