Myspace parent issues?

Hey guys!

My dad recently made it so that my family has wireless internet that is really fast, and before we had REALLY slow internet. I didn't even bother with trying to do myspace before, but now it would be really fun since the internet is fast. The problem is, my mom is VERY overprotective and overreactive, and my dad knows everything about computers, so I'm trying to figure out the best way to ask them if I can start an account. I just want to have good smart arguments and persuasions before I ask!

Any help will be GREATLY appreciated!

God Bless

well good for you girl........ going about it in a good healthy way, instead of sneaking around then come whining when you get into trouble cuz you did the wrong thing...........

As for what to do, depending on your age, and it sounds like your a very smart girl...... Just have a discussion with them, ask them what your allowed to post, not to post, etc...... what information you can or can't share, and by the way dad, you know you can access it anytime. you could throw that out there......... hehehehe

How about just make an account? Myspace isn't a big deal; however, you need to be careful and not talk to people you do not know online. Oh and of course, never give out your last name, address, or phone number. If you must ask your parents just tell them you know not to give out any of your private information to anyone and you only want an account to keep in touch with your local friends. They should be fine with it.

Well your parents are right to be protective. To be honest with you myspace isn't really a great site. I know everyone has one, blah, blah, blah. So did over 29,000 registered sex offenders too.

If you have to have one...you can set it up to where only your friends can see your profile. Your best bet is also to allow your parents to have access to the account so that they can check in on you too. I know it isn't ideal, but some times you have to meet them halfway.

Myspace is overrated.

Tell them you want one. Make sure you let them know you will be COMPLETELY open with it, so they can look at it anytime, close it anytime, in fact, if it works, that you won't even use it in private but only where the computer is open to everyone. There really is no need to fear Myspace as long as you don't plan to physically meet people from it, which would be the height of stupidity for any young person. You don't even have to put what city/state you are in. Tell them you would tell them immediately if anyone/stranger tried to do anything beyond just use the website as intended. You can even make it private so only people YOU invite can join you, but that sort of takes some of the "fun" out of it. Personally, I get next to nothing out of it, but I guess it might be fun for young people.

Myspace isn't nasty or anything. They don't even allow artistic nudity.

You can set your account to private, so random weirdos can't look at your pictures w/o your permission.

Tell them you know not to give out any personal info about yourself that could be used to figure out where you live.

You could also agree not to use the chat feature to meet new people.

You need to be honest about what you are going to do with it and show them that you are responsible with everything in your life that way your mum will have confidence in your judement when you have to deal with issues that come up on the internet and if there is a problem be honest with your parents if you hide nothing from them, their more likely to trust you with it.

Tell your parents that they can have your password and that you will set your profile to private so only your friends list can see your profile. Give them permission to monitor your profile content, friend requests, messages, and comments. The internet is a huge place, you shouldn't be doing things on there that you wouldn't want anyone to see. Keep your secret conversations with your friends for the phone and in school.

You should just ask them..let them know that they can view your myspace and tell them you'll put it on private so that no one you aren't friends with can contact you. It's not really a big deal..and if they say no, tell them that you'll be really safe, heck, tell them they can make one and keep track of your friends to make sure they aren't people you don't know in person.

You need to make sure that your safe, don't contact people you don't know, if someone you don't know msgs you, delete the message.

I think that you should ask them if you have one and if they start saying that bad things happen and stuff like that tell the that you can set it on private and that if someone wants to be your friend that you have to approve it and that you wont talk to anybody that you don't know.

Actually my parents are like that too and parents have reasons to be overprotective and if they say no again than don't bother because they don't want anything to happen to you. My parents wont let me have one and i still don't. They hear about what happened and we don't so they know more.
