myspace

In past months, the social networking site myspace.com has been partially blamed for teens connecting to adults much older than them. Five days ago, it happened again. Myspace and other social networking sites available on the internet as sites where people are able to post profiles of themselves including likes, dislikes, photos and more. Myspace in particular is said to be specifically for teens, but adults use the site as well, and this is often where people believe the trouble starts. However, some believe that these sites are the "hot new" thing now but will eventually be phased out when the newest, hottest thing emerges.

Do you think myspace should have some type of controls to help lower or stop some of the online predators from striking or do you think these types of social networking sites will eventually disappear anyway? For teen safety on the internet, check out links from our website
