You shouldn't blame the internet of these teenagers posting inaproiate things. They can go to school looking like a slut and have things said about her cuz of what she looked like. The next thing you all going to say is that these game sites are bad. I play on a game site called www.pogo.com and there are guys in there asking girls if they have a picture. If the girl says yes the guy asked if he can see what she looks like and she can do this by giving him her instant message screen name and send the picture that way or email them a email. They could be emailing an inaproiate picture of themselves. The question is where are the parents? How did they raise their child?
Parents should moderate what they post and say on the internet. They should know who their friends are. Their freinds can get them in this kind of danger too. Let them meet some strange guy that they bararly know and something happens to one or both of the girls. Parents need to talk to their kids about the dangers of posting certain information and what pictures are inaproiate. If someone feels they should post a picture of themself on myspace or a webpage they created by simply using geocities or another website you can make their own webpage then that shows they were brought up to think they need to look cool and have alot of friends by looking "sexy". Parents talk to your teenagers the dangers of posting certain information, posting inaproiate pictures and why its not good to think you need to look "sexy" to have a guy like you. Isn't it whats on the inside that counts? This is why the world is what it is known to be today... Everything a parent does is considered "CHILD ABUSE". If a parent finds something they dont like on their child's myspace, another website, or conversations that are going on then PUT A PASSWORD on your computer and only allow them to be on when they have homework or you sit there to watch them. anyways.. been there done that... take care all!
ps. not all myspace users are trashy... I simply use it to find people from high school, college and other people I know. Its great to meet some cool ppl too. I just watch who I add as a friend. YOu can also get into account settings and have it where your comments have to be approved by you before they are post.
take care all!
