I have a 13 year old daughter. All of the people she knows at school have MySpace pages. She does not. It is possible to set MySpace up in a private manner that is relatively safe, as long as you are also paying attention. I recommend reading MySpace Unraveled, by Anne Collier and Larry Magid, However, the reason my daughter is not on MySpace is that I did not want her to think it is okay to lie about her age just because she wants to do something that is technically or legally only for older individuals. I personally think this is an important lesson for teens. Nancy -- Nancy Willard, M.S., J.D.
