One problem is that students create their space on MySpace.Com, but
they sometimes include information on their friends who do not have
accounts with MySpace. So the personal information on students not
directly involved with this site is getting out to everyone. This is
such a dangerous situation.

Is it just the students who feel this pressure? I think adults buy
into that mindset too.
