As long as your not a complete idiot, Your safe online. The problem is 70% of people are idiots mainly with there information. Dont add random people on myspace, and if the person is old enough to be your parent, block them, people seem to forget myspace has a block button... For example, to hot girls sent me myspace requests today, both I didnt know. Instead of saying there hot and adding them, I read there profile, looked at pics, and also looked at comments to see if they knew my friends, turns out both were friends with my friends so I accepted them. If your adding someone to myspace who you have never seen and picutes/profile just dont match up, and they dont know anyone you do, they dont hit accept. Simple as that
I didn't read ANYTHING after this post. But I would like to let you know, that this little story right here, is actually a story created about 6 years ago when AIM was just coming around. My Grandma showed me this a LONG time ago, trying to scare me, and it didn't work, and this whole thing doesn't scare me. I would like to let everyone know though, that Myspace is a gay piece of ---- that sucks its mothers balls and moans like a German midget watching it's gay fathers masturbate together .
This is why you set your profile to private, only add the people you know, and when you sign up put false information such as "I live on 12345 happy sunshine lane" It's sad that some of these girls are dumb enough to but all their personal information on there and think no one will see it.
It all boils down to this: if you're an idiot, don't go on MySpace. If you plan on posting "I attend x high school, I'm going to Starbucks Friday with y, and I live in z, (state)," why not just start wearing t-shirts loudly proclaiming your social security number, credit card number, etc.? If you know how to do it (not using last names, dates, times, etc.), then you're about as safe as can be. Common sense - don't leave home without it. If hotsk8rgurl191 wants to add you, she wants to meet, chances are either that she/he/it's A. One of those internet cam whore emo pricks, or B. a pedophile. I don't know about you, but I'd go with the latter. When in doubt, check to see who they are. You can look at their profile. You've got eyes and a brain for a reason. You may want to set your profile to "private" if you're underaged (doesn't it do this already, though?).
You guys have heard though about colleges looking at applicants myspaces and actually denying them from getting in. Happened to someone who was applying to harvard and thats the reason they wouldn't accept him. Well, the main reason was because he put stupid ---- up on there drinking bud light with his friends. Still, its scary to know colleges look at that stuff.
Honestly, I post all of my infomation. Go ahead a steal the identity of a 16 year old kid, even better, come try and rape me. I'd just kick and scream and knock the ---- out of you
Myspace is dangerous in many ways. You are giving out pictures and other info about yourself, often too much. One thing you can do now is put yourself on safe mode which allows only friends to see your profile. Another important thing that I have read about is that college admissions would see people's myspace accounts and decline them because of the things that they saw on their pictures etc. Pretty interesting...
Like my retarded friend that thinks he's so smart, but posts his full name and exact location on the internet.
Lol... Yeah, lots of people lurking in MySpace.com or other types of blog websites for dumbass people.
I know someone in my school who was all skanky and stuff, she had someone stalking her, cuz on myspace apparently... of course, she's a stupid whore probly..
funny story from a while back, one of my friends had this whole scheme played out, but lemme explain it from my stand point... my friends all know that im pretty daring as far as people paying me to do things (such as dress drag at school when its not halloween, or drop pants in class and stuff) and one of them said that myspace was not as easy to stalk people on as people make it out to be and i said sure it is and he dared me to stalk a girl and stuff... so i told him to select a girls profile and I would find the girl and find out where she lived in about 1 week... so i did find the girl (she went to a local school, not mine, but our rival school) and eventually she turned around and asked about me following her and such and told me how she liked it and asked me out... the thing is my friend and her were good friends and she was too nervous to talk to me, so he devised a plan to get me around her enough to kind of ease the anxiety, hence me "stalking" her and eventually we started dating... kind of an odd story... meh lol
mm... I think myspace is fine so long as your using it for friends.. and not for relationships! and ive anyone asks to meet in real life? Dont talk to them again!
