Many adults and kids go to myspace and chatting rooms but, many kids don't know if they are in danger or talking to a stranger.Like if your on a chatting room and only now there user name but doesn't have a pic. maybe, he/her might be trying to get information out of you. Kids think it's cool to have a chat room and a myspace. I personally have one and like it but,i know some things are dangerous. Here are some safe tips of using a myspace:
1.) If they ask you for you're name say a fake one or don't say nothing All
2.)Don't' give out any personally info. about yourself and family like:
-phone #

-Fam. Names
3.) MOST IMPORTANT DON"T SHOW YOU"RE PICTURE!!
4.) Don't post anything that could embarrass you or expose you later
5.) Harassment, hate speech and inappropriate content should be reported

Here's a story about what happened to Megan for using myspace:
Megan Meier was a 13 year old from Missouri who struck up an online friendship on the popular social networking site MySpace with a person she believed was a new boy in her hometown. In actuality, the “friend” was a group of individuals, including adults, who were intent on humiliating the poor girl because of a friendship with another child that had gone awry. Megan was very upset when she found out the truth, then later committed suicide once the friendship had terminated. The horrifying case stunned the community and caused state government officials to pass some of the harshest cyber bullying laws in the country.
