I have noticed that MySpace is turning into a teen playground. The more and more that I look around on MySpace, the more teens I see than any other group of people. Perhaps, I am looking in the wrong places? I think that it is discouraging that social networking sites are turning all to teens. What happened to talking to your teen friends on the phone? What happened to writing letters by hand?

Teens spend way too much time on MySpace. They have to comment on each other. They have to put up pictures. And look at all the horror stories you read in the news about teens and MySpace. These don't even account for all the other horrible events that happen probably by the minute on MySpace.

I let my teen talk some on MySpace but there is frustration that I am constantly monitoring the page and reviewing the picts and comments. I was absolutely shocked at some of the comments and suggestions that are made by teens on MySpace. I'm not any goody hoot person. I have been exposed to a lot. But the amount of profanity and sexual suggestions and flat out disgusting things that teens are putting up on MySpace really makes me wonder about the future of our country.

I like Victor's idea as well.. great suggestion .. there are several clubs that you can join through yahoo and such but it would be cool to have one that is just AC and not through a newsgroup thingy

I have a MySpace page, but I rarely use it. I was able to connect to some of my friends that I went to high school with, but other than that I am rarely even looking over there.

I agree. It is even younger than teens....my ten year old has friends who have My Space pages. She is not allowed to go within a hundred yards of that site...I am completely appalled. Where are these parents??????

Number of pornsite affiliates masquerading as members requesting to be added as friends is increasing too!

The more teens that use the internet, the more they're going to take over social networking sites. I stay away from those sites simply because it's so hard to find someone to chat with in my age group. Great article!

True,I have been more and more wary of using MySpace,maybe we at AC should look around and see if we cant start our own Social Networking Site
