Myspace is a great way to get into a lot of trouble. Any teenager, or even someone younger, can post up a lot of information about themselves letting any predator find out all they need to know about them.
Some kids are even posting their cell phone numbers! So, is it really safe for teenagers to let it all hang out? Of course not. Teens and young people in general don't have the full concept of reality that the fact this world is not a safe and innocent place. Indeed, childhood is innocence, but Myspace is not.
If teens continue to post up nearly nude photos of themselves, and start entertaining the idea of "hooking" up at places away from the computer, they are leading themselves into some very dark and risky territory.
It's a jungle out there on Myspace, parental discretion is advised.
