Which is more Dangerous...Xanga or MySpace?
Both are safe if you don't give your personal info to these people, I've had problems on Myspace because I wasn't so smart and put my personal details on my page and I've had alot of women stalk me saying they love me, it's scary.
Reply:myspace.....
Reply:I'm not sure which is more dangerous, but you should always monitor the sites your children go onto. Usually, there isn't information on there that will make your child personally identifiable so long as they use a screen name, but make sure to check regularly.
Reply:My son loves talking to his friends on-line. I let him but I monitor who he talks to and we try to keep an open lines of comunication with our children. I want my son or daughter to inform me if someone he doesn't know ever approched his on-line. It's very scary but there is acces to the internet everywhere so instead of pretending there is no threat we try to educate our kids on how important it is to never give out personal information over thenet and never meet up with anyone they meet on the net.


I really believe talking to our children and monitoring thier time on line can help a great deal. It will not eliminate the threat but it keeps everyone informed.

O.kay now that I've blabed on for ever. LOL


Be safe!





The above answer is that of ignorance. Children do not looked to be harmed. When someone is skilled at what they do it is very easy for them to talk a child into giving personal information without the child realizing it. No child deserves to be harmed in any way!!!!!!!!
Reply:I would say myspace. Becuz' everybody seems to ask you out all the time.
Reply:well the people who die from these killers or whatever are ******* stupid and they should know not to give out personal information. so i think the poeple that die or get raped from these website deserve it cause they are stupid.
Reply:First off, I'm very impressed that you consider it dangerous - most girls your age don't think about it. I've never used Xanga so I can't compare the two, but so long as you don't give out any personal information either one should be reasonably safe. The problem is that a lot of kids assume that only their friends will read their page and give their full name, age, school, etc. along with a picture of themselves. Just remember that anyone can read your page, and don't post anything that you wouldn't want some creepy old man to read and you'll be fine. Also keep in mind that whatever you post on there is available not only to your friends but also to your parents and teachers if they chose to look for it.
Reply:i don't know anything about xanga, but let's just say that there's a reason i deleted my myspace lol. i haven't answered the phone in weeks and she still calls every day... from 2400 miles away...





also, it's the heart of teenage drama. anything said on myspace is not kept personal like a real conversation might be.





but i think the main problem with it is the slow and steady decay of human contact. out ability to communicate, to related, to view people as "real" slips away. how often do you laugh out loud reading an email vs. talking to someone face-to-face? i ramble. but i think i got most of the answer down...





and yes, guys definitely ask girls out a lot on myspace lol.
