Myspace..a place for friends or fiends?

I tried to write a clever title...oh well. I have a myspace page, and it's just a normal thing, I think I pretty much express who I am on it and all, you know, likes and dislikes, its just fun and it gives you a chance to talk to old friends and interesting people you normally wouldn't have a chance to talk to. The good side of myspace. Then there's the disturbing side. Obviously, we know that there are predators on there and that just makes me want to puke, but that's not even what I'm talking about. What I'm talking about are the teenagers who have pages, where every other word is **** (the 4-letter word) - EVERY OTHER WORD!!!! And they call each other horrible names and its just gross. I know some of these teenagers, they're friends of my neices or they come to where I work often, or I know their parents...and I know their parents would just die if they saw how their teenagers talked and displayed themselves. Its amazing what a whole other world myspace is...it gives kids the freedom to be as nasty and vulgar as they want and their parents will NEVER know it. Still being somewhat of a kid myself and having kids, I'm glad I know about this world. I know kids do a lot of this junk for the shock factor or because they think its cool and their friends think its cool and it makes them feel grown-up and blah, blah, blah. Its just startling to see these normal, nice people in person who smile and act so decent and then you see their myspace page and they have a title like, "Clownkiller from Hell" or something equally stupid. You know? Ha, I know I did stupid stuff when I was a teenager, some VERY stupid stuff, so I should be able to relate to these weirdo kids, but it just makes me mad and makes me feel sorry for them and their parents. And it makes me feel sorry for me, who will have teenagers in a few years. I'm frightened, Auntie Em, I'm frightened!

I know what you mean. Especially considering that my sister is one of these people you speak of. I don't know why they all act like that. What's more interesting to me, is that they act the way they do and still manage to have friends. You'll meet one of Carrie's friends and they will seem so sweet, and then... You find out what they are really like and it is frightening. I mean, these kids go out of their way to let the whole world know that they are whores! They are proud of it! It is insane and disgusting. I said something to Carrie about it yesterday, about a quote she had one her facebook site, and she said that it was just something she heard and she thought it was funny. I'll give you details later. It was just gross tho. Like I said, They go out of their way to let everyone know they are whores, who will sleep with anyone and do anything. It's really sad.
