I have 3 half-sibli...OMG this is such a tough one! I have 3 half-siblings in high school - 2 girls and 1 boy - and only the girls are into myspace. My brother could care less about it. <br /><br />But these girls - HS! Their language is worse than any sailor I've never heard! But their respective moms don't really get on to them much about it. I think the reason why is because they figure their daughters are coming to them and talking about problems and teenage stuff - and moms probably figure putting the clamp-down on their choice of language on "their space" will make them less likely to come to mom and share anything... it'll kinda put a clamp-down on the open lines of communication they feel lucky to have going with their daughters....<br /><br />I think its a trade-off. Kids today - its universal - they ALL wanna be gangstas and thugs - they are just CRUDE. But that is their lingo with their online posse... I would let him have his myspace if it means preserving your lines of communication with your son, which is far more important.<br /><br />On the other hand, my mom always tries to get my sister to clean up her language on myspace and facebook because supposedly college admissions people are watching! And if they don't approve of your online persona - BAM! No more college acceptance letter!Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
