Question

my cousin is a great girl and totaly wants to learn but the thing is myspace gots her hooked she will not do school work for nothing and is getting bad grades what can i do to help her or what can she do to get off of that dam site.

Answer 1

My parents use a device called content barrier to keep us off bad websites and lock all use of the internet at certain times. If her parents buy this program they can set the settings to block bad websites, certain websites, and the entire internet at certain times if they want too.

Here is the website of the company that makes it,

Answer 2

Put a site blocker on the computer for myspace so that she can still do her work on the computer, but not log into myspace.

Answer 3

Are you her age or are you older? What kind of a relationship do you have with her? Her parents?

Her parents are the ones who would have to step in and make some serious decisions about limiting the myspace. As for your part, be her friend. Learn about internet addiction (there's probably lots of information online!) and how to help her. Also talk to her about her dreams--not in a way where it's like you are trying to make her do her school work, just as a friend who wants to discuss dreams. Share your own. Work out plans together on how you can make your dreams come true--what does your time need to be spent on.
