PPLZ ... I GAVE MADE MY 9YEAR OLD SISTER MYSPACE Was I wrong.. should i delete it!?

Question

Okay.. my sister will be turning 10 this Sept 08' and she says all her friends have myspace, and she's been asking me forever. But I told her when she's 15/16 she can get it.

But the other day.. I was on the web and a pop-up came of The Jonas Brothers, and there was a link to some myspace layouts.

Just to let you know my sister is addicted to them.

Soo.. I showed her and then we ended up making her a page!

BUT the only condition was that I have the password, and she doesn't know it. Therefore only when im around she can access her account, which gives me an eye on her friends/comment/message ext.

She doesn't know how to use it, its soo cute :P. I went on her msn with her and we were searching for her friends.

Which is another point, lots of her friends same age, have it.

She got msn last year, and I was against it, so her older brother, my older brother lol made it for her. But again i monitored that!

I LOVE MY SISTER AND WANT HER TO BE SAFE... PLEASE GIVE ME YOU COMMENT/ADVICE...as if it was your close friend/family member you were talking to.

Thxxxs in advance.

Sorry for the long detail.

Answer 1

I don't think is right..she is 9 years old, you should be encouraging her to read, play with her dolls, skate, bike riding, there are lost of things you can do with her that at the end will benefit more.  I know is cute and everything, i have a sister too she will be turning 7 on Sep 7, and I think kids this days are growing up so fast.  Even though you have the password that doesn't mean you will always have time to monitor what she sees..my advice is to delete the account and treat her to something nice instead....Good luck...

Answer 2

yes make her delete it...no reason for her to have it

Answer 3

well, you seem very responsible.

even though i dont agree with people having myspaces until they at least reach highschool.... if you are responsible enough (which it seems) to consistantly check her myspace... then i think its pretty safe... no matter what, there will be people (dangerous in cyber space), but just continue to keep an eye on her like you're doing. + remind her to be careful online

Answer 4

delete it

Answer 5

i think as long as your watching her its fine, but i still dont agree with the fact that a nine year old has a myspace account

Answer 6

dude what the freak is a 9 year old going to do on myspace.  that was dumb

Answer 7

Just make sure you fix the settings, so that she doesn't meet any wierd'os or people that's up to no good. (prime example) My ex- husband is on there and he is a con artist and his profile are full of lies about everything. just be careful who you meet on there

Answer 8

I know exactly what your feeling. I have the same problem with my sister, the same age as yours. But really I think you did the right thing by monitoring it and making sure you knew the information. My little sister went behind my back and made everything i told her not to (ex. AIM, MYSPACE and FRIENDSTER). But I do know how to get into her accounts so I can still monitor her. I think what you did was right. You gave her freedom and what she wanted, so she shouldn't complain.  

Answer 9

I dont know why its such a big deal in the first place? I think youre being overprotective about it personally.

Answer 10

I think it will be just fine for her. Plenty of my younger cousins have myspace and some are even younger than 10. As long as her activity is monitored and you know she is not being contacted by pedophiles I dont see a problem. I am a mom of two younger children and I will soon have this same issue of whether or not my kids should create a myspace. Good luck and it sounds like you are a caring big sister!

Answer 11

uh that is not safe i suggest she gets a facebook
