Answer 1

is myspace "safe"?

well that depends on how old you are, and if you are a kid who likes to click on everything just to see what it does and if you are easily tricked by spammers into installing malicious software onto your computer

all it takes is one wrong click and your entire computer's security is vulnerable, including bank account numbers and anything else you keep on your computer

but then again, the same holds true no matter what site you are talking about (even yahoo answers!) - spammers are everywhere on every site - trying to make money off people who click on things they shouldnt be clicking on

so tell your parents, if they are worried about you using myspace, then they also have to worry about you using every other website in the world (including yahoo answers) - it's not like online preditors ONLY use myspace... that would just be silly....

Answer 2

Ask your parents to read this and I think they might just give you a chance. The internet is both a highly dangerous place ans as safe as houses. Contradictory but true. If you use antivirus, antispyware and a good firewall your computer is safe. If you don't it isn't. If you visit bad sites and believe everything people tell you you can get in deep trouble. Use your head and you will be safe. Make a deal with Mum & Dad, give them your password for your myspace, if you know they can see it you will not do anything stupid. If they know they can see it they are more likely to trust you. Hi Mum & Dad You could do worse than have a myspace of your own you know. It's not just for kids. I am sixty six and the web helps me keep in touch with the world despite my disabilities. I have a myspace but I keep it private and my friends are by invitation only. Learn to trust one another, it can be a lot of fun. Good Luck and Peace to you all.
