Sounds to me like she needs a good whoopin’. I know if my parents ever said “no” to something, that was the end of it. If I was stupid enough to press the issue, game over. :meh:
Any firewall software should hae a section to block webpages, or you can simply add myspace.com to the IE list to block cookies. If you block the cookies to myspace, you will never be able to log on and use the site.
In IE, go to Tools -> Internet Options -> Privacy -> Add the url to the list. Problem solved.
Also under the content tab in browser settings, you can tell it to block myspace.com. And put a password restricting the page. If you are using IE that is.
My 15 year old daughter has a myspace page. She doesn’t know that I have found it. I check it daily. If I detect anything wrong on that page, I will talk to her. She has been taught to be responsible on the internet. It all starts with the parents and the child or in this case, the older brother. Try talking to her and tell her your concerns. You take it away from her and she will just rebel. Be smart about it.
:tup: to this.
DrImodium,
You block it at home, but she will just use it at a friend’s house. :shrug: Myspace is a drug to some people and they will get to it no matter what you do.
My sis has her page set up so that you can only view it if you are her “friend”. You have to PM her and ask her to be your friend and then she needs to agree. If she doesnt agree, then you cant see her page. I have tried to talk to her about it but she tells me to mind my own buisness :gotme:
Sound advice :tup:
Hope this helps:

The only real good advice in this thread :tup:
It all starts with parenting. Good parents almost always have responsible children.
