FIGHTING AGAINST MYSPACE EVILS
MySpace makes it easy to express yourself, connect with friends and make new ones, but please remember that what you post publicly could embarrass you or expose you to danger. Here are some common sense guidelines that you should follow when using MySpace:
-Don't forget that your profile and MySpace forums are public spaces. Don't post anything you wouldn't want the world to know (e.g., your phone number, address, IM screens name, or specific whereabouts). Avoid posting anything that would make it easy for a stranger to find you, such as where you hang out every day after school.
-People aren't always who they say they are. Be careful about adding strangers to your friends list. It's fun to connect with new MySpace friends from all over the world, but avoid meeting people in person whom you do not fully know. If you must meet someone, do it in a public place and bring a friend or trusted adult.
-Harassment, hate speech and inappropriate content should be reported. If you feel someone's behavior is inappropriate, react. Talk with a trusted adult, or report it to MySpace or the authorities.
-Don't post anything that would embarrass you later. Think twice before posting a photo or info you wouldn't want your parents or boss to see!
-Don't mislead people into thinking that you're older or younger. If you lie about your age, MySpace will delete your profile.

Something we saw on youtube triggered our moods. A girl by the name of Megan Meier took her own life due to online bullying. Something that happened right over myspace...a 13 year-old girl was caught up in an online romance. A boy had messaged her telling her that she had beautiful eyes and that she was his number one. She was head over heels about him. She wasn't use to getting this sort of attention. They started talking regularly until one day, out of no where he started harassing her and telling her that he heard from her friends that she was a slut and a liar. When it ended she was so stressed that she later hung herself from her own closet. When the parents went to find the boys myspace account that had been saying such hateful things to their daughter after convincing her she was in love, they found that he had deleted his account. Later after some time passed but the tears continued someone informed them that it wasn't a boy their daughter had been talking to... It was a mother that had lived on their street who was looking for vengeance on Megan for her very own daughter! She was pretending to be a young boy to find out information.
There are no laws against this sort of thing but you can help bring her and her family some justice. This is something that happens more then we'd like to think. The internet can influence bad decision making whether it be from bullying, emotional attachment to someone you've never met or meeting someone without the right information and it being unsafe. Watch this video and sign the petition.
HELP MEGAN'S FAMILY GET JUSTICE!

We are here to give tips on how to tell if someone you are speaking to is the real deal, how to report findings of fakes(even if it's you, you could save a life by reporting it instead of recording it!), we are going to promote getting laws past against internet offenders, tips for parents, provide young girls/boys with someone to message when they're unsure about a situation and give good advice for them to follow and make good decisions, we will also provide plans and ideas that everyone should take to keep themselves safe online!
Another thing we really look forward to, is putting a stop to online predators! People like "Will Guterctomy". Who steals girls photos and exploits them on websites like METALEROTICA and ELITIA. He is porn obsessed and girl obsessed. He will continue to stalk and bully girls until they give in to what he wants. We would like to warn every girl or guy who has anything to do with him, to simply stay away! Any questions about him please message us and we will be glad to give you more details on why you should stay away from him!
Also if you know anyone on myspace who you think is dangerous or suspicious let us know.
Myspace is suppose to be "a place for friends".
And its not cool when you have to deal with people you simply just don't want to deal with.
Lets help eachother out, lets make myspace a safer place.
