MyYearbook (http://www.myyearbook.com/)

okay, myyearbook isn't that bad. I MADE ONE WHEN I WAS 9. I think it's a lot like facebook basically, the only thing is that it might have a little more bad stuff in it, I only really go on now to donate to causes (which is actually a great part of myyearbook, you can use your virtual money to donate to real-life charities). There are some messed up people on there, but aslong as you don't talk to people you don't know you're good.

I believe media currently does mature teenagers faster than you can begin to even fathom. A site such as this conveys that. This site is suggestive, blame it on the hormones. This site has safety features that are reasonably accessible, doesn't mean that you can't be traumatized by a pervy tween or a pedo. Still, this site burns up meaningless time and is ingenious. I spend time on it myself as a 16 year old female and enjoy every moment of it. But, I do want to express this, if you don't recognize the behavior expressed on your teen's profile then obviously you don't know your own kid. Identity is being found during these years and without a positive and accepting support system, you will be horrified by what your spawn does, says, or thinks. So yes, instead of scaring your kids about sex, be open about it and don't make them ashamed to the point that they'll start sneaking around. True, this generation of kids are hard to handle, but the parents are just as much to blame. As I observed, each generation is getting more worse, and this site reflects that. On the other hand, not to be any more than modest, but there are others on the site like myself that enjoy decent conversations and innocent flirting. This site is worth keeping, as long as parents are a bit more involved if the teen is under 15. And to address a common concern, "I trust my child, just no one else," Remember, there are safety features and as long as they don't give out personal identification details, he/she is safe. All you have to worry about are those extreme pedos that try tracing IP addresses and try finding out where you live from there.

My friend used to use this site, but her mom made her quit due to questionable content.

this is scary. i took a few quizzes and in less than 7 minutes,i got literally 6 million profile hits. im guessing i have an attractive profile pic or sumthin but idk its a weird way of getting so much attention in so little time. btw im 12. and ive had a MYB account since i was 10 and its not as bad as people think it is,sure theres nasty stuff on there but its avoidable.

i think that myyearbook is a place for teens and only teens to meet other teens like them and find people to communicate with. if some teens want to post sex pictures on there then its their fault and there giving there body away on the internet!!!! KEEP MYYEARBOOK!!!!!!!!! scincerly: A 15 YR OLD TEEN

I had Myyearbook for a while. It's pretty much known as an easy "pick-up site". I see ALOT of guys asking for dirty pictures and things to very young girls. I read the messages these 18-30 year old men were sending my 13 year old niece and made her delete her account.

I have an account on MyYearbook and I haven't had a problem with it. At the end of the day, you choose what you put on your profile, you post yourself half naked, OF COURSE you're going to get male attention and of course it will be for sexual reasons. Furthermore, if you receive a message that you consider inappropriate, just delete it, you don't have to reply and enagage with that person. You can also block them to prevent it from happening again. Using this site just requires a little common sense and dignity, it's a lot more open than its neighbours such as facebook, so just be a bit more aware of what you put on and who can see it. I'm sick of parents complaining about what is essentially their own child's stupidity. I recommend this site for 15+ because younger teens crave flattery and don't have the sense to say no or just ignore provocative requests. I know this because I'm 16 and even now a smile comes to my face if someone likes my profile picture. This site can be a lot of fun when you use it properly, yes you can buy other people's photos but its just a bit of fun with virtual money, it's not like you're actually owned by that person. Yes you can rate people but you have to submit a picture for that to occur. If the site is really such a huge issue, delete your account and move on to something else because there are people (such as myself) who enjoy this site and have the ability to control themselves and what they say and do on it. I sincerely hope this has made certain people rethink their opinions because this site really isn't as awful as it's portrayed to be. Laura :)
