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.

instant profile hits. weird much?
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.

It all depends on how you handle your children.
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.

Open your eyes and use your head!
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 :)

Can they handle it?
I like it, but you dont have much of a choice in private settings for your profile. Its either showing or not, its okay but most girls take photos of themselves half naked and in bikini's and stuff but still it depends how mature your child is.

READ THIS
A lot of reviewers say that this site is bs and can harm kids. However, I have used this site since i was 16 and have not run into slutty girls or many false people. I have checked out every person i message to make sure that they are real however. I think that it should not be used by people under 14 but for those over 14 it is fine. As to "angryirishdad"s review, there are no 13 year old girls in bras on the site that i have seen. If you look for them you will probably find a handful, but a hormonal 12 year old would be more likely to search for them than a 16 year old looking for an honest relationship. I have, myself, looked for and found real people on the site who i checked out to be legit. If you are careful then it is a good site, but if you are not careful then you may fall prey but by your own fault.

Myyearbook: More or the less, compared to other sites, I feel its the best
Voting as an ON and recommended to ages 14-15 and up, along with a good head on the shoulders, maturity and sense ( Trust me, it's a tad bit better than the other sites) : As with many social networking sites of today, Myyearbook is yet another that leave many parents skeptical of their teens using the site. Personally, I prefer it over Facebook. I have had the site for nearly two years and find it very easy to block anyone who I feel is bothering me because if I block or report them, they are either A - Permenantly banned and not allowed to create a new account or B- I am not tracable from a search website, like Google from their IP address. With the many new site updates, especially with the much worried over anxiety, I have options to make it so that only Myyearbook users can see me, from only a certain age range, and only thru myyearbook itself. Having this I feel safer, not only proctecting my face and info, but as well as my added info that I may make throughout the site ( i.e. on forums or quizzes) The profiles I feel you are much more allowed to express yourself which I think is a great self-individual boost to oneself. As well, the site has a block when you are adding someone that they cannot be any older than 3 years than you ( i.e if I am 14 I can add people up to the age of 17, any higher, access to friend is automatically denied and vice versa which is an added safety factor most sites don't have) I will admit, yes, you might run into the usual "internet celebrity" with the 10,000 friends and admirers, the pedo who lies about their age or the shady friend. Allow your teen to post a few pictures ( like 3-5) but not a ton, especially stress to NEVER post sexually explict which can get around and attract the wrong attention ( guys are well...guys) I've seen many girls regret it after the fact. If you are big on having a cleaner wall feed on the mainstream, there is an option that automatically blocks language, leaving out the more milder ones, like crap for example. All in all, it's a good site, but don't let your guard down and DONT meet anyone in person. Web chat is offered, doesn't mean that you must take advantage of it. Rating is something that is another feature, but if you want nothing of it, don't do it simply. Lastly, it's the internet, and there's no guarentee that Myyearbook will be any safer than Facebook or Twitter, yet personally, I've felt it's had better features and can be an fun website with the right info and advice given. So sensor your teen but don't hawk them at every waking moment. Myyearbook like every site has it's limits, so stay within boundaries with your teens but put it into perspective. That one mean IM, racy comment or risque picture could cost you sooner or later, like college...or a job in the future; yet aren't meant to be warded off completely. I hope this advice has been helpful

MyYearbook, a place for teenagers.
IT IS GREAT FOR TEENAGERS!!! I really not often see that much bad stuff but if I do I hide it away from me... It can do things that FB cannot do like moods, layouts, etc... creative stuff like that. This website is were... teenagers can... hang out :-)

Skip this horrible website

Read Me :)
I'm 15 now and have a myyearbook account which I've had since I was 13 and yes you will get the odd person who posts inappropriate pictures but you can so easily report them and the inappropriate content is taking off. I have met some really nice people via myyearbook and I have made some keepers of friends. As long as you make your children are aware that not everyone is who they say there are and all the safety rules you'll have no problem, but you have to show you trust them and your not going to stop them or monitor them like a hawk...To be completely honest those who aren't as respectful to the rules are others are the ones with the parents who don't care so if more parents can put trust in their children then myyearbook can better itself.....
