I know myspace is really popular and I have a page for myself and the dogs, but I have learned you have to be extremely careful what you put on it. I personally do not put ANYTHING on my MySpace that I wouldnt want my Grandma or Grandpa to see (which is a lot because my grandpa is a preacher). I dont just do this because of what my family may think but for many other reasons. Its the WORLD WIDE WEB! You just ahve to be sooooo careful. Companies are now using myspace to screen employees using thier very own personal thoughts and information that they made public by putting it on myspace. This seems totally unfair but this is what can happen when you really put your whole personal life out there. You can be judged for a job and it looks so bad when you put stupid stuff on your myspace just to look "cool" or if you put other things on there that just might incriminate yourself. Im really not trying to be rude but so many of my friends have to tackiest stuff on their myspace pages.
You want another example? I put somewhere on my Myspace page what I did for a living and I said I own an online dog boutique called Tinkerbell's CLoset. Well next thing I know, I was googling my store name and my Myspace page pops up. Well I didnt have anything bad on it but I still never thought my customers might see my myspace page and I was a little embarrassed. So then I had to make sure it looked really professional and that there wasnt anything I thought anyone might judge me on because my business is my life(I took my pictures of Brad Pitt and Paul Walker off my page because it was a little cheezy
).
So bottomline you need to tell your cousin to be careful. Not just because her parents will read what she put on it, but because the whole world can see it and maybe she thought she didnt care if they did, but one day down the road she might care.
