OMG you're only middle school? You're very well spoken :)
I go to the store and I am just SHOCKED by the things they are telling kids they should wear. Actually I'm kinda jealous and I wish they had cute stuff in my size, but I'm 30! Kids shouldn't be showing off breasts they don't have. Especially when we're trying to keep them away from sexual predators.
While I don't play "blame the victim," I absolutely think there are things that can be done to downplay your liklihood of being victimized, and not dressing like a loose-woman is one of them *snicker*
Myspace is just as good or bad as you make it, just like LiveJournal. I hate Myspace because nothing is censored, there's no friends-lock, and no 18+ lock on entries or on userinfo pages.
It's not censorship because your'e not STOPPING the speech, you're just locking it behind a curtain that no one underage can go through.
Just wow- I'm really impressed by your comments though. Way to go!
