You're a LOON :)
My kids are not teens yet... but 2 of them have a myspace. I monitor everything they do on it, neither one has the passwords. And they are both my friends and each others on myspace.
Only problem with them being friends is you have to watch what you yourself put on there and what any of your friends might put on there.

Yes.
But when they get mad at me, they remove me from their friends.
Then I put a password on the computer until they add me back.

I took the keyboard away, because he refused to add me. I told him as soon as he added me, he could have it back. I asked him "do you see that happening?", and he said "No".

Being an ex-teen boy, he will get another keyboard.
Thank ya Jeebus that my kids are adults 
It was tough enough monitoring and blocking their email accounts.

I bet you are! I didn't even think about monitoring his emails.
He's my stepson, who called on Monday morning, and asked if he could move in with us. My husband and I went up to his Mom's that night, and we went over what would be expected of him, and what wouldn't be acceptable to us. He agreed to everything, and we brought him home that night.
I withdrew him from Northern the next day, and enrolled him in Patuxent. Today is Thursday, and he's not living up to his agreement already!

I wonder if we should start a pool on how long that will last or how long it will take for him to get around it. Kids are extremely resourceful these days.

Being a teen and just graduating from highschool I figured I should voice my opinion also. I personally think that high school students shouldn't be monitered like you guys are saying they need to be. Middle schoolers yes. High schoolers are almost adults and need to learn their responabilities. Your also not facing the problem of you stepson being a girl and posting racy photos. Is there a reason why you want to protect him so much? Has he done things in the past to make you worried about his internet access?
Myspace/ Facebook are jsut social things for most kids and when parents force them to be their friend and have them check their page is embaressing, that is why kids get freaked out about it. I gladly befriended my mother because I could care less.
I'm also sure that you all did things when you were younger you didn't want your parents seeing, etc.

doesnt mean he cant get on, on other computers/cellphones/ipods....
im young, 22, and if a child doesnt want their parent seeing what they are doing, they shouldnt be doing it, IMO. and i dont care how old, if the child is living under the parents roof, they need to abide by their rules. There were some things on my fb that started some problems in my family, rumors too, i showed my Mom my fb, she wasnt exactly happy about it, but she knows that im 22 and can make my own decisions. You dont get that choice when youre under 18 and living under your parents roof. If they want to act like an adult, get a job and move out like an adult.

do you have to be a smarta** about everything? Leonardtown BTW. I am not going to waste my spelling and grammer skills on a forum talking to a bunch of people who love to argue.

So why waste your time at all and argue back?
Exactly
It's not just about what they are doing, it's also about all the other people on the internet that aren't who they say they are.

I believe that if you give a kid a little trust, they will behave more and open up to you more. My parents let me do my own thing and because of that I talk to my parents about drugs, sex, acohol, and the problems I sometimes face. I was a very good student in school and I am now in college. I also openly show my parents my pages and pictures of whatever/ Parents who monitor their children 24/7 normally lose the ability to communicate with their kids. IMO
