I would like to thank all the mamas who took their time to post a response to my thread.
I hear each and everyone of you on your opinions and am very touched by anyone who has made a statement.

Numero uno- My daughter opened this account when she was almost 13 and put down she was 15 . She had the account opened at the end of the school year at a friends house I'm certain. She's 13 . Although she says her account is private and a person can only be her friend if she invites them.

Numero Dos-All these changes have occurred within a years span. Trouble began at home when I saw the second marking period grades. I had decided to let her manage her own homework and her own studying. Told her to buckle up and the grades went even more down. During the fourth marking period she wasn't allowed to go out in the weekends anymore and her friends couldn't call her till after six. (believe it or not she had one friend still call her early even when my daughter had told her not to call)
I'm not crazy about the school system either here but when she starts out with 90's and ends with 70's my antenae can't help but go up)

I think if she didn't drop her grades and become disruptive in class I wouldn't be throwing such a hissy fit (in my head-not to her) The disruptions have been minor(talking back to teachers ) and when I found out I did my best to see that they didn't happen. She has an air of intitlement which I can't seem to agree with and I have seen with adults as well as children.

I am going to talk to my daughter but I know part of the reason is that she really wants to feel like she's one of the kids. But at the same time the friends she did seem to have for one reason or another she has seem to not be too interested in.

ok , it's quite possible that I could tell my daughter not right now as far as myspace goes but I shall have to see. There's alot going on in her life right now that we need to figure out.
Thank you
