Who are those young jokers in the picture there you might ask? Well, actually that’s my son Will (second from left) and his mates at home in Australia. He’s got a wide circle of friends does my son and ever since he returned to Oz he has been having the time of his life. Hmmm, not sure that’s such a good thing knowing my boy…but anyway he is one of the many people that keeps a page at MySpace and he has used that to widen his circle of friends.
You can say what you like about these social networking sites but, if used responsibly, can serve a positive purpose. There are a lot of people who cannot leave the house for reasons of health or whatever and by simply creating a page of their own can ‘meet’ other people and chat with them. It fills a gap in the lives of those who would otherwise be very lonely. Looking at some of the pages and pics some people have created can be quite interesting.
But parents be warned…approach your own childs page with an open mind – believe me it may not be for the faint hearted!
