I have this 16 year old girl named Brandy who can't seem to stay off of the internet. (myspace) I have a drs appt for hi blood pressure and stress just dealing with this. She has developed friendships with a lot of dudes (I don"t know what else to call them) I have sent her down to Fl to see her dad until the 5th of next month but then all of the drama is going to start again. You should also know that I have 7 children and only 2 girls of the bunch and the boys turned out better than the girls.
Can anyone tell me what to do with a 16 year old daughter? She is meeting guys on myspace and bringing them to my home. She is now in Fl visiting her dad (miserable) and will be coming back on the 5th of July. She thinks she is a diva and I would be thrilled if she met someone in High School, (West Rowan High) but unfortunetly she just does her thing on "myspace" Thank you for any info"

You need some professional intervention, some family counseling. Why not set it up for as soon as she returns. Next, take the computer away from her. She is playing a dangerous game and you need to protect her from herself.

If nothing else, you need to absolutely forbid her bringing strangers from the internet to your house. This is dangerous to you, her and your family. Counseling is certainly worth exploring ASAP.
Is she actually meeting strangers on myspace and inviting them to your home? I would want to ask her why she needs to do that. What is wrong with the people she already knows and I would share some information from that TV show (Dateline) about how dangerous this is.
On WSOC tonite - they had a segment on a teen in Hickory (or near Lenoir?) whose parents just discovered some pervert (maybe around 40?) had flown in from Minnesota, I think . . . to meet up w/ their daughter. The mom was crying - it was awful. I will see if I can find a link.
Unforunately the time to really train your kids is well before they are 16. All you can really do at this point is try to mitigate the behavior and make sure she's got to tools to keep herself from getting pregnant.
Simple.
Get rid of the computer(s). Especially in childrens rooms.
If you must have one, put one in your bedroom for your use.
Computer use as a child/teen is a privelage not a right, it comes with rules and responsibilites, and if she or your other children don't like it, then tough. Be the parent.
