[QUOTE="dreamer, post: 8388, member: 1697"] For the Myspace stuff? I have watched my kids and their fiends nd my youngest brother post there and I have found that kids post all kinds of things, whether t is true or not. I have seen them post they are taking college classes when I know for certain they aren't. I have seen them post or put up photos claiming they drug, even if they don't------(maybe looking for excitement?) and I have seen ones who DO drug post and sound anti drug. I guess it depends who they are trying to impress or what audience they are trying to draw in or something? they might as well be in costume on a stage. Yes, sometimes what you read on Myspace is true, and sometimes it's not. And even if it sounds "bad" - well- some people find "bad" to be "cool" As for the news, even if you did not have a difficult child it is highly possible the news and sirens could still upset you. When I hear the town my brother lives in on the news, my ears perk- was he in a car accident? the victim of a crime? Whatever news story might be on, if they name a place I am familiar with, I pay closer attention, hoping all are safe. My friends, my cousins etc. I am pretty sure once my kids no longer live at home, I will perk up listening to the news if anything at all sounds even remotely like them. [/QUOTE]
