I'm in the same camp--If I don't have access to my son's passwords, then he doesn't have access to the internet.
I am friends with many teenagers on Facebook, the same way I am friends with them in real life. I don't get why that is weird, but today I was talking to a friend and her daughter said it was creepy when she found out her father had a Facebook page. It cracks me up that they think they own the internet! lol.
MySpace was way worse than Facebook. I always looked at my son's friends pages through his page, and I was frequently appalled by the pictures that even the boys posted. I kept thinking of the pervs that must be trolling for pictures of shirtless young boys. Until recently my son wasn't allowed to even show his face on his Myspace. He doesn't use Myspace anymore, anyway. Facebook is way more secure, but he's not interested. I like it much better.
