from a 14 year old girl...
I don't even want to touch this one with a 10 foot pole. Any other TX Myspace folks gotten a friend request from lalaLaurie?
This kind of attention, I don't need!

i get all kinds of dumb request -- from people in bands to girls that say they "want" me only to be a link to an adult website.
I had to put you must leave your last name on friends request and that b.s. ones have stopped.

It's a myspace spam/porn/scam common occurance, and the thing that might eventually kill it.

A lot of female's put their age as 14 to make their profile viewable only by people on their friends list.
For instance, Summer's myspace page says she is 14, but we both know she is over 21.
Other females make their age 99. This keeps their profiles visible to anyone, but helps keep the creatons from searching for them with advanced filters that target 18-25 year olds. | | | |

Hmmm, not really, in fact to me she looks exactly like the kind of girl that would use the 14y/o ploy to get out of all the spam.

Yeah, I don't think she is 14.
But why would you add her if you have no clue who she is anyways? I'd send her a message and ask if you know her, or how she found your profile. | | | |

She looks 14 to me!
I would suggest you avoid this like the plague. Nothing good can come from contacting her. | | | |
