* The first two MySpace privacy settings I want to tell you about are in the "Privacy" tab of the account settings page.
1. On the privacy settings page you'll see a whole bunch of privacy settings that you can change. Choose just how secure you want your teen to be.
2. If you scroll down a bit you'll see a photo privacy setting. Uncheck this box if you don't want people to be able to see your teen's photos.
* The rest of the privacy settings I'm going to tell you about are in the "Spam" tab.
3. Where you see "Allow non-friends to send me messages", uncheck this option. This will keep strangers from sending your teen messages.
4. There's another option to make sure anyone asking for a friend request enters their last name and email address. This ensures that your teen already knows people who want to be added as their friend.
5. Where you see "Only friends can add comments to my blog", make sure to check this option. This will keep strangers from adding comments to your teen's profile.
6. There are several privacy settings for things like group invitations, event invitations and IM invitations. Make sure to choose your setting for this too.
