Want to know what your teen is doing? Go to Xanga.com
Advertisements [?]
My son's friends are all members of Xanga. Just in our "metro" area, there are 750 teens registered, and a few adults that creep me out.

The kids post about EVERYTHING they do, from whose ass they're going to kick, to who they bipped over the weekend, to how much beer they drank or reefer they smoked.

When I was a teen, I had a journal, but it was PRIVATE--I certainly didn't want anyone--especially adults--to know about what I did on the weekend.

The adults on there--it's like they are moms who want to be in the "in mom crowd." They get all embroiled in the kids' arguments and even threaten the kids! One woman in the local "metro" even talked about her love for a "boy who is much younger" than her, "even though our love is not appropriate." (!!!!!)

I can't believe that other parents aren't reading those xangas and grounding the hell out of their kids. Before my son's first date, I'll know everything his date's ever done!

Have y'all ever looked at the xangas for your area?
