Should I tell my parents my brother has a facebook/myspace?

wtf..no he's you brother you have to trust him. plus he's only 13 with do you think he's doing.

I've had a myspace since I was about 12, I would say you should just get a myspace instead of having your parents snooping on him. And you said he's a smart kid, it would only be a problem if he was trying to meet people on it, but these days more people just have them to talk to there friends so I wouldnt worry too much, and if you do just get one yourself lol. Good Luck!

The internet is safe for kids 8+ if their parents teach them about internet security.

1. Do not post pictures online
2. Do not post your last name online
3. Do not post your address, name of school, phone number, landmarks (in your city) online.
4. Do not post information about your siblings, parents or friends online.
5. Do not give out your passwords to anyone else.
6. Ask permission or research about any program you download (before you download it).
7. Make a new e-mail and new IM address for online friends. Do not give out your personal e-mail or im to people you meet online.
8. Only use webcam with people you know offline.
9. Try to only add people to your facebook/myself that you know. Avoid adding complete strangers unless you had a conversation with them beforehand.

My parents taught me those when I was 10. If anyone follows those 9 rules, they will be safe online. By the age of 13, these should already be registered in your head.
