My parents will be so mad. When you search me up on Google it doesn't come up. But when you search my best frieend up you can see my name and it comes to my page. This is only because I used to have "formspring" and so I'm first on her page... if my parents search her and find ut I will be in so much trouble :'( I want to get myself off!
How please help me. I quickly disabled my account but I'm still there! All my privacy settings are high on all my other aaccounts just ecept for formspring. Pleasee help me. How do I get myself off the internet
Thanks so much xx please reply

You can try contacting formspring, but once on the net its almost impossible to get off.

I;m so upset. Do you think I can contact formpsring and ask them to take me off without my parents knowing? Thank you so much.. ive already disabled the account. Is that better? :(

Hello,
Ok so I restored my account. Deleted all my history. Changed my name/username/email address. Changed my profile settings to high. Deleted who I'm following. Im so scared please help me. Ive deleted everything. Im trying to get to the webmaster.
Even though I've done all this if you seearch up my frined I'm still top of her list even though I chaned my name! :'(

Then its her page that's indexed. I would stop worrying so much. There is not much at all you can do. The page has been indexed and likely cached. Live with it and take a lesson from it.
What part of seeing that page will make your parents so mad?

You have learned a good lesson, and honestly if there is something there, parents, or even in 10 years a boss may see, don't post it.

Things stay on the internet often for ever, there are sites like "wayback" and others that at times takes a snap shot or copy of web pages and saves them, with no way to delete ever.

I have pages out there of long closed and erased web sites that will be able to be found forever.

Don't forget, you are on here too if that is your real name. It WILL come up in a Google search.

Like I tell my daughter... don't EVER post anything on the internet that you don't want the whole world to see. There is pretty much nothing you can do to change it once it's there.

To everyone,
Luckily it isn't that bad. It just says my name... and I didn't actually say anything "bad" so it's not the worst case... my parents just don't want me to be on the internet :/ and I really understand why now.. I'm emailing the webmsater now.. do you think they can take it off?

Oh.. also do you think I can talk to the webmaster withoutnmy parents knowing? And what do I say! Thank you so much. *And no this isn't my real name*

Most likely no the webmaster will not do anything. Sorry, but they will just not even blink, ignore your request since there is no reason to

Say if they don't igornore it and take it off. Will they tell my parents? Like can I take it off without anyone knowing?

Oh no, I'm so upset I'm on Google images too pleas ehelp me :'(

What does that mean? What's linkden? I just ussed formpsring.. is that the same thing? I emaield the webmaster.. he ssaid it has come to his attention and hs going to look into it. Does that mean he's going to take it off? :D

Audreylove is wrong. You are not on LinkedIn.

You'll have to wait for the webmaster's answer.

Yes I'm not on there. The webmaster said he;d look into it... Does that mean he's going to get them off??

No, it means he's going to look into it, whatever that means.

Ok.. :ssssssss

And you are going to calm down and not be stressed because you know what happens when you get stressed, right? Xx

Yes, OK ill just wait for his reply :S :) xxx

Hello
I just checked the email thingy to the webmaster. And it used to say "this request is being updated" and now it says "this request has been solved" but I looked myslef up and I'm still there... does that mean they are ignoring it? They said in the email they were loooking into the matter D:

Taylor, WE have no idea what that site will or won't do. We have no connection with that site. All they can do is remove your info from their site. That doesn't mean it will come off search engines immediately. It may take time to do so. You need to clear your cache before checking again.

But you also need to stop stressing. The site will not contact your parents since they have no information on how to do so. Also just having your name show up on a search, in connection with someone else, is not a big deal. You had no control over what your friend did, so your parents can't blame you.

Okay thank you so much... Phew... Um how do I clear my cache and what is it? :o

On Internet Explorer go to Tools> Internet Options and clear your Browsing History (may be somewhat different depending on what browser you use).

Im using chrome. I know how to clear my history if that's it right? Im just wondering what has clearing the history got to do with things? :) thank you so much!

Not only history. When you search the web, the pages are downloaded to your computer and stored in a "cache" file. When you try to go back to a page, it looks first in that cache file for the page. So what you are seeing may be the cached page, not the current one. By clearing the cache it will go out to the Net to download the page again.

Oh! Ok... so I should clear my history every now and then. Thanks so much! You really helped me. :D

To audreylove:
I don't have a linkedln profile I don't even know what that is.. :o I was concerned on my formspring links showing up in Google... now I'm using the Google webmaster tool to get rid of the URL... theyve gotten rid of one link already. And I'm trying to get rid of the others if it works :S
But thanks for answering :)

No you didn't understand the question correctly and Taylor was very clear. The site he is having an issue with is Formspring. LinkedIn was never mentioned. In fact, after you first responded in Post #14, you were told twice that LinkedIn was not involved.

Please read the questions more carefully. Especially in this case. The OP is young and upset, by throwing in a different site, you have made the matter worse.

To ScottGem:
Thanks for telling her! :D Do you know how to delete a Google image? D: I don't know how... do I contact the formspring site? Thanks!
