Billy Ray Cyrus thinks Miley should reconsider quitting Twitter.
Shortly after the Disney star, 16, signed off the micro-blogging site because her boyfriend, Last Song costar Liam Hemsworth, doesn't approve, Billy Ray, 48, posted a plea for her return.

"Miley. You are light in a world of darkness. You were born 'Destiny Hope Cyrus' for a reason.You can't leave everyone now. We r countin on u," he wrote.
Shortly after, he added: "it is true one bad apple spoils the bunch". But listen to the words of your songs 'Stand... for what ya believe in'...Remember?"

An hour later, he wrote: "Words can hurt worse than bullets True.All the more reason to take this tool and tweet 'I'm comin to Chicago and askin kids to stop killin kids.'"
Miley -- who had more than 1.1 million followers -- posted her final Tweet on Thursday.
"FYI Liam doesn't have a Twitter and he wants me to delete mine with good reason," she wrote.
See what Miley looked like as a kid
The Hannah Montana star has used Twitter to support gay marriage, plan gatherings with Spencer Pratt and Heidi Montag and complain about her sore throat.
Her mom (and Billy Ray's wife), Tish, also quit the site, but Miley's sister, Brandi, and brother, Trace, are still active.
Miley's dad isn't the only star mourning her absence from the Twitterverse. Heidi Montag Tweeted Thursday afternoon, "@mileycyrus come back! twitter misses u!"
Tell Us What You Think
18People who twitter all day need to get a life, and do something constructive with it.
Twitter has got to be the dumbest trend I have ever seen! Seriously, it seems very high school! Go out and live a little rather than blogging everything you do. With the kind of money these celebs have, I can think of a ton more things to enjoy in life....
'Gummy smile?' I think Miley Cyrus has a lovely smile. As far as quitting Twitter it's no biggie..but....I don't think she should have quit just because her boyfriend didn't approve. Over something like this if she wanted to keep her Twitter account she should have.
She quit cause her boyfriend, and dad has a problem with that. Sounds like Billy Ray has a problem with the boyfriend.
What he should ask her to do is to stop pole-dancing and wearing skimpy clothes in public.
who cares if the silly girl with the gummy smile quits twitter? there're other stuff that are more buzz-worthy - definitely not THIS
ya I agree. she can do good without tweeting skanky pics of herself and writing about her stupid made up fights with her friends. we don't need to know every detail of her life. Too much miley already
A light in the world of darkness? Really, now..
who gives a rat's patootie?
I think it's wise that Miley left Twitter. Her father should not be encouraging her to return. She's only 16 and she shouldn't be posting her random thoughts to the world. She is not old enough to realize the consequences of her words and the pics she posts and how they can be distorted and used against her. For her own safety, she needs to curb people's access to her and regain some form of a private life in order to mature into a responsible adult. Youthful mistakes should be done in private, not for the whole world to judge.
This has always looked like quite an inappropriate relationship to me... They're totally banging. :X
This is oh......ridiculous yawn..............
because shes his cash cow thats why
Do they have family dinner? Because I'm sure he could have told her all this then... to her face.
wow, controlling BF much?
im just crushed miley cyrus left twitter. why is this a story? big deal
Why is a parent encouraging a 16 year old to Twitter and date anyway??? Let kids be kids...
Miley, don't let anyone tell you how to live your life. Think for yourself!
