While social networking can be a great and amazing thing
people need to be careful with it. Most
of the time people don’t care about the little privacy options they have to
protect themselves until it is too late. Most of the time people just post
whatever they feel like and have no fear of any possible repercussions they may
face due to their actions. It is all the more amazing when people post rude, provocative
or other horrible comments and they feel that since it was just a post on a
social network site that it doesn't reflect their attitude in the least. Now I
am not saying that every now and then someone has a God awful day and they say
something on accident they might regret or in a moment of anger. I am referring
to the people who continuously do stupid things and expect to be fine because
of it. Over the years, there have been some advances in the way the police see
technology. Heck because of the lack of sense that many people have now days,
they post their own doom in a sense. Whether its college kids taking photos of
themselves drinking alcoholic beverages and posting it for everyone (including
the school) to see or people running from the law and bragging about it. The
lack of common sense never ceases to amaze me nor does it cease to frighten me.
I myself am very careful with everything I do as I don’t want anything to come
back and haunt me in the future. If all teens attacked social networking with
something similar to these thoughts then they would have nothing to worry about
and fear no possible. However kids will be kids and continue to post stupid
things from time to time. But even adults do this to so it is hard to say if it
ever really gets better over time or just gets to the point where it is not as
bad. So the next time you are thinking about posting some horrible photo,
status, or any other possible thing take a moment and think about the possible repercussions.
