Think Before You Post

Think Before You Post
“Think before you post” on face book and other social networking website is such a dire warning to teenagers that even the President of the United States had to personally sound the alarm. President Obama warns children to be careful about what they post on face book because it can come back to haunt them later in life especially when they are looking for a job.

Teenagers can get overly excited when they engage each other on a social network such as face book and my space. It is not uncommon for them to put their personal information; however, the problem is that not only their intended friends see what they post, but also the friends of their friends. The friend of your friend can be your enemy. In fact, anyone can see the posting.

There are many wicked people who surf various social networks, and they would not pass up an opportunity to mischaracterize or distort texts or images of a teen on the internet. This can result in great humiliation and embarrassment to the teen, as in the case of Sarah in the video. The social network sites can be very exciting, but people have to be careful of what they post.
