Think before you post... or blog

It seems like this Internet access is getting out of control for many people I know.
I don't understand why, but it seems that when students post information or pictures on their myspace page that they aren't aware that other people see it. Do they know and not care? Are they just not thinking? I have realized though that you can really tell a lot about somebody just from going to their page.

I have also heard many stories and know some adults who have written things on their blog that resulted in major consequences such as hurt friendships, and even getting fired from their job. I know you know this, but I am going to sound like a parent here and tell you to please remember to be careful when putting stuff out there for the entire world to see.

If you are a parent or youth pastor, take a look around at your students myspace page and see if there is anything for concern. You can learn a lot of stuff that your student would not normally tell you to your face.
