This video is honestly the funniest thing I've seen in years. This parent found a post from his 15 year old daughter on Facebook cussing and making this long speech about all the shit her parents make her do. Her dad, in this video, reads it out loud, comments on it, then puts like 6 BULLETS in her laptop! Craziest thing I've seen! Now this is an extreme case of what can happen when you post something without thinking on Facebook, and have your parents find out about it. But this video stresses an important point: Everyone reads your Facebook even if you don't always realize it. What would your parents think if they read some of your posts? My parent's still have rules about the things i can put on Facebook. No kissing pictures of me and my boyfriend, and nothing that shows too much cleavage. These are reasonable rules. Now a lot of us don't care what our parents think, but if you're still living in their house, you will get consequences just like that 15 yr old daughter did. Grounded till college. Facebook has a freedom about it that makes you think, "Oh, my parents will never see this. They're never on Facebook." But never be too sure. Be careful what you write on Facebook. It can turn parents against their kids, and kids against their parents too. Facebook can have some pretty negative impacts. Have you ever posted a status that you regret writing later on? Have you ever gotten in trouble regarding something you put on Facebook?
"Be careful about what you put on Facebook"
ReplyDeleteThere is more to worry about than just what your parents see. Employers aren't dumb, and they know how to make a search on Google to look up dirt on you. What you decide to put on Facebook should seriously be considered, especially if you are looking to get hired some time in the future. The things you post online can't easily be erased; triple think what you post on the internet.
This is hilarious. But yes, also kind of terrifying. Because, as Allyson just mentioned, Employers are not dumb. I have heard of so many people who have lost the opportunity of getting a job because of something that was posted on their facebook. Even though mine is super private and everything is hidden, I still get nervous when people post photos of me and tag me in them. Even when we think we have privatized everything possible there is still a good chance that there is some loophole. Facebook is a terrifying universe.
ReplyDeleteAllyson Fairchild that's a very good point! Employers esp. look for that to make sure you would be a good fit for their position and how you act. And yes other Allyson that's a good point! Facebook can be very terrifying and can cost you a lot of things besides just jobs :)
