MySpace Mistakes.

Saw this on MSN. This isn't the first time someone got introuble for stuff they posted on MySpace. Habbs posted this. about a week ago. About a month ago, I heard a story on the radio about some kids who were were unable to compete in basketball after they posted pic of them getting drunk. (The Minnesota State High School League has a zero tolerance policy on alcohol and drugs.) In January I heard about some other kids getting in trouble for something they posted.

So why are so many people getting in trouble for stuff they post on MySpace? Part of it, obviously, has to do with the popularity of MySpace. But most of it because of the people who posted these pics and blogs. Somewhere in their mind they had to know that people were going to read this (the kid in the story I linked to even invited peple to read his posts.)

A little common sense goes along ways. Unfortunatly some people, such as the basketball players, think what they were doing was cool and didn't worry about the consequence

What these kids and kids like them need to realizes is that if they don't want people to know something, don't post it. It doesn't take a rocket scientist to realize that. Once people stop doing stupid stuff like this, then the world will be a lot better place.
