Also, alot of times when you tell them that what they post can affect real life, they kind of roll their eyes and say "whatever, that won't happen."

I think kids can benefit from actually seeing that the things you put out there can affect you in real life, whether it's with applying for jobs, going through recruitment, trying out for a team like DCC, ANYTHING.

Well said! And in one of my classes, my professor said that bosses can google your name for background information. So if you have any damaging photos that will ruin your chances at anything, take them down immediately! Also, clean up your profile and have an appriate e-mail address without any strong words or symbols in there (like the two numbers that look identical when you flip them). Because if someone googles your name and see something that is not right or if you have an e-mail address that looks too risque, then... you know what happens.

Just a mini-hijack.
