It's really more of a social problem and a "kids today" problem than anything else. I think schools and parents need to do a better job of hammering home exactly how damaging a bad Facebook page can be.

And bottom line, if a girl is out of control enough to be a risk management issue it's unlikely actives need facebook to see that. She'll give herself away before getting a bid.
All of this!


I was having this conversation with a sister who now is in the PR business the other day. We both said that our facebooks don't represent us. Many of my pictures are at bars/parties because that is where people take pictures (there are other photographic moments, but for this thread's purpose). If it represented me I would have ten times the amount of pictures showing me sitting in sweats watching tv, but few people take pictures like that.
