On the issue of social media, I came across a rather colorful PNM twitter handle on the official Panhellenic Twitter account for a school. Am I correct in thinking "F word something b---h" is a really bad way to represent yourself, or am I just an old biddy?

Must be a troll, don't you think? No one could be that dumb.

Don't "underestimate" some people online. My daughter has a twitter and friends/acquaintances on twitter. I am constantly blown away by the things these young people say online to each other, to acquaintances, to the internet world. Rude, vulgar things that make me grateful the internet didn't exist when I was growing up.

Case in point: my daughter has a friend who comes across as the sweetest, gentlest young lady you'll ever meet. Well mannered, personable, exactly who you want your kids to associate with. She comes from a very good family and is pampered like only an only child of older parents can be. I came across her twitter and I thought I was looking at a spoof account because there had to be a mistake. My daughter confirmed it was her. She came across via twitter as a filthy mouthed little sk*nk combined with her posted pics of drugs, booze, and attire. I was blown away and not in a good way.

The example Missouri Ivy shared with us isn't a rarity unfortunately.
