This is long overdue. In addition, I've counseled service members and job seekers to not only pay attention to how social media portrays them, but also to not be afraid in regards to talking to friends about the images and comments they post.

SPC Burns So true and employeers are looking. The things that you "friends" might post on facebook and you comment to can haunt you. Pick and chose your "Friends" wisely.

Many high school/college students have no idea just how they could impact their futures by simply posting on social media.
As a parent of two teens, I have access to their Facebook/Twitter accounts and I've disables one's Twitter account twice...may have to again soon. My one son is not a fan of me checking his tweets, but I tell him this..."I'm protecting YOU from YOU."

Well said. The shame with hindsight is that you don't learn the lesson until you've seen the repurcussions. He'll appreciate it later on.

I'm grateful mine is incapable of autonomy at this point, though that's not stopping his rampages through the house =)

I read it as, "Our youth will make mistakes and we'll educate them and forgive their youth indiscretions. Everyone deserves a second chance...especially when not criminal."

I think there is a bit of a difference between criminal activity and someone who posted an unpopular or immature opinion or comment online. I don't know that I would categorize every indescretion as being reject material.
