Think Before You Post
If you are the author of your own blog post, article, etc. then you have some control. What I have been seeing is comments that are left to others – like on facebook and some of the other social sites. And for heaven’s sake – don’t be putting a picture of you on there that you will regret later down the road.
Unfortunately, I see this with many young and old people even – and I talking to the parents and grandparents that put their nude kids baby pictures on here. I have one question for you – when that nude baby of yours gets married someday and they have kids of their own – is this something that you are going to want them to see – their mom and dad all over for the whole world to see.
See back in our days, we shared pictures with close friends and then those pictures were put away and not seen all over the world day after day. The reason that I bringing this up is that I was chatting with a young gal the other day and it was heart-breaking to hear all the crap she had gone thru because of this – the sad thing is that even though the family member had taken the pictures down – they had gone viral and were everywhere.
AND while I’m on this got a few more rants here – all you young people that think it’s cool showing how drunk you got at your last party or the other cute things that you are posting for the world to see – it maybe cute now BUT think about it – someday you will be older with kids of your own, and your kids will have kids – is this something you want them seeing?
I know it’s easy to get carried away in the moment as I have seen some pretty bad things also said in comments about others – just keep in mind those comments are there to stay FOREVER. Forever is a long time – so please think before writing, think before posting, think before commenting, think before adding that picture …………….is what you are putting on here going to hurt someone you love someday.
Think About it
Watch these video and which says
Even President Obama warn young people about it…..

HI,
I absolutely agree with that. I see many things everywhere that is spoken on chats , social sites and cant help wondering why they would do that openly.It affects not only you but anyone around you.
Thanks for shedding the light on this very important issue.

Oh I agree Susie and it’s not just on facebook – it’s everywhere – people are just too fast to put stuff out there and just don’t think what the results maybe someday.
Its really a post to be worth reading by all. Specially for teenagers. I will pass to all my friends, thanks.
Nancy is an awesome lady and writer. Love reading her blog posts. This one is so appropriate for today. Our kids and families all need to read what you have here on your blog. We need to Think before we Post. Think before we Speak. Once Posted or Spoken those words are out there. Same with Photos and Videos. Thanks for sharing.
Oh thanks Kathy and I agree – with as fast as the internet is – once you hit that send button – it’s gone – there is no oops I changed my mind.
Thanks Anubhab and I agree – I hope everyone realizes how much this can hurt others
The President has dish up an advice related to practical life. In every wake of life, just think before you do any action.
This is a great article Nancy. People can often make the wrong choice about posting something on the internet.Not only can it come back to haunt them but can affect their lives, careers, and even school.
Oh I agree Ken and most just don’t realize this stuff is forever once you hit that enter and how fast it can go viral
This is something that needed to be said. Nancy I am so glad you brought it to attention. You have done an excellent job of covering all the bases. Thanks
Thanks Linda – I wish more could read this and be aware how this can effect people lives
Thanks for your comment – nice to know these things
Great post Nancy! Another related topic I would like to hear from you on is cyber-bullying. We recently had a discussion about this at my church, after some unflattering posts were made on my space that were very hurtful to the kids they were directed at.
Oh good one Lynn and yes you are right this is a hot topic also – thanks for the idea
So true Nancy. The things you say or do, does have consequences. Great Post
