I am about to write an extremely long blogpost. Oh, and I don't know what I'm going to write about yet. So this should be fun. Recently, I have been slacking on my duties as a blogger. I have been posting short, infrequent, and uninteresting things. So I will try, at this time, to entertain you.
First, as you may have noticed, some of my most recent blogs have been about High Schools. I am aware that they are not very interesting to others, but it is something I want to (and need to) write about. I apologize to those who find it boring to read.
Secondly, this post will also be about High Schools, though slightly different than the others. Hopefully, it will be more interesting and enlightening than the others. I am merging my post about facebook and High Schools together. This is where the actual story/piece begins. Enjoy.
It has recently come to my attention that facebook is a very bad thing. A very bad thing indeed. Not only is it very likely to bring down you're grades, but it also gives High Schools and Colleges reasons not to accept you. First off, people can write anything that they want on your page. Sure, you can delete it, but how can you know who has already seen it. Then there are the fan pages. They are just stupid, and completely pointless. Some actually have some substance, and do some good to the world by raising awareness on matters hidden in the shadows. Others, however, are completely pointless and unflattering. It's best to not become a fan of something "unladylike" because facebook is an extremely public place. This leads me to my next point: Stalking. Now I am being completely serious. If you list what school you go to, random people can search your name and find out where you live. That is not good. Not good, I say. How does any of this have to relate to High Schools? Well, I shall tell you. Schools can stalk you, too. They can search your name, and see anything unflattering that you, or anyone else, has posted on your page.
So how to avoid this? It's simple, really. Do not put anything you wouldn't want your Grandmother to see on your page, and chances are, the schools won't think it's bad either.
I should be one of the "Dear Abby," people for the newspaper. I give such excellent advice. It's easier said than done, though. I must listen to my own advice (which I have been trying very hard to do) because it will take me far.
And with that, I bid you adue. (I don't take french, so that's probably not spelled correctly.)
