  • Set your page to private, don't add anybody that you can't be yourself around, and don't put an incriminating photo for your profile picture. Problem solved.

  • honestly, if you do something THAT stupid online, and then also leave it public, you really dont deserve to go to one of these prestigious institutions and there are a thousand (or more) applicants waiting to take your place.

  • @redshark618 its not that easy

  • Now-a days- Anything can be used against you! But look at the Bigger- Pictures!

  • Don't use Facebook. How easy is it?

  • @umenyanevsedoma Oh just the vid itself, I plan on using it as a refference for a speach for my communications class tomorrow

  • @Arrowstottle i don't know what you want me to e-mail you. Basically, it's never good to post hurtful / offensive things on the internet. Obviously, if you make your profile private, colleges wont be able to see what you post (unless of course they see you post on someone else's wall). Unfortunately, nowadays people swear a lot because it puts emphasis on what you're saying; however, if you're constantly doing it.... no emphasis anymore just vulgarity. :P

  • @umenyanevsedoma can you E-mail this to me?

    I would really like to use it in a speach for class tomorrow

  • because it's important!!
