Risking Your Future
Did you know..

• College admission offices look at your
  Myspace.com page to see what kind of person you
  are?
• College coaches check you out on Myspace.com?
• Employers search your Myspace.com page Google
  your name?
• Identity thieves have access to readily available
  information about you if they want it from your

Social Networking Tips

• Set Profiles to Private
• A/S/L
• Your photos are public domain once they are
  posted on the internet. You can never get them
  back.
• Cyber bullying is easy. Your enemies can use your
  photos and Myspace information to get back at you
  or make you look bad.

• Educate your younger siblings or relatives about
  online risks.
