Sharing Isn’t Always Caring
Many high schoolers these days have twitter, instagram, and facebook. These accounts are a great way to keep connected with your friends. However, most high schoolers also drink, go to parties, and have a good time. But wait, do u really want your pictures and posts of what you did last night on the Internet? Think about who would see them; family, friends, employers, teachers, and other adults in your life.
There is no reason that your pictures from the party; with you and your friends can’t be posted. Why incriminate yourself when you and your peers are sloppy drunk? There is a strict difference between what is acceptable and what isn't. For example a picture of your friend throwing up with beer cans all around is a no. But one of you and your friends just simply standing there fully clothed and posing at a party is acceptable.

Future employers could see these posts and what would they think? What would your grandma think? I know that I am friends with mine on Facebook, and would be mortified if some of the pictures me and my friends have of each other would end up somewhere for her to see.
There is also the issue of posting while you are drunk. I can say first hand that I am able to recognize when my friends have drunk tweeted or posted. It is not as incriminating as a picture or video but they can still be harmful to your reputation.
Sadly our society seems to some what glorify this current trend. With twitter accounts such as @sunypartystories or @drunktweets, it is encouraged for you to brag about your party experiences.
I'm not saying don't have a good time I'm just saying watch where your pictures and posts end up, you never know who's watching.
