When you put your pictures up from last weeks party or say something offensive in a comment you though that only your "Facebook Friends" would see, but you thought wrong. Colleges are now using social networks to weave out the applicants they no longer want to go to their school. This may sound extremely unfair, but it does happen. Why shouldn't they be allowed to view your facebook though, it you post a picture that is really incriminating or embarassing then maybe you should think twice before posting it online for everyone to see. Maybe you think that if you put up privacy settings on your facebook then only your friends can look at your profile, but once again you are wrong. Just because you have privacy settings does not mean that everyone can't see your facebook. Sometimes your friends on facebook will use incriminating pictures or anything else on your facebook against you for many different reasons. Like my friend who was in beauty pagents. She told me that other girls in the pagent wanted to win so bad that they would use their facebook and show the judges the competition just to eliminate them and further their chances to being the winner.
So next time you post that picture up of you and your firends drinking at a party, think twice because that picture can affect you in ways greater then you thought they could, such as applying to college.
