[LM_NET] TAR: Consequences of social networking sites

[Lisa Weinstein <lisa.t.weinstein@GMAIL.COM>]

Hello,

I'm doing a lesson with 8th graders next week about social networking
sites.  I'm focusing on how anything you post is permanent and how a profile
presents an image, and you want to keep that image positive.

Another focus of the lesson is about the consequences of posting
information.  I'm looking for newspaper articles or news videos that tell
about a person, perferably a teenager, who had to face consequences after
posting information.  I'm hoping for one news article about how posting
information online could affect each of the following:
-school
-college
-scholarships
-police
-employers
-parents
-internet predators

Any chance anyone has links to news stories?  Anything you can offer would
be great.  I will continue to do some searching on my own, but I thought I'd
reach out in case anyone knew of anything off-hand!

THANKS!
