Pew Internet & American Life Project showed that 1 in 5 kids between the ages of 12 and 17 — about 4 million — keeps a blog. However, twice as many read the blogs. Anybody can read this information that is put up. Kids these days are posting very personal information that puts them in a lot of danger. There should be nothing posted that you wouldn't want the world to see or know, and I don't think everyone gets this.
On a website I recently read, it said that you should be sure that anything you write you are proud of, it can and will come back to get you if you don't. I found this very interesting, but right. In the future, if you were to be looking for a job, it might be possible for an employer to discover some immature things posted when you were younger. I'm sure that nobody would want this to happen, but it will if unnecessary things are written.
Since our class has just started posting and creating our own blogs and what not, there should be some rules so that everyone is safe. First off, there should be know personal information on any ones blog. Second, there should be know links that have not been read by the blogger. There are so many other things that should be followed, but I think that those are the most important. There should also be no discriminating or hurtful things on any ones blog. It's very important to be safe and keep yourself out of trouble. Blogging could be very dangerous, but if you follow rules, everything will be fine.
