6 tips for keeping your social media clean

Would you want your grandmother to see that? Or how to keep your social media clean

Now a days, everything is on the internet.  There are a million ways to be socially active on the inter web.  You can find out everything from who's cat took a dump outside to what Amanda did last night during her bachelorette party.  Some things however, are not meant to be shared with the world. 

Even if your grandmother was a progressive lady, be aware that everyone sees what you post to the internet.  Your parents, grandparents, employers, children, grandchildren, and future employers can see everything you post- forever.  Sharing is great.  I love seeing pictures of my friend's weddings, their kids growing up, and all the new members of my college sorority.  I do not like seeing pictures of my friends smashed out of their minds, with their clothes half off, doing things that they will regret in the morning. 

 Before it goes on social media, think about the effect it will have on you later.  

6 tips for keeping your social media clean
Always wait until the next day to post those pictures to your social media.
Is anyone in the picture a teacher or going to be?  Don't post it. 
Is anyone in the picture doing something illegal?  Don't post it.
Is anyone in the picture half naked?  Unless this is on a beach- don't post it.
Would the people in the pictures' parents be offended or disappointed in them?  Don't post it.
Could this affect the future job of someone in the picture? Don't post it.


A great night out can still be a great night out without sharing a million pictures on social media.  

Be careful what you post and be aware that the whole world is watching.
