I could have changed the wording of the Tweet, so as to protect his identity instead of sharing a screen shot. That does show irresponsibility on my end. Hopefully, we both learned a lesson that will stay with us for a long time to come. A topic that has been brought up in several panel discussions, and one that I have also stressed to my 13 year old that was anxious to get a Facebook account as soon as she turned 13, is that anything you say and do online can come back to haunt you in the long run.

Your online image carries to your physical person, and what you say and do can affect your life either positively or negatively. Keep it positive!
