Pause BEFORE You Post
Sometimes Forever is Bad!
I Wish I Could Take That Back!
Once you post something on the Internet you can't later say, "never mind."
It may seen funny or harmless but it could really hurt someone including you.
Ask yourself:- Will this be hurtful or embarrassing to others or myself?
- When I'm looking to make friends, or to be in a group like a team or a club, or even get a job, could this post make me look bad?
"This will be funny."
You're about to post and you think, this is so great everyone will think this is hilarious.
But wait a second.
Will I get labeled by this? What about next week when you're trying out for the team, or hanging out with friends will it still be funny? Is someone going to get hurt by this?
It's forever!
Once it's on the Internet there's no taking it back. If you're not ready to live with it for the rest of your life wouldn't it be so much better to just take a moment and make sure what you're posting is cool, legal, and something you can live with for the rest of your life!
