Think before you post. It is very easy to post a comment or photo in anger or frustration. By the time you remove it many people have seen it and the damage is done.
Think about what is and isn't OK to say in a post or tweet. Remember that messages online can be misconstrued and misunderstood. What starts out as a joke can escalate quickly and can't be taken back.Online friendship: only add people you know in the offline world. Think about privacy settings.
