 * Guidelines for Social Networking: from this [|__site__] **
 * Many of you have Facebook accounts or use other sites for social networking. However, it is very important that you are careful and respectful with your interactions on these sites. **
 * Follow these rules while on Facebook: **
 * Be careful what you post and send. Everything is traceable in cyberspace. Words and images posted on the internet are permant and many students get themselves into trouble by posting without thinking.
 * Be polite and respectful. Cyberbulling is more harmful than ever, and many people fall into depression or worse due to mean words posted on the internet. Do you part to prevent this.
 * Monitor your privacy settings. Make sure you are not giving information to strangers. Be careful who you accept as friends. You have a responsibility to monitor this in order to keep yourself safe on the web.
 * Do not use foul or inappropriate language. Not only does foul language make you look bad, it can also result in the cancelation of your account. Just because you see other friends use this does not make this OK. Be sure you keep your posts clean.
