Facebook Posts Costing Some Students College Opportunity

I think it is wrong for colleges to check applicant's Facebooks for more information on them. Facebook does not always show a clear picture of a person's actions. Many posts and photos can be taken out of context. Checking a Facebook profile tends to negatively impact the applicant's image and chances of the school accepting them. A Facebook profile can also hurt someone applying for a job.
Young people tend to not be aware of the fact that what you post online is out there for the world to see. Many do not understand that their image and reputation can be destroyed because of a single picture or video, or a hacked status update. People of all ages need to learn more about being safe online so they do not hurt themselves in the long run.
