Reputation

Once someone damages their reputation it is on the Internet FOREVER!  Things internet users believe are private to them are really visible for the whole world to see. After you post something on the Internet anyone can get ahold of it and even if you believe you can delete it, others may have saved it on their computers or on their accounts. Someone that damages their reputation through the Internet has a difficult time changing how others view them. It is better to prevent damaging your reputation by not posting something you would be embarrassed of others seeing.
