    Everything you post online is real — and it doesn’t just disappear. Once it’s out there, it can last forever. Your social media activity is a reflection of you. That means future employers, teachers, or colleges might look at your posts to learn more about your character. So just like how you try to show kindness, respect, and responsibility in person, make sure you do the same online. Think before you post — and always represent yourself in a positive way. You've got the power to make smart choices, both in real life and online!
