The social phenomenon of personal Websites such as MySpace and Facebook is presenting new dangers and woes for high school students. High school seniors not only have to worry about test scores and extracurriculars for college acceptance, it may be what is on their MySpace page that determines whether or not they get in. Five hundred top colleges say that 10 percent of college admission officers look at MySpace and Facebook to evaluate prospective students. Some admission officers claim that they have rejected students due to material on personal Websites. “That’s not cool; they need to stop,” said junior Tyler Hofer after reading these statistics. “They shouldn’t be trying to trap kids into trouble.” Trinity teacher Mrs. Lisa Kelly supports universities who take a look at MySpace and Facebook and advises students to take caution, saying, “Sometimes I don’t think students realize who their information is going to and the impact it has on their lives.” Though these Websites offer a privacy setting, some students are neglecting this option. This is leaving the public with access to their Webpage and its content. Senior Robby Goodin said, “I really don’t care because if Uof K wanted to see my stuff they’d have to ‘friend me’ first, and I’d deny it.” “If you put pictures like that on MySpace, you are dumb anyway,” junior Joe Evans said. But some students are unaffected by this issue and have nothing to be concerned about because they only use the sites to communicate with their friends from time to time. Junior Spencer Holloway said, “I only have a few pictures and nothing personal about me so I’m not worried.” With colleges now adding MySpace and Facebook to their admission checklists, high school students need to be careful about the content of their profile. Safety is the issue, and while the privacy setting seems to be a logical solution, students can avoid problems by watching what they put on their sites. Senior Eric Voet said, “Students should be responsible enough not to put incriminating material on their MySpace.”
