Losing Face on Facebook - True Stories
Students at Glen Ridge High School in New Jersey were shocked and confused when the news trucks rolled up to get the scoop on a set of Facebook photos. Obtained by a nosy parent, the pictures featured underage drinking that led to the suspension of school athletes. Many saw the role of the photos in the punishments as legally questionable, but despite organized protests and other umbrage, many students opted to just take their own racy Facebook pictures down as soon as possible. Live and learn, everyone -- just don't post visual evidence of it happening on your profile.

Interesting. A parent who is concerned about illegal underage drinking is painted as "nosy" and intrusive. Apparently some still believe its their God given right to thumb their nose at the law and do whatever they feel like doing. Lets just wink and ignore the fact that millions of lives are being ravaged by alcohol and drug use, and thousands become addicted every year. Most that do begin their path of descent while they are still underage. But gosh, its more important that as adults we be cool, and that the kids think we're "hip," right?

I happen to be a senior in high school, and throughout my high school education I've seen so many kids who drank alcohol and did drugs that thought they were the coolest damn things in the whole damn world. I still see it everyday. "Dude, I got so high this weekend, it was awesome." Newsflash. Alcohol and drugs ruin your life. What the hell is so awesome about that? You think you're too cool to give an effort in class. Well, you're not impressing anyone. And you still won't be impressing anyone when you never make it to college, wind up living with your parents at 40 years old, and have to work at McDonalds for the rest of your life because that's all your limited, half-assed intelligence is capable of handling. Yeah. You're really cool.

I agree 100% with the other comments, drinking and drugs WILL ruin your life and there is nothing cool about it and that Nosy parent could be the one saving someones life.
Too many people I know have lost their lives to drinking and driving and drug addictions and cool parents are nothing but enablers

Glen Ridge, thats the NJ town where those four football player students gang raped and tortured an underage retarded girl with a whiffle ball bat and other objects in the late 1980s. As I recall these "athletes" all claimed to be drinking. They all also did jail time. Nice to see things in good old Glen Ridge have not changed. Shameless.
