Social networks are a big part of nearly every teenager's life in this day and age.Many teens have QQ,WeChat, or Weibo but little do a lot of teens know that they can be held responsible for everything they post for the rest of their lives.Everything you post online is part of a digital footprint that can always be traced(追踪)back to you.That includes every post,even like,comment,favorite and forward that you have ever committed.All pictures you've posted or will post have been stored in a digital database,and it is the companies' right to keep all of these documents that you believe to have been deleted or hidden.
With every post comes a consequence;whether it is good or bad,what you post could be seen by anyone.That is why you have to be very careful of what you decide to post or comment.
If you think you are safe from Servite finding out about one funny comment you made six months ago on a meaningless picture,you are probably wrong.Recently,a senior,Aaron,at Servite learned this lesson the hard way this year.He wrote a series of ugly comments towards Connelly girls on a web page,ignoring potential consequences.
This student,however,did have to face consequences from Servite as he was removed from all of his leadership roles in the school.Surprisingly enough,he fully agreed with his punishment handed down by the administration and fully understood why he was given such severe discipline(惩处)."When you agree to come to Servite,you are agreeing to defend what Servite stands for,"the young man said."That continues past the hours of 8 am and 2 pm.It's at all times."
So,next time you're about to post something you think could be received as offensive or inappropriate,think twice,think again,and don't press send.

In our everyday lives we meet situations in which we take many things for granted(不去重视).We only treasure things when they are gone.This is a sad truth of human nature.One day,I found myself as a witness to a similar situation.
One evening,I left work and boarded the train.After entering,I noticed something unusual.The center of the car had a few empty seats while both ends were crowded with people standing.I didn't pay much attention and sat down on one of the empty seats.I sensed a funny smell.It wasn't long before I noticed a homeless person sleeping on three seats in front of me.He was bleeding from his nose.Why wasn't anyone helping him?
His clothes were torn and he was giving off a strange smell.Along with the smell,his eyes were dull,watery and red.Occasionally he scratched himself and people looked at him as if he had committed a crime.As the train stopped at stations and more people came in they covered their noses and faced away from him.All the seats around him were empty.
Suddenly,he began to swear at the people around him.A plain clothes policeman who looked like a construction worker took out his certificate and showed it to the homeless man.The officer,not wanting to touch the homeless man, told him his rights and directed him to exit the train.As the officer walked the man out of the train,the homeless man turned around and said "MY HOME!" and started crying.
A man doesn't value things until they are gone.If he didn't have a home,at least he had freedom.Now he has neither.No one wants to help someone who won't help himself.

When I went home yesterday evening, I saw a little cat laying in the middle of the road. It seemed very hunger and it was also in greatly danger, because there were many cars, buses, and trucks on the road. I showed my sad to it and asked my mother whether I could bring it home as soon as I arrive home. While she was afraid that the cat was dirty, but she agreed. However, when I got out, the poor little thing was not here. I was told that it had taken by a warm-hearted person. I breathed a sigh of relief. It is known to us all, animals are our good friends and we should care more about it.
Good evening, everyone! It is my honor to be here to share something with you. Today my topic is “Stop 1.(choose) merit students(优秀生)”.
There is no doubt 2. choosing merit students may inspire some students to learn from those models, which make many parents happy, for they always attach great importance to their education. However, this way has its 3. (weak). As we know, the students are still young, and choosing merit students may be 4.
(harm) to their mental health by sorting them into good students and bad students. So it
5.(obvious) doesn’t benefit them in health. At the same time, teachers are always 6.(drown) in teaching, thus ignoring their virtue and PE, which does more harm 7. good to the growth of students.
As a matter of fact, what is more important is that we should take measures to enter their minds to find 8. they are thinking and desiring. Only in this way can we really find an effective method 9.(guide) them at school. Everyone may have a balanced 10.(develop).
That’s all.
Thank you for listening!
