THINK THINK THINK THINK THINK If you wouldn’t want your grandmother to see it, don’t write it, post it, or share it.

If you’re upset or angry, don’t write it, post it or share it. Cool off so you can think.

What goes on the Internet, stays on the Internet.

That includes email, facebook, instagram, you name it.
