Why do people do things they know are wrong and/or shameful and then post about it on Facebook and think it will stay a secret?
Do they not realize that Facebook is a public venue? Do they not remember that the people they are worried about knowing the secret are friends who can view the posts?
I have a friend, call her Tara, who doesn't want her family to know that she is dating. She posts on Facebook about her anticipation, who she likes, and what she's done. She thinks that she has kept her secret by replacing the names of her dates with types of food. The problem is it makes it seem like she is either using food as a euphemism for oral sex or that she is developing an eating disorder.
On other fronts, I have seen posts from teenagers who announce that they are grounded and then post updates on their success at sneaking out to do fun things. I will give kudos to two of this group for staying silent, but then I have to deduct points for being in the pictures posted on another friend's Facebook page.
