They don't think about the consequences because they're desensitized and used to attention. Kathy Griffin in particular was just trying to get attention.

Once something is on the internet it seems impossible to take it back. Unfortunately not everyone is as tech savvy as they need to be and advances in technology are so fast these days that it's hard to ensure people are taught to beware the various pitfalls. I am so glad my kids are grown but now I have a grandchild I do worry about how his parents can keep him safe from these issues. <br /><br />I'm not sure about whether the withdrawal of their places to Harvard is a bit harsh. I expect actual students probably get up to things that could warrant the same treatment. It would be interesting to know if they could apply again in a year if they could show they've learned from their mistake.Wendyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01103884780854638066noreply@blogger.com
