    It never ceases to amaze me that people put personal and private information about themselves on the internet. And teenagers are notorious for doing just that. I am a little guilty of this myself on Propeller but I feel the less others know about my personal life the more secure I feel.

        They should check out them, applying for college really is like applying for a job. AT least they should google the kids' names and maybe even ask them what they're user IDs are on facebook, twitter, etc. on the applicatino?

          Odd, anyone can set up an email account...then walk the account carefully, and make a President look bare and with animals for his sexual relief, and a College or University that would do this, surely would end up in the courts.
          Odd to that we all live in an environment like this...that the solution for everything is a fine or incarceration in a jail...not the correct solution...so if what I decribed about any president...ends in truth showing up???
          Know, we all need an individual identification...and the US simply will not give us one...as they do not know how to protect their own...but I do...
