Blogs: A Potential Source of Embarrassment
Introduction
Sharing personal thoughts online through blogs has become increasingly popular, especially among young people. However, what starts as an expression meant for friends can easily transform into public embarrassment.
The Rise of Blogging
Blogs are flourishing as spaces where individuals share their deepest thoughts, vent frustrations, or gossip, all within reach of countless web users. These digital diaries, often read by friends and acquaintances, encourage honesty. Sarah, a blogger from suburban Illinois, embodies this, sharing candid opinions on everything from her neighbor's dog to the Iraq War. She believes in absolute honesty since her readers are people she knows personally.
The Risks and Ramifications
Despite their appeal, blogs can lead to unintended consequences. Take Maya Marcel-Keyes, for instance. The daughter of politician Alan Keyes, Maya openly discussed her lesbian identity on her blog. During her father's Senate campaign, his anti-gay remarks turned her blog into a controversial public issue.
Such situations can spiral into dramatic incidents that might never have occurred without the individual becoming their own publisher on the Web. Moreover, posts about partying or dating can have unforeseen effects later in life. Steve Jones, head of the communications department at the University of Illinois at Chicago, predicts that past online entries could impact future political campaigns, noting it could emerge as an issue by the 2016 election.
Blogging Among Teens
Traditional blog sites like Xanga, LiveJournal, and MySpace have gained popularity, particularly among youth. According to the Pew Internet & American Life Project, nearly 20% of teens with internet access maintain their own blogs, and 38% read those of others.
Amanda Lenhart, a Pew researcher, highlights the growing awareness of blogging risks. She shares the story of a father who discovered his college-aged daughter's blog titled "The Drunken Musings of ...", sparking serious conversations between them.
Conclusion
Blogs, while a platform for free expression, carry potential risks. The line between private musings and public exposure is thin, reminding us to consider the long-term implications of our online words.
