"It's not as if all teenagers wake up one day to be horribly embarrassed over their youthful postings."

She doesn't post. Facebook or myspace wouldn't work if you couldn't change it anytime you wanted.

I think, speak and act publicly, therefore I am.

Embarrassed by what I wrote in the past? Constantly! Just like those out of tune notes, you accept your responsibility and hope for the future improvement but never stop playing.

The Violinist.com Car Company doesn't need seat belts or air bags, just a sign on the door saying think before you drive. lol. Ralph Nader where are you? And you get your full license at age 13 with no driving test :) do you ever stop being embarrassed or regretful about the things your write or say? maybe less often, but from a teenager's standpoint, i know an whole lot of adults who also regret what they've said in the past.

also, teens without an outlet- like Violinist.com- and without a mentor-parents, or the adults on this page- grow up to say just as many embarrassing things as before.

live and learn...or so i think.

Ms. Niles, I agree fully. I am regretting some of the things I wrote in my violin camp blog. I am flattered that you put my blogs there...however. Thanks. At the same time, Brian, the people who run that camp should be accountable. I'm betting they improve a few things for next summer because of what you wrote. Again, well-put, Laurie.
