Abe Lincoln has many great quotes, one that I use when talking to young people about etiquette and protocol is: " Character is like a tree and reputation is its shadow. The shadow is what we think of it; the tree is the real thing."
Technology is evolving rapidly and our young people have little or no boundaries when it comes to what the guidelines are when texting, posting profiles, email, Ipods, cell phones, laptops....etc
What happened to manners, common courtesies, and the "golden rule"? Where or where did our young people go a stray?
