As the most active users, adolescents may be tempted to share their personal liveson social media without fully understanding the long-term consequences. The author makes suggestions on how to help teenagers make wise choices when they use social media, maintain positive online persona, protect it from potential damage, and even further strengthen their online reputation.  \nWhen high schools employ social media as a way to implement teaching activities, the students use social media in their self-learning. Teenagers tend to be fast learners about technologies. However, as they become more involved in online communication, their teachers have reason to become concerned about issues such as cellphone addiction and falling grades because of computer games, misuse of iPads in classrooms, and so on. Adolescents’ online reputation damage and the reasons for it are the problems that we need to address.  \nProblems Associated with a Negative Online Reputation  \nThe consequences of online reputation damage can be serious. Online reputation damage can have a significant negative effect on students’ college applications, job applications, career development, and self-identity. Personal information can easily be obtained by using search engines and, to a certain degree, conclusions about individual applicants’ personalities are made by employers looking online (Brown & Vaughn, 2011) . An increasing number of employers use profiles and postings on social media to select potential employees. Postings on social media such as Twitter can accurately show a person’s tendencies or personality (Orehek & Human, 2017) . Employers view applicants’ profile information and postings as supplemental information to resumés before interviews. They may also view candidates’Twitter remarks after interviews, in order to see further comments made by candidates about their interviews (Higginbotham, 2017) . Several Canadian medical schools check students’ profiles as part of the admission procedure (Law, Mylopoulos, Veinot, Miller, & Hanson , 2016) . Any negativity, bias, cruelty, lewdness, or rude social trait can be displayed to the world online. Therefore, fully understanding the importance of an online reputation is urgent for our students.  \nOnline reputation can be damaged by clumsy language usage, inappropriate words, personalities revealed by online messages, and misbehaviour. Profiles and postings with spelling and grammar mistakes may affect job interview impressions (Higginbotham, 2017) . Other ongoing postings or messages that are closely associated with personal lives can truly present a person’s personality and values (Park et al. , 2015) . Misbehaviors online such asswearing, bigotry, nasty pictures, and sexual insults, or posting negative accounts, could prohibit job hunting and college applications as well (Van Ouytsel, Walrave, & Ponnet, 2014) . However, many adolescents post their comments without apparent concern for the consequences. Some teenagers have been suspended (Cambria, 2012) or taken away by police (Bernardo, 2017) because of statements on social networking sites. These suspensionsand arrests will inevitably have a significant effect on their career lives, but students often do not fully understand the power of words on social media and the damage that can bring to their and others’ lives.  \nAnother underlying reason is that teenagers seem determined to share personal information and can be unaware of the dangers and long-term consequences of oversharing.  \nResearchers found that 73% of adolescents use social media every day (Van Ouytsel et al. , 2014) . The most popular social media they use are Facebook, Twitter, Instagram, Myspace, and Tumblr.
