Here is one example and probably one of the most famous examples of blogging gone wrong. This is Ellen Simoetti or known as in her blogs "Queen Of Sky", she posts stories about her job as a flight attendant Delta Airlines and calls it "Diary of a Flight Attendant". She revealed the airlines information and took photos of herself posing inappropriately in her airline uniform, after a while she was caught and got suspended from her job. She tried to fight back but ended up being fired!
Mark Jen was an ex-worker for Google and also used to work for Microsoft. After 11 days at his new job for the most powerful search engine sites on the Internet, he was fired. On his first day of his job, he already was blogging all about it, blogging about the positives, negatives and comparing it to Microsoft. After being fired, he realised what he did wrong and apologised to Google but still didn't earn his job back.
Those are just two examples out of A LOT in the world, if you would like to read more about blogging gone wrong here are a few more examples you can read up on:

After reading this, you now know what could happen if you blog innapropriatly. Here are some of the things that I will try to do to keep my blog appropriate and school related:
I will not post any photos of myself or my friends.
I will not reveal any private information like my full name, my school, my adress, my age... etc.
I will not post anything not to do with school or anything a little off topic.
Hopefully you could follow these rules do making our internet a safer place and more fun and enjoying for others.

Sheryl, this is an excellent answer to the question of what can go wrong with blogging. Your writing is good, and you have clearly researched the subject. The two images, and the way they are laid out in the text add to the general effect. You might want to take some time and read through the text carefully, as there a few small errors (such as "your up to" instead of "you're up to").
