As it was previously mentioned, one of the many individuals who could end up viewing your YouTube videos are your classmates or even school officials.  While we would all like to believe that our classmates are cool, not all of them are.  Should one of your classmates find a video on YouTube that they found offensive or poor in taste, they may report it to your school.  Speaking of your school, your school officials may even come across your YouTube videos, as many schools are now using the internet, namely social networking sites, to monitor their students and their activities.  Having illegal activities documented in your YouTube videos could spell trouble for you, in more ways than one.

 

When it comes to YouTube videos with illegal activities or threats documented in them, the consequences that you suffer, if any, will all depend on the school district in question.  It is not uncommon for school districts to suspend students that they find doing illegal activities, even if those activities were not committed on school properties.  Should you participate in extra circular activities, including sports, you have find yourself suspended from all sports teams or other school sponsored organizations, temporarily or even permanently.  In serious situations, like where threats against other students have been documented, it is not uncommon for the authorities to be contacted.

 

As you can see, there are serious consequences to not thinking before making and sharing your videos on YouTube.  All high school students, including you, are urged to think about your future, before using YouTube as a source of fun entertainment.
