"You Can't Take It Back"

Have you ever heard someone say, "I put my foot in mouth"?  Do you know what that means?  Typically someone will say that when they've said something they should not have said.  It's one of those comments that you realize you shouldn't have said, but it has already come out of your mouth.  It's the realization that you can't take it back.


If the video doesn't play, click on the following link and then return to this page.

The boy in the video learned a valuable lesson.  Just like you can't take back something you say, you can't take back something you post...in fact, it's even worse.  After you post something, you lose control of it.  That's why it is so important to think before you post.

The boy in the video stated that he never would have said those things to the person's face.  He said he didn't even mean them.  It was just a joke...a game.  So why did he post them?

Maybe that's the test we should use before we post.  Ask yourself if you would tell someone to their face what you are about to post?

Remember, once you post it...YOU CAN'T TAKE IT BACK! 

QUESTION THREE:  Have you ever posted or said something that you shouldn't have?  Tell me about it.

Post something on the internet and want to take it back? It's ok it has happened to almost everyone. The point is just don't do it again.If it is something embarassing or inapropriate then don't post it.People shouldn't be seeing that stuff. If you post soemthing and want to take it back it's to late. So don't ever post something that you'll regret posting and if you haven't posted something embarrasing good for you but don't ever try it!!!

Adam Jones said...

you can't take it back after you posted so don't EVER post ANYTHING that you might regret like passwords, your adresses, or where you go to school at.

Bryck Morrison said...

If u post something bad about somebody, you can't take it back!
I've done it to someone before and I felt terrible i wish i never would have posted it. I said, something I thought was wierd, but ti turns out it was really bad. I almost lost my little brither for posting it. He was soooo mad but he forgave me and now we're still friends. If u ever post some thing bad you shouldn't because it can really hurt someone! You have to think before you act!!

VICTOR HALLER-CRUZ said...

Joseph Solt said...

Its like when you take a picture or post somthing bad on the internet. Once you put on the web you cant take it back. You can try but it wont work. SO DONT EVER POST AOMETHIN YOU WILL REGRET!!!!!!

Melissa Ault said...

If you put something on the internet you cant take it back.You shouldnt put anything on the internet that would metally or even physically hurt anybody. If you do so, you could get in trouble or you cold have something bad happen to you back ,like revenge.

kylee mayner said...

I never want to bully again because I know what they feel like now . thanks oficer sollomon for the blog to help people like me to under stand what others feel like.

Ashley Ann-Marie Johnson said...

When you do put spmething online you can't take it back. Nobody should do that even. When something is on the internet you cant take it back.If you won't do it in person then don't do it online.It is not fair to the peroson.You shouldn't rate somebody at all. trust me I have been in this position many times.

Logan ahlquist said...

i have typed something on the internet and the web page had a lot of dirty words on it and i got in trouble.never go on a website that you dont know or your friend told you about it have your parents aproove it before you go on to that website.

Katalana D. Cheney said...

I have done that before alot.It was about 3 years ago. I felt bad about it so I whent up to the people and I told them all that I did it to them they were mad at me one day but were my friends again the next. I told them I was sorry and that I wouldn't do it again.after that I did it again but not to the same people they did not go to my school but they raod my bus and I rated them I didn't want to but i wanted to act cool and be in the cool awsome group. I really felt bad about it.So i stoped and was in detention for a year.People who wantes to do rate people don't because one day it might be you who you're rating.

Alyssa Gabert said...

When you post something that you think could be mean you shouldn't post it. It can hurt someone even if you didn't mean to hurt them. Saying something mean to someone can effect someone elses life. You can't take it back. If you have ever posted something mean and regreted that you did you've probably learned your lesson already. DON'T POST MEAN THINGS!!!! Not on facebook not on ttwitter don't even e-mail mean things cause if you do you can't take it back.

Emily Enders said...

I said something once and i totally regret it im not going to say it but i was saying what i thought about some one else....... one mounth later they found out and i had to make it up to them by saying how sorry i was and turns out that is now one of my best friends, and every now and then shell tell me how hard it was to deal with her life when people were bulling her and they can never take it back.........

mya runkle said...

I was mad at my friend for something. I told her that I didnt like her anymore. Then i said sorry i should have never done that i should have never said that. it was to far i hope you can forgive me for the way that I treated you and i should have thought before i said that

sofia ambriz said...

You cant take anything back including when you say a bad word to your little sister. Ive seen shows of teenagers posting videos of someone thats embarassing.and when they come to school everybody laughs at them. so do never ever posts things up

Alyssa Gabert said...

YOU CAN'T TAKE IT BACK!!!!!!!!!

Emily Enders said...

Wow people of planet earth how can you be so self cenerd with that kind of stuff if u say something u CAN NEVER TAKE IT BACK it will allways hurt there feelings..... Maybe some people can never bye nice clothes as others, or if they have bad hair, knock it off because if you say some thing you can never take it back, they can commit suiside or something just one word can change one persons life for ever and can change it into a night mare......

kylinn peterson said...

Emily Enders said...

If you hurt some one congrats from making there life a nightmare or a horor movie, thanks

Alyssa Gabert said...

One time someone posted a mean thing to me and i felt like a nobody for atleast a month and then someone came up to me and said hi do u wanna be friend. That made my whole day. I felt like a brighter person that day.

Autumn Shinn said...

U CANT TAKE IT BACK!!!!!!! EVER

Alyssa Gabert said...

Some people are mean and some people are nice but some people can be straight up rude. You know one of these people then you know how they can be. Even the nicest of people can post a rude or inapropriate comment. What you don't get is that the internet is ruining our lives. DON'T POST SOMETHING YOU CAN'T TAKE BACK!!!! stop don't type and listen to officer solomon

Joshua Goodson said...

A lot of people that have posted stuff usually regret it for the rest of their life. So if you have DON'T DO IT AGAIN!!!!!!!!!

Bryck Morrison said...

If you ever post a mean thing online you might think you're a big shot for like a day but when other people read it they'll go like what the heck, that dude is a total jerk! Nobody wants to be friends with someone that has nothing better to do then pick on somebody else online. If someone is talking about you badly online tell a parent or a resource officer they will help you. I have picked on people in my past and I've been picked on. And for the rest of my life I will always feel terrible for the things I have done. If you say something online that you think is interesting or something, think about it for a moment before you post it! One simple act of kindness can change someones life or saying something bad about them can also change their life. Life is short make it as awesome as possible or when you're like "REALLY" old you'll go like wow "my life sucked!" So really just be nice. :/

Shelby Simon said...

No, and if u ever do you can't take it back! like my mom says once it's out there it is out there forever! :(

Katalana D. Cheney said...

Why post something on the internet if you can't take it back? It's happened to about everyone in the entire world. You just shouldn't do it again. If you post somthing you don't want to make sure that it is not inapropriet or embarrasing. I'm sure no one wants to see that stuff. If you post that stuff you can't take it back. If you have never done cyber- bulling goood for you don't ever try it!!!!!!

Ashley Ann-Marie Johnson said...

It is like a video on youtube. When you put the video or comment on the comments bar you cant delete it. It is there forever. You can make people feel rally bad. Just because you think it is really cool you can get into a lot of trouble for what you did and you would regret it. Remember how would you feel if ppl rated you online for being cute or not. Plus it is a very good way of your friends and family getting on th rate page too. You could even be put on there and I bet that it would hurt you to. If you wont do it in persont hen dont do it online i repeat that sentance because it is the truth and the truth may hurt but you need to hear it. More times than one it is the truth just because you rate doesnt make you popular it makes youstupid and rude.

johnny simmons said...

i posted and said something i shouldnt have and what i said is that my friend needs to go and screw himself and a week later i regreted it i asked him if we can be frainds again he said no i had to wright it in a letter what i said is dear sean im sorry i toled you to go screw your self can we be frainds again i wont say it again he said i'll tell you next week. its ok you got to give me a little bit of time to think about it my parets need to think about it. the next week they sait its ok but if i do it again im going to be in deep trouble

angel garner said...

you cant take it back when we all wish we could have a time michine to go back and rewind what we say...but sadley we dont have a time michine...if you dont think you should say or do somthing bad dont do it at all...its your choice and im not going to judge you...just take a few minutes and rethink...it will realy help...

Katalana D. Cheney said...

Hey if you ever have done something shouldn't have talk to your parents they can help you. If you don't want to talk to your parents then talk to your friend or your school oficer. But just to let you know someone will find out the truth sooner or later. So just tell someone. I hope you can have a great day after you tell some one that you did that to them. So make sure you tell on yourself don't blame it on your friend or enimeis cause you will get in more trouble so be carefull when your online cause you can't take it back.

We are the bears
We are the best!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

mikayla maxfield said...

I don't like hurting people but my friends and I were fighting and I they called me names and I was getting really mad and just before we got in a fight they told me there crushes and secrets and I posted all of the secrets and crushes on Facebookand everyone saw but then a couple days later everyone was going up to my friends and making fun of them and I didn't like it so i went up to my friends and tod them I was sorry and they forgived me but they shouldn't have and that's why you shouldn't post something that can harm others

abigail drexler said...

yeah i txted my friend one of my other friends secrets to her but i didnt think that my other friend would find out that i told her so i told my friend and she ended up finding out so i felt really bad so i didnt talk to my friend for a while when i finally said sorry she forgave me even though i didnt deserve it but we are still are friends so ive learned not to tell my friends secrets so you shouldnt either and if your friends forgive you when you dont deserve it you should be thankful that they are still your friend because they dont have to be

peyton niendorf said...

Christopher Anderson said...

i acedently posted soomething on facebook that really regret now the whole school knows i guess i have to deal with the consenquences...

Austin Stearns !!! ROCKS said...

yes i have i have said quite a few things that i wish i could take back like one ive told my dad i hated him because i was mad at him for not letting me keep my guinea pig and ive told him im sorry many time but i still feel bad no matter how many times i say it so when you say something or when your about to say something stop and think "should i really say this" because once you have said it there is no taking it back the best thing that you could do is not say anything that will hurt someone else at all as long as you dont say anything bad or harmful you wont have to regret it

If you say something bad to a person they get mad then something bad might happen.If something bad happens one of the students that see the fight or if they start pushing eachother and look mad one or more students would tell the teacher that something bad would happen.

yeah i have when i was on face book there was something that every body thought that was cool but than once i read it again it was not so cool after that i found out who got my face book stuff and i was not so happy. after that i commented in the post and said that it was not true so people commented back and was like yeah we know it was not true so they all said that i was not like that and i would never do such a thing so the person who posted took if off and now every body on facebook are better friends with me so thats why i never post something that you cant change or you will regert it for a long time thats what i think about posting stuff that you cant remove :(

logan butcher said...

no i have not but why would you it is mean and it can hurt some one elses feellings you might lose a friend you jgust might lose a true friend and that is just not right

Slade Wageman said...

That is true beacuse see if you told someone a bad thing and they end up dieing then you will regret that now that you have said it. Its kind of like rachells challenge she was a good person and always nice to otheres and it all happened when these kids were getting bullied and they couldnt take it anymore so they took it out on everybody else. They brought guns to school and they shot alot of people. rachelle and her brother got into an argument and her brother said that he hated her but he didnt really mean it and now she is dead and he can never take that back.

M&M said...

its never good to say or do something on the internet that isnt true or has ever happend. it leads to worse things then rumers. what you did will always sick with you and you can never regret on what you did.
