As a student at Eden Prairie High School, I feel that the way administrators handled the Facebook incident was an invasion of privacy. However, everyone who has a Facebook page should know that whenever a picture is taken of you, it can and probably will end up on the site for everyone to see.

If you are drinking and posing for pictures, you are basically setting yourself up for the possibility of people finding out and, in turn, receiving consequences. Nevertheless, you don't have to have your own Facebook to have a picture of you on it.

So when, if ever, is it OK for school officials to use the site designed for high school and college students against them?

Underage drinking may be immoral and illegal, but I think that the media should not make it such a big deal. I also think that there is no real proof on many of the cases regarding this event. It is based on pictures on Facebook. The students' blood alcohol levels have not been analyzed, and they have not admitted their guilt.

I was disappointed and outraged by the Facebook fiasco at Eden Prairie High School. I highly respect the school for taking action and making sure that these kids learn from their mistakes. What angers me the most is that people at schools all over the Twin Cities are hearing about this event and may be forming misimpressions about Eden Prairie High School. I love going to school there and believe that although we may have some faults, EPHS is overall an incredible school.

The scandal at Eden Prairie about the Facebook photos should not be anything new for people. I am a student at Wayzata High School and things just like this are going on there. Drinking by high school students has been going on for decades -- everyone knows that some students drink.

The main problem with the evidence in this particular event is that the pictures are online. They could easily have been created by Photoshop or other computer photo-altering tools. These pictures are not necessarily the truth. And high school kids are not going to learn much of a lesson. Students who are going to drink are still going to drink. They are just going to have to be less stupid and not post those pictures all over the Internet.
