Are there images of you on Facebook and MySpace, drinking and engaging in lewd behavior? the party shot with you wearing the tiny ballerina skirt and tights is cute, but so is the one with you brandishing a whip and a shiny silver pair of cuffs; and the narrative is certainly no better, because it tells (in graphic detail) of all the raunchy things the pictures don't show (and there are many), but you are considered among the most cool and everyone wants to hang with you; you're invited everywhere. Besides, what's the harm in having fun? You're responsible during the week; you work in corporate America, draw a nice salary, exercise good investment options, have a 401K, yada, yada, yada. Yet you are a weekend warrior, and weekends belong to you. After all, you're young (maybe) and vital, and vibrant, and your fun is certainly not hurting anyone. Is it? Think again.

About Dr. Freeman:
- Dr. Charity Freeman:
- I have a deep and abiding respect of the written word. I have a Ph.D in English from the University of South Florida in Tampa, Florida, and I am also a certified online instructor (COI), and a Certified Faculty Developer (CFD). I currently serve as an English professor, teaching English 1101 and 1102, creative writing and literature as both hybrid and fully online courses. In addition to that, I write both fiction and non-fiction at every opportunity. I have been teaching online for the last 4 years, and I have transitioned a number of my traditional classroom courses to hybrid and/or completely online sections. I love teaching, and the online and hybrid formats allow me to focus more of my time and efforts on instruction and student interaction, and to engage a broader audience.
