The potential consequences that could negatively impact her future are (a) A college admissions officer could see it when she applies for college in a few years and (b) a potential employer could see it when doing background research for a summer job she applied for.

Explanation: (a) Sometimes when we are teenagers we do things to be popular or part of a group without measuring the consequences . It is important to think that nowadays all the material we upload to the internet will remain there forever and could be a problem for our reputation later when we grow up .

We should be aware of what kind of material we post on the networks and how we want others to look at us , in this situation to get hired.
