Yes, absolutely.

Typically for meringue you want to beat the egg whites to soft peaks. Over beaten whites will sort of deflate and the resulting meringue will be tough. Sometimes you can rescue your over-beaten whites by adding another egg white.

A little bit of lemon juice or cream of tartar added to the eggs before beating will make them more stable.
