Teach Your Children Well: How Quickly a Picture Can Spread

In my personal Facebook News Feed, I saw an image of a teacher's note saying, quote, " I am a 6th Grade Teacher in Oklahoma. My 12-year-old students think its 'no big deal' that they are posting pictures in bras or with their middle fingers in the air"... "show these kids how quickly your images can get around."

Here you are, Miss Bour... it got my attention, and, therefore, the attention of my whole listening audience.  Thank you for seeing a growing problem in the young community.

If you share a photo with a friend... they might upload it... and what's uploaded is NEVER GONE.

Take pictures wisely, my friends.  And, to the youth out there who are feeling pressured about sharing a risque photo... don't.  Just don't.  You are better than that.  If you want to charm your beau or impress your friends, send them a funny video of cats trying to play tennis... or something... I don't know; just don't send a picture of you in anything less than what you would wear to school, and what you would show your parents... because once it's out there, honey, it's out there, and you never know what random fella is enjoying your photo in a really familiar way, or what college is assessing you from a distance.

The choices you make now affect your future.  Don't be stupid.  I'm counting on you.
