that is what always get to me in these kinds of situations...
When I was that age I was a pretty screwed up person and yet I was always really careful not to do anything that might embarass my family...which means no pictures...I'm not really that much older than her...
I'll never get it I guess....

This is actually gonna work out perfect in my house....I have a 13 year old daughter that looks like she's 18 and I'm a nervous wreck everytime she leaves the house. The other day we had one of those family uproars because of a picture I found on her cell phone....As these things go, I would like to consider it rated "G", but what kids don't understand is not everyone out there has good intentions. My talk with her was more on the what could happen side and I know kids think parents don't know anything, but now with this hitting the news, maybe it will hit home for her.....Teenage girls are a father's worst nightmare.....

yes they are...and with good reason. Like I said I was a royal phuckup...but since it was so important to me not to disappoint my family or cause them any embarasment I did everything I could to maintain status quo...on the outside anyway...
As long as your daughter loves and respects you she will do the same...and the rest? well, perhaps you're better off not knowing.

I do not know how old you are, but they probably didn't have the resources that they have today. Polaroids were the big thing when I was a kid. But the whole world coun't see it with one click. What the hell was the internet. Just scary, girl makes a small mistake and now will be embarrassed for the rest of her life.

30...I had a video camera and still camera...and incidentally carried them with me everywhere at that time since photography was a hobby...I admit it was before the proliferation of info that we have today but it wasn't THAT long ago, late 90's

I am 34 so we are in the same boat. Even if you had a video or a picture back then, think about how many copies of the video or picture you would have had to make to get the exposure that this poor girl got in the matter of hours. Millions of people have seen these pictures now. How many copies would you have to pay for at Fotomat?

I talked about this with my mom because she was incredulous, as was I that people still don't get it.

It's not like it was 10 years ago when you could get away with this stuff. I'm not sure why people haven't caught on to the fact that anything you do can be posted for thousands (or millions) to see in a matter of minutes.

Things are not what they were when my mother was growing up. Heck, things aren't even what they were when I was growing up.
