This stupid decision made by her ex-boy friend would lead to the constant harassment by her classmates. She would later commit suicide because of the pain she suffered.

I can't help but feel terrible for this young woman who had her whole life ahead of her. Can someone tell me why so many people are willing to suffer at the hands of fools just because they want to show love for the wrong person? This young woman was so young and immature in terms of the real love couple feel for each other.
To answer your question, I think it's because shame, pride and self-respect are on the wane if not altogether gone. Some examples of culprits: Jerry Springer Show, media focus on Britney Spears and Nicole Hilton - role models? Many girls just let it all hang out instead of prizing virtue -- discretion, mystery selectivity. Old fashioned? Maybe. But you'll get more when you hold yourself in esteem.

Young girls are never going to stop trying to get the guy, because in their young minds they see him as a ROMEO. What they never see coming is that ROMEO is actually Dr.EVIL. If he were a good guy he would accept the picture and delete it from his phone promptly. But since he wants to hurt her, he spreads it around just to humiliate her. Thats not right!
No it isnt right but it is human nature to look at others nudity and to share it and to joke about it. When I was an undergraduate, one of our professors went on a trip with some grad students, the professor got drunk and passed out naked. Of course some of the students couldnt resist the photo op and of course passed that pic around.

When did it become acceptable for underage kids to be giving nude photos of themselves? And what makes them think something good will come of it?

I agree that children (boys and girls) don't what's best for them. He shouldn't send the pictures to his friends, but if she hadn't sent it to him, he couldn't have redistributed it. She should have taken responsibility for her role in the picture getting out.

I dont think these young girls want the whole school to see these pictures. They send the picture foolishly beleiving that the guy is a trustworthy guy. Giving a guy a picture is not a problem for mature people. Its the young guys who are too irresponsible to accept these pictures as gifts from overly trusting young women. If adults dont tell them the basics about respecting women then they never learn. They just go through life thinking they have the right to hurt others in any way they please just because they can. If the parents arent teaching these kids the basics, then there needs to be laws set up so they dont go around destroying young girls lives. And many do destroy these girls lives because everyone in the school might harrass them. So they end up switching schools or having LOTS of personal problems.

Most young people simply don't think. The funny part is that if a minor takes a picture of themselves it is consider child porn because under 18. So child porn laws kick in. I saw a video on youtube about some kid who was getting tried for child porn because a girl sent him a pic of herself to him.

I keep reading young girls don't do ??? young girls don't know ???

WTH. This is not a gender specific problem. Young men are sending around glory shots of their junk too.

If you feel like you have to have a cell in your kids hand, buy them the one that can only dial like 4 preset numbers, house, mom cell, dad cell, 911.

I've always thought its an unwritten rule. If you send it to a person, its another way of saying this is for you only (as you are the only person I have sent it to). I put far more blame and the guy who forwarded it to all those people. Complete lack of class IMO.

haha 2mares I kinda get your point but really there is some sick stuff that gets sent around. I never want to look at a nude shot and have to guess is she legal. I have had to be an "expert witness" several times on cases of peeps with pics on their work comps, or stored on the work server. Man that is the worst thing to have to sit through. I wont do it again. It is not worth the money to have to see that stuff. With some of the images you can track where they came from and identify they are BAD, then again some are home taken and passed around so you have to view it.

I was coming home and telling my boys all of the stay away from strangers and don't go anywhere with anyone I have not said it is ok.

OMG I don't even like to think of it.
