Whether you believe this is right or wrong, it is worth sharing with your teens.

Having Fun!
The problem with anything new, whether it's technology, a medical procedure , or anything else, is that the law keeps up as an afterthought.
The key is communicating with your teens and teaching them information literacy, which includes possible pitfalls & perils of using new technology devices.
Thanks for posting this heads-up!

Should this surprise anyone today?
I've seen what they text, imagine what we haven't seen so those pictures are no surprise. Many kids today are out of control and the media encourages it!
A child without parental intervention WILL be a disgrace to his parents.....

I was called by an administrator of my 13 year old son's Waldorf middle school a couple of months back concerning a cell phone video going around the school of a 7th grade femake students sexual rendezous. Evidently is spread around the school and unknown to me, had become an incident the school thought was "cleaned up". The story alledgely resurfaced when someone wrote about it on the girl's bathroom wall.
My son (the gossip - chip off the old block, I guess) was overheard discussing it with friends. The school searched his locker for a cell phone (I don't allow him to have one.)
The school told the girl was embarrassed and having problems walking down the hall. Her family was comsidering what actions they could take against other students, which I found laughable.
I've heard no more about it, but when I explained to my 13 year old the situation and to keep his mouth shut and be sensitive about the "story" - I'm certain it had the same effect as pouring gasoline on a fire.
Kids don't realize once they committ their indiscretions onto a digital media and share with even the best of friends - it is around forever.
My heart goes out to the little girl, but she has 2 options - learn to live with her mistake or move. Teenagers aren't known to be gentle or forgetful with scandal.
Folks, talk to your kids - I have a 13 year old and a 17 year old - they know SOO much more than I did at their ages. It is almost scary...

Wait, do you mean to suggest that people should face CONSEQUENCES for their actions?
Wow, how old school of you!

I do, but I really feel bad for the little girl. She's made a mistake, first in an adult action which he parents obviously do not approve. But then she trusted either the other participant in the act or friends she though she could trust. Quite a lesson she has learned. I wish there were more ways the school could get this "lesson" out to other kids.
With the technology they have at their fingertips today, I have a feeling this is only the tip of the iceberg.

She certainly learned a lesson the hard way. I agree with you that is sad. Some people's lives serve little more than to act as an example of what not to do, though.

At my club we have a bulletin board that we place the pictures of the "criminal(s)" and the report that states their crime info. I use this for 2 reasons:
1) To let the kids who did the crime feel ashamed of what they did. If they commit a big crime, they're usually banned. The other kids tell them that their pictures are up on our bulletin board.
2) So that the other kids can see them and know exactly what happened so as to not start any rumors. It works as a deterrent for some kids. They see it and I talk to them about making wiser decisions that these others have. I tell them that some mistakes can follow them for the rest of their life and some can end it.
Another problem I see is their own doing. I've seen sooo many of our teens pictures on MySpace (mainly girls) that are extremely revealing. They're in skimpy outfits and provocative poses. Anyone can download them and text them to anyone. So whose fault is that?....There you go.

Oh come on Pete...There's good in everyone, those kids weren't doing anything harmful, they're just being kids...because hugging them has worked so well
and some day they'll see nothing wrong with raping the girls in those pictures and having sex with 10 year olds...

I have told this same sentiment to many teens. I walk away from almost every conversation knowing they did not listen.
They look at our stories like we are trying to rob them of fun and they know what they are doing. Many learn by experience only.

My Brother's Place in Waldorf.What kind of club?
Looks like this place might be going bye bye if the Friday night attendance doesn't pick up again.
I'll probably be leaving there in the next few weeks or months regardless of what happens. Go-go has arrived and it's getting bad there...

Plus the schools are having Friday night activities now and the economy is down and the kids are tired of the teenage related drama and a host of other reasons....All the kids are going to Applebees and anything else you can walk in without a cover charge or ID.
