That title should bring some interesting traffic, yes?
I stumbled across this video on YouTube, or the youtube, if you prefer. What was of most interest to me was that it dealt with a local case of a teenager who sent a nude pic to her then boyfriend who, upon the breakup, sent the pic to fellow classmates. The girl committed suicide after months of harassment at school.

To add insult to injury, her parents are suing various parties, which I believe illustrates that I do not agree with what her parents are doing. Not only will it not bring back their daughter, it passes over an accountability that their daughter has in the situation.
Don't get me wrong...harassment is not okay at all, and I feel the school officials should have done more to stop the harassment. But I don't believe culpability for this tragedy should be placed solely on the student body and school. I've gotten the feeling from reading various articles on this situation that the parents are trying desperately to point fingers without owning up to the fact that they should have told their daughter that sending pics of her nudie bits would never have a good outcome. To me, that is common sense.
Unfortunately for the girl who committed suicide, school life is never one happy rainbow of friendship goodness. Other girls get mean and catty. That's pretty much a general. Hell, I've gotten more than my fair share of bullying growing up. If you were the first to start wearing a bra, you were tormented until the next school-age faux pas was committed to distract the attention away from you. A few years later, it was if you were the last to wear a bra. If you dared to trust the wrong gossip hound with who you were crushing on, inevitably that information would make the rounds and life seemed like it was completely ruined. But kids get over that shit as soon as they find the next thing they can tease someone about, and it always seemed that letting it roll right off stopped the teasing sooner than later. Humiliation is tough, but that is school. That is growing up. I don't envy kids now with their gadgets and social networking. Seems like it's all too easy to make the wrong move and open the flood gates to be picked on by peers. But these are conversations we as parents need to be having with our children. Just because a sex tape catapults a rather rich nobody into the public eye doesn't mean this is a formula to replicate. More often than not, it will end in a huge steaming pile of lost dignity and humiliation. And for crying out loud, I know how gossipy my high school was when I was growing up...who in their right mind would think for one nanosecond that anything like a naked pic would be kept confidential? That is a serious case of delusion.

I feel bad for the parents of this girl. But unfortunately suing people will not make up for their lack of talking to their daughter about the dangers of misusing multi-media and how you should never take any picture that that if there is the slightest probability of being intercepted. Hell, at least make sure you're not able to be identified in it.
