Feminists

Once something is on the internet it's on there forever.
Not everybody is going to respect people's rights & privacy.

That's why I wonder how parents will be able to truly keep their kids from the dangers of the internet.
Just stopping the behavior in your house is not enough.
Kids WILL find a way when they're not under your supervision.

When girls go through puberty, they start experimenting with their sexual appeal.
In these days, they take pics on their webcam & pose in different ways trying to find their best look.
Making smooching faces, making 'sexy eyes' poses, showing off their body.
It's biology. Part of the programming. Part of the instinct.

That's all well & good but when the internet is involved, any sending of picture or video online can come back to haunt a girl.
It's no longer private once you post it on the internet.
Web 2.0 makes everything even WORSE because of the higher connectivity & ease of communication.
Cell phones with camera/video functions make it even easier to transmit pics/videos on these supernetworked Web 2.0 platforms.

It just takes ONE time & if somebody get ahold of that pic or vid, they can copy it & repost it indefinitely.
Remember, kids are not known for their good judgment.

The pervert had no right to stalk & embarrass her but that's who's out there in anonymous internet land.
Everybody is not responsible with people's information & won't think twice about the ethics of what they do.
The society has become voyeuristic. Kids really need to understand the dark side of the internet.
You can't shelter them. You gotta teach them about consequences & how to weather storms.

This girl shouldn't have died from something stupid like this.
She didn't have the knowledge to weather/counter bully behavior & didn't feel she had anybody she could turn to to discuss the situation.
The flashing was a mistake & an embarrassing one but if she understood how small High School was, she wouldn't have let those buillies win.

Sad to know that only a few will learn from what she went through.
It's always just a few & that's infuriating.
