[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Whoa! Calm down! You can post naked pictures of yourself all day long. Just know it may come back to haunt you. You may want to reconsider working with children. Their parents and your employers may not be sympathetic to your need to show nude photos of yourself. GL with your choices![/quote]

I think it safe to assume that most of the posters on this board are parents of school aged children. And that these children are part of the digital native generation, who are growing up immersed in social media and likely have very easy access to a digital cameras. It is VERY likely some point in your child's life they are going to say or do something really stupid online. I just hope you will respond with more grace and understanding that this PP.[/quote]

I don't know about the PP you're responding to, but I will pretty much respond EXACTLY as the PP above (i.e. "Good luck with that bad choice honey!"), but in the meantime way earlier I'll do my best to instill in my kids the understanding that actions have consequences, which must be considered every single time.  Yes, kids will be kids, and do dumb stuff.  But that fact doesn't change the fact that, indeed, if my kids do that and it gets online, forget the consequences later, how about now in the age of bullying and stalking in schools?  It's a lose-lose at any age to post those kinds of pics, and while I will be concerned and probably lose much sleep if it happens with any of my kids, the attitude will be the same.  Good luck with that, because it's probably about to be something you regret.

(But then of course I'll be supportive if they actually are traumatized by the consequences.  However I will always be matter of fact about the fact that they should have known better.)[/quote]
