What is not to like?
I was trying to figure out why the school district was liable....until I read...
“school officials told them to “suck it up” when they complained.”
Interestingly enough, we were discussing this phenomenon at church yesterday in our marriage and family class. One of our pastors is also a high-school teacher, and we were discussing raising teenagers in the digital generation. Apparently, it has become quite common for guys in high school to ask the girls for nude pics, and can get quite pushy about it. On the flip side, a lot of girls will send nude pics to guys they think are cute without being asked. It is almost to the point where they guys won’t ask the girls out on a date unless they get a nude pic first! When the pastor asked his students for their estimation of how common the practice was, the consensus was that about 60% of the girls they knew were sending these pics.
Okay, I was an 8th-grader once. How, exactly, do you con a girl into sending you naked photos? I'm not excusing the boy's behavior here, obviously. It just seems an odd word choice. I can believe these jerks pressured or guilt-tripped the girls into doing it, but con?
"The photos wound up in the hands of other boys who were older and who demanded that more be sent."
Enjoy becoming registered sex offenders, you pervs. Even in liberal la-la land, it's against the law to view naked pictures of 13 year old girls.
"The girls said if they didn’t, the boys threatened to post the photos online and 'show the world.'"
Personally, I think it would be highly appropriate for the fathers of these girls to take these boys to the woodshed and teach them the error of their ways.
Man, I am so glad I'm not a kid today. I hated public school bad enough in my era.
Nothing new. The same thing happened back in 1967 at the high school in Roswell NM.
Blame Polaroid Instant cameras for it.
The Roswell Daily Record had an editorial about it.
I have a 16 year old boy. This happens everywhere. Home schooled kids and religious schooled kids are doing it too.
This ping list is for the “other” articles of interest to homeschoolers about education and public school. This can occasionally be a fairly high volume list. Articles pinged to the Another Reason to Homeschool List will be given the keyword of ARTH. (If I remember. If I forget, please feel free to add it yourself)
The main Homeschool Ping List handles the homeschool-specific articles. I hold both the Homeschool Ping List and the Another Reason to Homeschool Ping list. Please freepmail me to let me know if you would like to be added to or removed from either list, or both.
