Think Before Posting

Blog post 412 of 365

We tell our kids never to post photos of themselves in compromising positions. We tell them not to text half naked (or naked) photos of themselves. Those things linger forever. They might say, "But my boyfriend/girlfriend would never show it to anyone else." However we know that they will once they break up or they are if they happen to be a douche bag type.

As parents we know these compromising photos will eventually come back to haunt them. By possible future employers, by possible colleges and universities they may wish to attend or by their future spouse. I mean did your folks ever pull out the embarrassing photos of your youth. You were so adorable...

Well why are parents posting half naked (or naked), embarrassing, humiliating or otherwise compromising photos of their kids on the internet? In some cases they might seem innocent but is others they are just reckless behavior you would never allow your child to get away with.

Please consider how it might affect them before posting it. They might be funny or cute now but years from now will you still be laughing?
