I'm SOOO Glad There Wasn't An Internet When I Was A Kid...

Photos of nude teen girls linked to Cypress Bay High School

Kids do a lot of dumb shit around this age. Bad enough when the stories go around a single school or neighborhood. I think of all the dumb shit I did around that age and I’m glad we didn’t have anything like Youtube, smart phones or twitter.

The internet is pretty much forever and I’d hate to be the parents of one of these girls.

[i]Weston’s Cypress Bay High School is a hot topic on Twitter Friday morning, with students abuzz about a website that contains numerous nude, sexually explicit photos of teenage girls.

The girls, listed by name, are identified as Cypress Bay students.

Broward Schools spokeswoman Tracy Clark said she could not confirm whether the photos are Cypress Bay students, and referred further questions to the Broward Sheriff’s Office.

“BSO is handling the investigation,” Clark said. “It’s an active criminal investigation right now.”

And the only lesson the kids learn from this stuff is to pass the buck and blame someone else. And of course the parents don’t help cause who wants to believe there child is starved for attention

Don’t blame the tool blame the abuser…just like guns.

I grew up the internet age, and this is just another tool of attention whores and idiots to create drama.

I grew up a lot the day this one chick told me her goal as a freshman in HS was to lose her virginity, and she did it. Had no shame and didn’t care who it was with. No not with me.

I’ve been on Cracked.com all day again, sorry guys.

There are times the internet is used for good. :cool:

There wasn’t an internet, but there were things called BBSs for those that remember (Bulletin Board System). It was usually a modem to modem, straight calling someone else’s computer up and posting some shit, and then at a given time it would upload and download a packet of posts. They were the first online forums. My dad bought a TRS-80 when I was three - it ran programs off of a cassette deck. 300 baud… FTW… So… needless to say, I was corrupted at an early age. :smiley:

Yes, but how to you get porn on it?

These kids shouldn’t even have phones unless they can pay for it themselves. Parents need to stop spoiling their damn kids. Not to mention those girls are sluts. Act like a slut and send nudes of yourself, you deserve any outcome after you hit that send button. I have no sympathy for them at all. Parents need to learn how to instill discipline, provide direction, give mentorship and set solid boundaries with a good set of values. They did that, crap like this would be few and far inbetween. A good ass whooping never hurt either. Plus limiting their exposure to this brainwashing machine hollywood has become.

The internet only makes access to what has been going on easier.

There are other uses like a kid with after school activities letting their parent know when they are done. Going to make your kid pay to let you know when they are done?

An ass whooping is illegal, and has been for over a decade. I will be 30 this year, and almost got placed in my aunt’s home because when I was in middle school my mom got a call saying my older sister was absent from school. She was 16 and just started driving. My mom called the school, and said my sister left that morning to go to class. The lady said she was probably skipping, and probably at the Denny’s because that’s where all the kids go to skip class. My mom went there, found my sister, slapped her, and returned her to the school. She had a red mark on her cheek, and my mom was arrested thus resulting in almost being sent to my aunt’s house. The police came to my school to talk to me, and started asking questions if I was abused…lmao. My mom ended up losing her 2A rights, and had a criminal record over an ‘ass whooping’. I have also printed off the Texas State Attorney Generals guidance on parental punishment, and had people rip it up saying I would get charged anyways.

You’re from a time when parents could punish their kids. Not anymore. We had an incident this week with one of my twins, and another kid called him stupid and a plethora of cuss words. This kids punishment? A few minutes in timeout in the class which is a joke. No one can punish kids anymore.

Despite my parents best efforts I lost my virginity at 13 and my gf was 14. Her parents had no idea for almost an entire year. I wouldn’t consider either of us “bad kids.” She actually got better grades than I did. I just really, really, really liked girls.

Now I will give you your point that some of these girls really might be Jerry Springer candidates, but I don’t know that we can make that assumption in every case. I just don’t see sex as automatically a bad thing or that it makes a kid a bad kid.

Just because it makes access more avaliable doesn’t mean they need it. Kids don’t need a cell phone period. If they need to get ahold of their parents or anyone, there are places with phones. As far as extra curricular or after school activities, parents should have accountability of their kids. If they want a cell phone, xbox, computer, car, they should pay for it themselves. I know an ass whooping is illegal but it doesn’t mean kids don’t need it. I am 24, I got put in my place when it was needed. I could care less about being politically correct. Kids need an ass whooping from time to time. As for the topic of the thread, those girls should of known better.

I think this about sums it up

I can remember back when I went to my first duty assignment in po’dunk louisiana and the most popular dancers at the strip club were the high school senior girls

Knowing better can be a “learning process” and sometimes has a steep curve. I got lucky that nothing bad happened when I did some things that I’d later know better about.

Sex is not bad, but 17 year old girls don’t need to be sending naked photos of themselves out in numbers enough to build a website out of them. Anything younger than 16-17 is too young in my book. Older then that fine, use protection and be safe. Multipul partners and sending nudes all over the place is a slut, male or female, and things like the original post happen it is because of their actions and lack of responsibility. You want to have sex at 17, you better be able to handle that reponsibility. These girls failed.

This is true as well.

So…what? No internet til 18? You’re being vague.

Most times kids phones is becuase the parents want to contact them. Not the other way around.

Pay phones? Have seen maybe 2 in years. I grew up with them all over the place. I actually can’t even think of a single one I know of around here. They don’t exist anymore.

You can care less all you want about not being PC. My mom said the same thing thing and lost her rights, and that was over a decade ago!

Good luck with your thinking.

I think I was fifteen when I first got laid (and so was she). It would never have crossed our minds to take snapshots or a polaroid of ourselves doing anything, much less showing them to anyone else.

Personal privacy seems such an antiquated concept these days. At least for some.

No I didn’t say 18. What makes you think they need internet either? It is a priviledge, not a right. They do NOT need it. I didn’t say pay phones. How do you think they did it before cell phones? Parents kids would be with their friends doing whatever, go to their friends house and use the phone there. Extra cirricular and after school activities usely are at buildings with supervising adults, they will have phones there to use whenever they are done. Who said I would give my kid an ass whooping? I never did, I was stating that they need them. The problem is political correct non-sense has rid ass whipping from the unwritten book of raising children. Don’t mix the two up. Ass whooping is not to be confused with abuse.

Exactly. What ever happened to the old saying “don’t kiss and tell”? I don’t know about anyone else but personal matters like sex should be kept between those involved. Not broadcasted.

If you’re uptight about a kid abusing their cell phone, how tough is it to limit who they can call? No text messaging and the only outgoing numbers are mom, dad, home, and 911.

Then what is the magical age when having a cell phone is permissible? Internet?

The cell phone and internet are two of the best and most convenient modern technologies we use everyday for a plethora of reasons, but you want teenagers to be stuck in the pre 2000’s technology because you think they are “spoiled”? A basic mobile phone and a home internet connection access are far from being “spoiled”.

Most are not. Its just that the internet makes access to this stuff seem like stuff happens way more.

Just like violent crime is way down even after the the AWB expired…yet the internet and modern news makes it sound like we have way more crime than ever.
