Mom’s Soap Box

Sorry Hillary I think Obama has chosen his running mate!

Hillary may be out of the race for the white house, but that may not be the end of the road for her.
Will she join forces with Obama?
Even though I am against Obama in the white house I would had rather have seen Hillary as the commander in chief :(.

The latest craze in high school’s across America; texting nude photos and passing them out to their friends’ via a camera cell phone.

Boy oh boy Penn Trafford girls did it again! It was not too long ago when there was a big scandal on prom night with naked out of control seniors with their “girl’s gone wild video tapes.”

Their at it again, but their choice of mass communication is not a camcorder but a cell phone. This was the topic of debate in my home yesterday evening. The whole gang (kids) were passing their cell phones around showing bare skinned high school girl’s photos. Let’s just say they were not G rated.

The mother in me wanted to pick the phone up and call the lovely model’s parent and let them know that their daughter’s flesh was being texted from one high school boy’s phone to another, and to students in and around area school district’s to see.

The following day my son told me that one of the girls’ in one photo said she was famous now. Thanks Lindsay Lohan and Britney Spears. No wonder why tween’s are locking their phones from wandering parent’s eyes. The day my son or daughter locked their phone from me would be the day I took the phone and threw in the garbage.

I don’t remember this type of behavior going on when I was in high school; I realize it was 20 some years ago- we did not even come close. Sure we did some dumb things like most kids’ but naked photos!Has technologoy killed society’s morals. Technology is a wonderful tool, but if abused it can lead to laws been broken, and lives devastated.

I’m sure Satan loves this type of behavior; he is grinning with pleasure at the site of these kids gone wild! It reminds me of Saturday Night Live’s “Church Lady”. What would she think!! I chuckle at the thought.

Howard Stern would love to hear about this one also!

But in all honesty, it’s nothing to joke about. It saddens me to think– these poor girls’ thought they were sending the picture to their boyfriends’…. They have such little self worth and low self-esteem; they think by doing these types of things it will make the boys like them.

Kids only care about the present, and they don’t realize that these photo’s can come back to haunt them later in life. This can happen when they apply to colleges’ and enter the work force. They don’t realize the ramifications that these photos’ can bring, and they are not aware of the consequences.

“One word of advice I have for all the insecure girls’ out there-if you don’t want anyone else’s eyes to see the pictures don’t send them out in the first place.”

Don’t ever do anything you would not want your mother or father to see, because it will come back to haunt you someday.

My grandfathers favorite saying was, “A stiff cock has no conscious.”

You never know who may be looking at your pictures.
