Kids send dirty pictures to each other
I just wanted to know what you guys thought of this, a very good friend of mine is a jr high counselor in Utah county.
Last week 3 girls at the school took some pictures of themselves in an inappropriate manner (we are talking very very explicit, porno explicit) on their cell phones and sent them to a boy at the school. Well this boy forwarded the pictures to his friends and they ended up getting in to the hands of a teacher and they were all caught. The girls were all put on probation (which is basically a slap on the wrist) the boy that recieved the pictures and forwarded them was suspended for 4 days. The other boys that recieved them from their friend were also put on probation. Why is the kid that recieved the pictures suspended when the girls that started the whole thing were not? I know its not right but what 14 year old boy would not forward those pictures to his friends? I feel like if a boy sent an explicit picture of himself to some girls the consequences woudl have been outrageous probably expulsion and possibly criminal charges. |

I agree that there is a double-standard. However, I assume the girls were not at school when they took the pictures and sent them to the boy, so really how can the school discipline them then? But if the boy was looking at the pictures during school and sending them to his friends at school, then school has authority to do something. Since they are all minors, I don't know what kind of criminal charges would be filed, but I am not a lawyer and obviously I don't know the full details.
In any case, stories like these make me sick. It seems like teenage girls are getting even more desperate in their attempts to win the affections of teenage boys and losing their dignity in the process. |

I didnt really think of that, you make a good point about where the incident occurred. I asked my friend if he was surprised when he found out who was involved and he told me that he was shocked, he said certain girls in the school you can just tell they are on the fast track to failure, he said these girls all three of them were straight A students, they were all 9th graders and enrolled in Seminary, he said they are kind of popular. He was very surprised by it. |

There are many laws geared towards punishing the male only, because historically women were seen as virtuous creatures who would not do anything lewd or uncomely. When something happens, it is the guy's fault.
Did you know that years ago, when a church couple separated, the husband's temple recommend was immediately revoked, no matter what the cause of separation was? He should have kept the innocent little wife happy. |

Priesthood holders are supposed to protect women--that's a part of the job. As women, we are counseled to sustain you and look to you for leadership and guidance. With that authority comes greater responsibility. Certainly, I have my own issues with the traditional Priesthood/RS roles in our church, but when the men have all the power and they screw up, of course they are going to take more heat. Essentially, because women can get pregnant and men can't, women will always pay the greatest price for sexual indiscretion. Perhaps the church is just making an attempt to even the score. |
