I wish kids would understand that it is best to avoid posing in questionable photos and videos period (and certainly best to avoid posting or sending these anywhere).
Unfortunately, even if they purge their own social media, someone may have grabbed a pic or video meanwhile and posted it where they cannot delete it. Worse yet, someone can post a questionable pic or vid without their consent, also in a place where they have no control over its distribution.
I'm sure this can be tricky in a world where everyone has a phone handy at all times. But they need to understand that a pic or video of themselves in a compromised state playing the fool can follow them indefinitely (for years, and theoretically, forever).
Some of what was posted this year was catastrophic for some girls during recruitment. Although it was not scandalous compared to much of what high school and college students post in social media, it was very embarrassing to them in their community as well. There may be little they can do to remove it, in any expedient manner, anyway, since it was downloaded onto another account over which they have no authority. It is there for all to see (peers, parents, neighbors, alums, teachers, church friends and leaders, etc) with over 11,000 views.
I at least hope that others may learn from their unfortunate lapse of judgment. Some who probably knew about it didn’t, apparently.
