| Since this board is made up of mostly women I thought that maybe you could lend some insight to me on something I see going on Face Book on a daily bases. Why do so many young girls post pictures of themselves in the bath room with vary little clothes on? This practice is beyond me what are they trying to prove. Why post these on a public page? I know I am getting old but I just don't get it. I am not looking for a fight here just your opinion.

Location: Wonderful Wyoming | because society is a "look at me" generation now. I think it is sick and I would have been mortified to ever do that, and my dad would have locked me in my room for the rest of my life. PARENTS could sure do something about it, but most don't have a lot of one on one with their kids these days. Also not starting a fight, just what I see on facebook. |

| I didn't think many young people were using Facebook anymore because they don't won't to hang out with old people like their parents. LOL I thought they used all kinds of other social media. |

| Because they think the attention that they get from it is the right kind of attention that they want from the opposite sex.
I had this exact discussion last night while out with a group of friends at a local country bar. At 27 I was the youngest one in the group - we had a good time people watching - the things that even young women wear these days is astonishing and ridiculous, how they look in the mirror and think they look good is beyond us.
Granted, I went to college, I have owned and still have a few cleavage showing shirts, but I've also grown up and realized that the kind of attention those shirts gets me, is not the kind of attention I want. If he can't respect me and see value in my starched button down and dusty boots, then he's not worth my time frankly. |

Location: Florida | Attention, attention, attention. I was just thinking about that the other day. I'm grown, married with a baby living in FLORIDA and still feel weird to post pics even in a bathing suit unless I'm ACTUALLY on, in, or by the water lol Maybe I am old... |

Location: Texas | This is just another thing wrong in the world today, which effects our children so much.
It's sad that we judge people by their body AND that people think it's acceptable to post pictures of themselves half-naked on the internet.
Facebook and social media wasn't around when I was a kid, thank God. But, if I would have taken and shared pictures of myself in skimpy clothes for our town and family friends to see, my dad would have put me six foot under. No questions asked.

But don't understand that once they post pictures like that they out there for ever. |

They don't think beyond today. Ten feet tall and bullet proof mentality that many have when they are kids. Now with technology it is a a whole different beast. They can't think that anything they do today might affect them years down the road. |

Oh I agree with that for most teens however a lot of the pictures I am talking about are girls in their 20's. You would think by that time they would have grown some brains. |

Location: Florida | IMHO, it's not a big deal to the younger generation. But, that doesn't mean it's OK and as parents, teachers, role models, etc., we need to assist/guide/coach them with making better choices. |

Why would they. When society as a whole says " do what you want. You're free" no one teaches seeks respect anymore... If you don't teach it, how can they learn it for themselves. |

Yet another reason my kids will not get a phone any time soon. My son or my daughter. No matter how much of a mean mom i am. My 5 year old nephew has an iphone. My 10 year old son thinks it is SO unfair that he can't have one. |

| I'm not a woman, but an old man. I think it's terrible. Every generation contributes something. This youngest generation brought us the "selfie". That in and of itself says it all. |

Location: Minnesota | I'm 25. I had Facebook since I was 16 and got rid of it about 5 months ago and honestly its been so nice not having it. I miss a lot of the horse groups on there but that wasn't enough to keep me since 90% of the stuff on Facebook is drama. Its unfortunate that MY generation has nothing to show but selfies and duck face pictures. |
