Re: Amanda Todd Boob Flash Hit 42

What happened to Amanda is an amplifed version of what happens to all women who were once girls: we suddenly found ourselves with new bodies, and a social system that tells us, at one and the same time, to manifest an increasingly normative hypersexualized self-presentation (to be popular, to fit in, to have friends) and to viciously slap down as sluts any other girl who went just a shade too far in this hypersexualized self-presentation (again, in order to be popular, to fit in, to have friends). Dating introduced further complications: be sexy, but not necessarily sexual; put out, but not too enthusiastically. The range of acceptable teenage girl behaviours and self-presentations is very, very, very narrow. The band widens a bit for those who are conventionally pretty, if they also happen to have good self-confidence, and a higher than average starting social or economic position. Kim Kardashian can made a sex tape and become a global brand icon; Amanda Todd can flash her nascent boobs for one person over a webcam and be driven to suicide.
Re: AMANDA TODD
Amanda Todd belonged to a site called Blogtv junior, seem to be where all this had started from. It used to be a site for 16yrs and older but still many kids signed up anyways and the mods removed them from the site.. They were harassed by pervs with up to 100 or more in the room talking these lil kids to flash there boobs and show more.. So blogtv made a Junior site just for the kids for the ages 13 to 16 i believe, 16 is the age you can join the adult site. But the pervs still found away to the junior side and lied about there age, Where Amanda Todd's nude photo was taken and had been harassed up until she recently killed herself.. Blogtv is where this had all started, i'm not saying Blogtv is to blame but i do hope this Junior side of the site could be shut down.. Blogtv is still a great site to meet new people and great friends, but i believe they need tuffer age restrictions or better methods to keep this from happening again.. I know there are other sites this could of happened on, but it makes me feel i'll thinking my own kids could be on this site on the Junior side and i would never know cause it is not accessible to my view.. Yes i could monitor them better but kids are smart and delete history also seems they know more about comps then i do.. I think Blogtv Junior being shut off to the adults side of the site is doing more harm then good.. Leaving the pervs more room to prey on our small children.. May or may not of helped in Amanda Todd's case but you never know 1 of us may of caught it and reported it in time..
