those pictures won't go away...

It’s unfortunate. I see pictures all over the internet and social media that are questionable. Whether it’s Facebook, Twitter, Instagram, SnapChat or via text message, there are pictures everywhere that may seem like a good idea today, but may not tomorrow. It may seem like they’re just there for you and your friends… The thing is, nobody has to go out searching for these pictures, they’re just there - FOR EVERYONE TO SEE.

The thing that I see most often is teenagers posting pictures with their boyfriend or girlfriend hanging out, spending time together and having fun. That’s great, but the problem comes in when you’re posting pictures of you and your boyfriend or girlfriend kissing and making out. THOSE PICTURES DON’T GO AWAY. 

You can try to delete those pictures or untag yourself from those images, but the reality is, that those are somewhere for someone to see. It may be a picture that someone is hanging onto the memory of, it may be a memory that you are trying to forget or it may be a memory that you’re never going to be able to let go.

My suggestion to you… Don’t post anything that you wouldn’t want your parents or your future spouse to see. Don’t post anything that you may regret later. Respect your future relationships, your future spouse and yourself. 

YOU are worth so much more! YOU are valuable! YOU are made for a greater purpose! Realize that YOU are worth respecting and that YOU are worth so much more than any suggestive picture. 

If a girl or a guy is pushing you into a situation where you feel pressured into taking pictures, posting pictures or doing things that you know you shouldn’t be doing, GET OUT OF THAT RELATIONSHIP! Don’t stay there, don’t wait around. 

YOU ARE WORTH MORE!
