I would probably start by calling the kids of today DUMB, but look what they have to look up to.This makes a much since as when celebs make sex tapes and/or pics and the are upset when someone else releases them to the public.
My plea is to the parent to be PARENTS, instill some kind of self-esteem into your kids so that way they will not look at celebs on TV and think that is the way to go…

her dumbass took the pictures…her dumbass distributed the pictures….her dumbass killed her dumbass self, why are the parents suing the school for her dumbass actions?

I hate to say it…but I’m gonna say it anyway….white people.

In response to the person that posted the comment that I will simply refer to as a dumb ass statement, do you hear yourself? Suicide is not a problem of one race or the other it’s a national issue. Just because the young lady in this story took pics and sent them to one person whom she thought she could trust doesn’t deserve internet bashing. Suicide happens daily and to recognize when someone is not coping with lifes obstacles without intervention is all we can do to prevent it.
It is enough that her friends whom she took those photos with and the one guy she sent them to will have to live with the thought that they may have had an influence in this young lady’s decision to take her life. Again suicide is a serious issue I hope you choose your comments more wisely before posting next time as you may find yourself on the recieving end of the hate and insensitivity you are projecting with your comment.

Parents need to sit down and talk to their kids about everything regardless if they think their child won’t do anything. I understand their frustration but at the same time, where are they holding the daughter responsible too. She is the one who took them and she is the one who sent them. You never can trust anyone. Its sad that she ended her life, but if i choose to send a pic via my cellphone that should be my business cause i’m an adult and anyone should know once it gets into the wrong hands hey who knows where it goes. Who knows where it goes when you give it to someone you love or so called trust. They shouldn’t be suing the school cause she passed her own picture at her own free will.

First off – THAJ – F**K YOU.
suicide TO ME, is not a problem. it is a very selfish, and thoughtless act. u seem to have had some suicidal thoughts or something because u wanna jump all over me for calling her for what she was, a dumbass. I don’t care who she trusted, just like all these stupid celebrities with all the photos and whatnot running the risk of having them spread to the public. No one’s fault but their own. So again – THAJ – f**k YOU, and kiss my ass….matter of fact go kill urself immediately.

this is why cell phones shouldn’t be given to teens or kids with those types of features. I understand not every child does these types of things…but there is too much temptation by peers and media to portray and act in a certain way for many reasons such as popularity or to gain a love interest. I think its time parents started taking a more active roll in their childrens lives and start making better decisions… ur a parent not a friend… remember that

i agree suacide is a very selfish act and a ct of cowardness i in know way shape or form feel sorry for that piece of filth if just because pictures of her being nude gotout that she later would decidie to take her own life.

this female was a coward i know plenty of women who have had there nude pictures eposed but they r still alive and kicking but of course they r all african american women and r too strong to wanna kill themselfs or something being exposed that is so natrual as to be nude.

SHE WAS 18 … LEGAL @ feebee16

i agree with some of the comments on here…when you take naked pictures of yourself or do a sex video…there are a million ways they could get out…thats why you dont do them…she shouldnt have sent out the pictures if she didnt want them to get to everyone…teenagers are stupid…and they do stupid things…its highly unlikely that those pictures would have NEVER got out to someone….if you dont want everyone to see you naked…dont put your coochi all over the web/cell phone…

Not a reason to kill yourself… but her being 18 16 14 doesnt matter everyone should have a phone. she look the pics along with her friends… she sent em out correct?

People should be able to have voyeurism fantasies, act them out and still have some kind of privacy, Just because someone take nude pics does not mean they want them to get out,Is it a crime to trust someone? i think NOT I feel bad for the young girl family and i hope they get some kind of compensation for this unfortunate chain of events

Agreed

THATS MESSED UP….SHE COULD OF OVER CAME THIS

i hate she committed suicide but y iz da family tryna sue. Lord 4give me but da hoe wuz dumb 4 sendin her pix 2 anyone & she went 2 florida on spring break. datz wen nude pix & otha thingz git out, so i’m sorry 2 say but da family doesn’t deserve 2 sue anybody. da girl wuz wrong 4 sendin her boyfriend or friend da nude pix.

i dont think her family deserves compensation. its not like she was forced to take the pictures and they were sent out without her consent. she WILLINGLY took and sent the pictures. the article doesnt indicate the kind of relationship she had with the person she sent the pictures to. whos to say that was her boyfriend, friend, and/or someone she trusted? how do we know that he wasnt some guy she had a crush on and wanted to show off to? if he had no bond with her then hes not inclined to keep the pictures to himself because he doesnt care.

do you see where im going with this?

yes, its sad that she killed herself, but if she wouldnt have put herself in such an awkward position this never wouldve happened. im a grown ass woman and i still know better than to send nude pictures out to just anyone. you never know what that person will do with them, and who they might show them to.

What happened to self-accountibility? its her own fault. Why are the parents suing?

It is a shame how people are this girl eventhough she was 18 was still a child and as children we make mistakes. She felt that the person she sent the pictures to was trustworthy or im sure she would have not done it. I dont know if the family should get money but the students that sent the pictures to other students should have to pay for there part. It was a story a little while ago about a young girl putting nude pics. of herself on myspace and how she was getting charged for child porn and she did it herself, So why shouldnt they get the same kind of charge. And for all the people who are calling her nams its not necessary this girl killed herself because of people like you. I pray none of you have kids who make mistakes because they may end up just like her with parents like you.

if she didn’t want ppl to see the pics, she should not have taken them; common sense. It is not the school or the city’s fault that she left the state, and took nude pics. She was on Spring break anyways; what does that have to do with the school. Don’t waste money by suing ppl.

If she took her life because some nude photos got out she would have never made through life anyhow.

I would like to send my condolences out to the family. It is always a tragedy when someone takes their life. However I do not think it is the school or the police department fault. The lady was 18 and by law she is considered to be an adult and as so she must accept responsibility for her actions. People in general especially young girls should never take inappropriate pictures or make explicit tapes. It seems as if nine out ten times this information is leaked to the public and that person ends up getting hurt. I know the parents are hurting but they must look at themselves, their child and the person who sent the pictures to other people. Parents need to communicate with kids about the perils of life and how to avoid them.

What we say, do and comment about other people, we have to keep account of. there is a God and we will all have to answer to him, So true Nelly she was a child still. Just like some on here still is, childish minds, my heart goes out to the family also. For many of us with teenager’s we need truly to keep watch. And keep in prayer.

How is her drunken, free fall behavior is anybody else’s fault? She took the damned photo’s of her OWN FREE will. No one forced or coerced her. She was GROWN and temporarily on her own, away from home and did something dumb. Now the family wants to SUE some damn body for something their daughter did cause she [killed herself] did something shamefully STUPID and couldn’t stand the pressure??? They’re KIDS! Did she tell who she sent it to NOT to forward it to anyone else?!? Also, once you send or give something of yours to someone else, it is no longer under your control and you don’t own it anymore.

I’m still out on why is her family suing the other 2 girls who also took nude pics of themselves. What? Is her family trying to say they got her to do something [pics] she ordinarily wouldn’t do? Oh c’monnnn….It would appear to me that they are a typically grieving family and within that circle of grief they are blaming everybody for the cut and clear actions of their beloved, pristine, child.

There are no winners. Just another [unfortunate] situation and dire warning that parents of young girls and young girls themselves should should yield and heed.

“Her parents, [the suit adds], went to Sycamore High and asked administrators to do something to stop the harassment of their daughter. >>But the police officer stationed at the school explained that ((because Jessica was 18 at the time and sent the picture herself, nothing could be done.”))

They have NO grounds for or TO sue ANYBODY! Ain’t no telling where those pictures ended up and who all seen or forwarded them. That forwarding feature can go on and on and on..until infinity. So, word to the WISE; if you want to share your body with the world–don’t take nor share NUDE pictures of yourself with anyone else!

And I agree: “if you [don't] want to share your body with the world–don’t take nor share NUDE pictures of yourself…with anyone else!”
