An Open Apology

I think I ruined someone's life. There was this one girl in my high school who I wasn't really friends with. I know very little about her to this day, if I'm being honest.

Naked Photos

I get so mad when people shame the women who have naked photos that go viral without their consent. Having naked photos of ourselves is normal. Sometimes we're curious about how our body looks to other people. Sometimes it's a confidence thing. Sometimes it's there to send to a significant other. That doesn't mean it's okay for them to be shared without the owner's consent. Whenever a celebrity has a naked photo leaked, my mom says, "well she shouldn't have had that on her phone." That's just like telling someone that just got their car stolen that they deserved it because they owned that car. Those photos are STOLEN. In what universe is that the celebrity's fault? Why do we keep shaming victims?
