Stacy’s day at the beach had been perfect. Great weather, best friends and loads of fun. During the day, Stacy snapped many photos of her friends frolicking in the sand and water. Stacy’s favorite photo was of Jessica and Darla burying each other on the beach. When Stacy got home later that night she could hardly wait to upload her new photos to her Facebook account. This only took a minute or two, which left her plenty of time to write photo captions and to tag her pics. Some of the boys in her class came across the photos and began to make rude comments about Jessica and Darla. Although neither Jessica nor Darla have Facebook accounts, they became aware of what the boys had done and vowed their friendship with Stacy was over.
 * Scenario 1: Posting Pictures to Internet**

//Teacher:// In scenario 1, not only does Stacy recklessly post to the internet, she goes one step further by posting photos of Jessica and Darla without first getting their permission. Jessica and Darla are not impressed. The two have the right to decide for themselves whether or not to post their photos to a Facebook account. Once the photos have been added to the internet, they can’t ever really be taken back. Stacy did not mean to harm them in any way, but there are many situations where young people have used the internet for a means to ridicule someone else, resulting in personal anguish.

Show the Video: [|Star Wars Kid]

In this video we see a then fourteen year old boy using a golfball retriever to mimic the lightsaber moves of Darth Maul. The boy intended to make the video for his own entertainment and never intended for anyone to view it. Some of his classmates found the video and proceeded to share it online. Over 25 million people have viewed the video since then. The boy endured so much teasing and taunting from others that he required counseling and eventually launched a lawsuit again the classmates who uploaded the video.
