Your friend tells you, "This picture on the internet is so cool! I'm going to use Photoshop to erase the little "c" at the bottom and turn it in to my art teacher so she'll think I'm really good." What should you do?

John sent you some pictures of himself playing with Barbies while you were dating, and he broke up with you last week. Should you send the pictures to your friends on Instagram and tag it #loser?

Your best friend just downloaded a new album off of iTunes. You are broke and can't afford it, but you really, really want it. Should you let her burn you a copy on CD?
What is no. When you purchase something, whether physical or digital, that is solely for the purchaser, and it is not to be shared with others. When this happens the creator loses money, and sometimes this results in the creator not creating anything anymore. Support your music (or whatever) by buying it. Don't steal it.

Mrs. Greenboro's clothes look like they were made in the 50's. She needs a wardrobe update. Should I send this?

Sarah doesn't have the best hygiene. Other kids at school call her names and hold their nose as they walk by. Then, they start sending her text messages about it constantly. She starts skipping school because of it. The teachers just think she is sick. What should you do?
What is tell a teacher about it. Sarah doesn't need to go through this alone. You don't have to be her friend, but being a bystander is just as bad as being the bully. Don't be a party to bullying in any fashion.

I forgot that my research paper for English class is due tomorrow. I don't really want to stay up late to write it. Should I find one on the internet and buy it? Since I'm buying it, that makes it okay, right?

I posted a public YouTube video of myself singing the national anthem in front of my house. Before singing, I introduced myself with my first and last name and said the name of my town. I re-watched the video last night and realized the house numbers are visible in the background. I got a lot of views. Should I take it down?
What is yes. You don't want personally identifying information out in cyberspace. Someone watching the video could possibly steal your identity or come and find you. They now know your first and last name and your full address. Don't share personal information like that with strangers. You can refilm your song somewhere else that is not personally identifying, like a park. Only say your first name. They don't need to know where you are from.

Your shirt is on backwards. Should I send it?
What is it depends. If you are trying to be helpful, and it's a friend that would understand, then yes. If you are saying it to be mean or hurtful, then no. Also, it should be a private text or IM, not group.

I've been sending inappropriate text messages to Kim for awhile, and I also IM her mean comments every chance I get. Last week, I made a website called "Kim the Big Fat Cow." She hasn't been at school the past two days. I'm worried I went too far. I don't want to get in trouble, but I don't want something awful to happen to Kim. What should I do?
What is tell an adult anyway. People who are constantly bullied start to lose self-esteem and often withdraw from society. This often leads to severe depression, anxiety, and even suicide. Take care of the problem before it's too late. You will be in less trouble if you step up and take responsibility than if you pretend everything's okay when it's not.
