WARNING- This series of blog posts may be offensive to some readers. For some, you may need to wake up and smell the coffee. For others, you fit one of the signs mentioned below. Just as a reminder, you posted it online for the whole world to see…remember that next time before you post something online.
I have noticed a disturbing trend over the past few years. Teenagers (and adults alike) have used a social networking site like Facebook or Myspace to post images and comments that are incredibly inappropriate. What’s crazy is that they see absolutely nothing wrong with it and don’t realize that it reveals the true character of the person. It’s a new breed of skank.
Based on actual pictures and such from people that I actually know, I’ve come up with “Ten Signs that You’re a Facebook Whore.” So without further ado…here are the first few:
1) The Slutty Mirror Shot- This is probably the most famous of the skanky pics. For some reason, people love to take a picture of themselves in the mirror. There’s absolutely nothing wrong with that part. However, for some other strange reason, they often feel as if they must be scantily clothed or seductive in the process. Many also love to show off their curves by doing a side profile picture or a “wearing nothing but a towel” picture. The most common mirrors of choice are the bathroom mirror or the full length mirror in the bedroom.
2) The “Look at my Abs” Shot- Guys and girls love to show off their stomach. Guys love to show them off and make sure that the top 1/3 of their boxers or briefs are showing, while girls typically fold over their waistband of their shorts as they lift their shirt up (Because you obviously can’t show off your abs without showing off your legs or the bottom of your bra at the same time). It must be noted, that girls that are unbelievably tiny or fit also have to add the caption “I’m so fat” to the picture, so that people will respond with comments to their picture. Most often, this is also a slutty mirror shot.
3) The Comment Hussy- As mentioned above, people oftentimes leave comments in response to the pictures. Guys lead the charge in this role, because they love to tell a girl how fine they are, how much they would love to “hook up wit u,” or how they would like to “tap that.” Girls aren’t immune to leaving the comments, and often leave flirty or suggestive comments to their friends. It’s also interesting to see how many ways “sexy” can be spelled.
Check back for part two tomorrow! As always, feel free to leave comments below by clicking on the word “comments.”

I think you are so right! I find nothing wrong belonging to a social networking page, however, it does reveal who a person is by what they say and the pictures they put out there. As a parent, I monitor my teens pages and he knows that anything I deem inappropriate, be it language,comments, or photos, the page will be closed down and account closed. Keep going on this, people need to be accountable for what they put out there for all their friends/world to see!
I agree totally. I check my daughter’s facebook page and I am appalled at some of the content that I see from other kids. Her page would be closed as well and she knows it. Keep it up Josh!
Great stuff…I myspace and am trying to facebook…but the stuff that goes up is ridiculous and I call my youth out on it quiet a bit. I’ve been sending this across myspace and facebook hoping to get some folks thinking. Don’t hold anything back…You should really really send this to YS or something. Marko would love it I think.
