I am 10th grade now. When i was 9th grade, i had a classmate that i hated and which hated me. He was in the same class in me in middle school too. So my mom know him and she added him as friend on facebook. In 9th grade, he took screenshots of my childhood pics from my moms facebook acc and sent them to his friend group which is like 10 people in there. i was so anxious about the photos being shared on insta etc.. 1 month ago, we were checking the gallery of a friend. and on 2021 photos , he found my childhood pics. and there is my elder sister and mom in 2 of the pics. i was really anxious. but my best friend told me to calm down and its not something bad. he told me nothing won't happen they are just joking, they do it among themselves too. that relaxed me a little bit. but i still can't forget about this. by the way when they found the pic, most of them laughed at pics. 2 of my friends kept joking about it for 2 days. and even if they see it again they just smile and pass the pic. what would u do if u guys were in my situation? im a 15yrs old male.

You cannot do much with them having them, you can talk to your mom about better security options and not adding people like that.

All you can do is look inwards and decide to not let it bother you, thus any power they may have over with those pictures becomes nullified.

Thank you. My mom unfriended my friends and made her account private. But i wanna know if you would overthink about that?

[Alessa13]

No I would not, as I know once pics are online they are there forever, regardless of how they got there or who got them.

[jgfhjkhgbjö]

doesn't it scare u that pics can be sent to everyone? I don't know how many people have them and im kind of scared

[Alessa13]

Not really, as if I take them myself I have my phone right in my face hard to see who I am. I have no say over others who take family pictures and do whatever.

No point in getting scared, it only causes problems with me and would stress me out.

some of the pics are funny. but some of them includes my grandma mom and sister. it annoys me. but my friend says they keep the pics cause of you not for your mom or anyone.

You can’t do much as it’s out of your control, you just have to try to forget about it and move on.

What did your mom say.

[jgfhjkhgbjö]

About the pics? she was angry at my friends but she now tells me to dont overthink its normal

[Guy13]
