Image is Everything

A picture is worth a thousand words? So what are you really saying?

In the world of social networking sites, it has become easier and easier for young ladies to display images of themselves in less than modest appearance. Many networking sites that ask for profile pictures have females in next to nothing clothing, revealing body parts, and statuses revealing sexually suggestive language.

The problem is that many women don't seem to care about the message that some images may be saying. In fact, many men have commented that women that have revealing pictures on the internet's social networking sites, are viewed as easy, and as someone that they would never consider having a meaningful relationship with.

Here are a few questions a female should ask themselves before they post a picture on a website.

1. Does this image, truly represent the person I want to be?
2. Does this image, communicate that I am the type of person that engages in sexually risky behavior?
3. How would I feel if I were applying for a job, and an employer saw this picture?
4. Does this image indicate that I am a woman with self respect and self love

Another thing to consider is that sexual predators are very real, and prey on innocent victims of the internet. Parents- make sure your young teenagers and preteens are not posting inappropriate pictures of themselves- why create a target for someone that is out to do harm.

It may not seem that serious, after all it's just a picture some might say, however, but if a Picture is worth a thousand words- what does your picture say about you?
