Stuff that grinds your gears

In my day you’d be sent off for a long weight or a length of fallopian tube and 5 or 6 people would get a laugh out of it.

Now it’s recorded and it could be 5/6000 people view it and comment on it.

That can de devastating for someone’s confidence.
I was in a playground with my kids last week, my 11 year old is on the spectrum in a mild enough way but can be very
immature, a few teenagers there were laughing at him and i cant be certain but i reckon one or two of them videoed him,
 
One of the lads that died pissed his pants at a house party and videos of it were shared on WhatsApp. Poor kid got an awful doing.

His parents, aunts and uncles all got wind of it.

He was a lovely kid and dead within a month.

While there must have been underlying issues there, these kind of things definitely don’t help.

That's horrendous.

People seem oblivious to the damage they're doing.

Just grab the phone and share.

There was a video on wattapp last week of a girl giving a fella a BJ in full view of people, Majority of the onlookers
had their phones out recording, many of them old enough to know better, The girl and fella may well have been pissed or stoned
and may now be traumatised by this video,

Link?
 
I get what you're saying but I think every generation says that. We look at the younger crowd and see their problems and think glad I didn't have to deal with that growing up.

And yes, I'm glad I didn't grow up in the age of the smart phone and what it entails. But if I did, I'd probably be okay with it. Thing is, suicide has long been one of the major reasons for deaths of men in this country, young and not so young and it's never been given the attention it deserves.
Good post,
A friend pointed out to me once that growing up there was no diagnosis for many of the conditions we see today and many of them involved mental health.
With smart phones today everyone wants to fit into a category of what's presented before them as an ideal, and if they fail to live up to it they see themselves as failures.
As Hank said I'd hate to be a young fella these days...

I dont have that video.


If this wan was underage then whoever sends these videos could get done for distribution of child porn

Nice one for the CV.
 
Is that the one in Liverpool ? Think she is well over 18 as she was saying her OnlyFans is doing great business now…


Imagine being in your late teens, having a mad night out, not remembering too much but when you finally come around the next morning someone says to you, “you’ve gone viral”

The fear !!!!

I think there needs to be a serious reset with this shit. Every child needs to make mistakes to learn from them, thats just how it works. If every time I had done something stupid was filmed then god knows what the outcome of it all would have been.

Surely consent is being overlooked here in a serious way? It cannot be legal to take out your phone and record people something like those 2 without their permission, and then to distribute it can it? What this needs is either the current legislation to be enacted, the original phone that was taken on could be traced no problem, bring them to court and make it clear that people will be prosecuted for this stuff. If the legislation doesnt allow for that then change it and make the first case asap

The other side of it is distribution. If those 2 are underage then that person is surely guilty of distributing child pornography? Haul them into court and make an example.. the word wont be long going around that you are taking a chance with this stuff

The likes of WhatsApp should also be on the hook, their platform allows the likes of this stuff to go from a drunken mistake to thousands of people viewing within hours. They could moderate content but they couldn't be bothered.

The first and simplest step though is fellas not forwarding the videos when they get them
