    Rude? I think 'creepy' is the word you're looking for.

    Just a picture of them?

    Or a picture of something else where they happen to be in the frame?

    It's about the intent behind the post or any action for that matter.

    If the intent is to make fun of somebody, then yes.

    If it is to say, I was partying with my ole bud who i hadn't seen in 5 years & we had a great time/memory... then no.

    I think it depends on how the posted picture is used. Like for example it's a picture like LOOK AT THIS GUY, HE"S DRESSED ALL COOL, something like that is ok. But when they are in a context of showing how weird/ugly the person is, obviously it is terrible (Cyberbullying).

    Yes. Unless they're a public figure or a bystander in the picture (there's a picture of my friends and I at a football game from a year or two ago, and the girl behind us is picking her nose. It's a good picture, so we kept it up).

    If those pictures are all taken by you, I gotta say you are a very talented photographer.

    I try not to get other people in the frame if at all possible. I don't want total strangers ruining my picture!

    One More Question: IS there an age limit on Cyber bullying.

    On one of the facebook pages I went too.
    I guy got clowned.

    Basically he sent ole girl a picture in his undies
    [I guess he figured they were kool like that]
    She basically put him on blast posting it all over
    I think he was a dumbass to send it
    but
    I found her actions more reprehensible.

    Now. . . they all grown *ss Folx
    so all is good .. . but man . .. Dude is OUT THERE now
    for the world to see and there is no taking it back

    Just reminds me once again . . once you let it out
    you no longer own it.
    and
    NEVER send inappropriate pictures to anyone!
