In elementary school, we’re all dreamers. We worship firefighters and movie stars and models and presidents. We’re absolutely convinced life will bend and cater to our fanciest whims, and that’s why, despite the skinned knees and broken vases, our parents continue to love us.
In middle school, we’re all awkward. We poison our tongues with lies and neglect our schoolwork in the name of acceptance. Only we realize the life-or-death importance of sitting at the cool lunch table, and that’s why, despite the occasional apologies and after school hugs, our fathers shake their heads and sigh.
In high school, we’re all train wrecks. We nervously throw back our first vodka shots and grope our way to second base. We tune out common sense and ignore hundreds of parental lectures because no one else knows how it feels. We’re positive putting out and vomiting epically will put us on the fast track, and that’s why, despite the tearful make-ups and college acceptance letters, our mothers stay up all night worrying.
But you know what? All of this nonsense, this malarkey, this angst and rebellion is good for us. It reminds us not to shove that fork in the electrical outlet, not to let that sketchy girl at the end of the bar into our homes. Another crop of pg-13 rated Miley Cyrus pictures seduced their way onto the web today, and surprise surprise the hypocritical sweat oozing off Middle America has been foul and musky.
When I was in high school, I saw naked pictures of random co-eds. Girls I knew, girls I sorta recognized, and girls I’d never seen in person. I saw scantily clad pictures of even more girls, some of them my friends, some of them my buddies’ girlfriends. Sometimes the girls found out, and of course, they cried and screamed and even broke up with their boyfriends over those betrayals of trust, but eventually, they moved on. Some of ’em even laughed about it because as much as every father would like to believe their virginal daughters are behaving saintly---they aren’t. Getting caught with your pants down, with egg on your face and shame in your eyes, is part of growing up. And, believe it or not, Miley Cyrus is just a fifteen year old girl.
Is sending half-naked home movies to your boyfriend a good idea? No. It’s a stupid decision with real consequences. But so is drinking at fifteen. And car surfing. And making out with your best friend’s girlfriend. And cheating on tests. And cutting class. And eating a dozen donuts. And mooning an old woman. We all do stupid things, and we all did stupid things at fifteen. So, get the stick out of your ass and stop judging a silly fifteen year old girl. She needs to grow up, and inappropriate pictures are part of that.

Thank you! It's nice to see an adult with some common sense. I mean, c'mon, two fifteen-year-olds who're hot for each other trade pictures of themselves that, to their eyes anyway, are sexy. What is news about this? I think the hypocrisy of people pretending to be shocked by this, or even worse, truly shocked by it shows how out of touch most people are with kids. Miley Cyrus is cute, talented and a strong young lady; she should be supported not pulled down.
Out of all the carbon copy "news" posts about Miley and this most recent "incident", yours is the only one that makes sense. Kudos for remembering that we were all 15 not too long ago.
VERY well said...best opinion I've heard yet on this subject. Every one of us did stupid stuff at her age, but none of us had our dirt aired out all over the world on the internet, either.
Stay strong, Miley...learn from it and move on. What doesn't kill you only makes you stronger.
THANKYOU!!! honestly you have made perfect sense here i'm 15 and most of my mates are, we all do silly things sometimes not intentionally but it's part of growing up and those silly things are how we learn from our mistakes.. oh another most of the scandle pictures shes involved in were taken before she was a big hit and some of them were photshopped and the reporters are making a big fuss about it.
AMEN! You said it all & said it best. People get over it. These pictures are nothing. All this hype by a bunch of hypocrites. If you did nothing silly at 14 or 15 or you think your kids won't - get a grip on reality.
Miley is a great and very talented young lady - she will rise above all this - she has a super future ahead of her.
I'll be laughing when all the hypocrites & their kids are found to be the real rauchy ones.
ahh yes many people do stupid things at a young age, and this is invasion of privacy. buttt what do you expect? no one i knew was sending shower pictures to their friends when i was 15...okay, maybe doing stupid things IS a part of growing up..but NOT when you work for Disney! Sorry. Ridiculous. She's not a fucking victim here. Her face is everywhere I go and she's responsible for representing her profession at all times. Really. I don't doubt she does all of this for the attention.
well said my friends! i dont beleive she is like that.alot of people do alot of stuff they regret but i think the pics are downloaded.i would never think she is seduced! stay strong and move on live a great life miley.i respect you.
