    First, everyone makes mistakes. The point is to learn from them. You made 2 of them here, and sending the photos is the lesser. It's also the easiest to fix.

    If your parents never taught you that anything you send - whether pics or text - has the potential to get worldwide distribution, they should have. Sometimes it's not even on purpose. Heck, I've been happily married for over 10 years, and we have never sent anything to each other. We trust each other, but too much can go wrong.

    I know a very trustworthy guy who was trying to transfer some files from his phone to his comp. I'm not sure how this happened, but a series of photos of his fiancee endied up getting sent to his entire contact list! He felt awful, but it didn't matter. She broke it off and moved away.

    But your 2nd mistake is something you need to think about. If this guy is such a jerk that you'd worry he'd pass your pics on, what red flags did you miss that you'd send intimate pics to a cretin like him? This whole mess might be worth it if you can figure this out. It could be anything from insecurity to being too desperate to have a bf. But you'll be doing yourself a big favor if you can figure this out.

    As for your parents, I have a feeling he'll chicken out. It's one thing to pass stuff around to classmates, but when you involve adults, especially parents, there can be some "unintended consequences". In fact, depending on where you live, this could even result in charges. You'd get in trouble, sure, but he'd get in more trouble.

    We all make mistakes (the majority of us anyway lol). When I look back on my life the one year I'd so love to erase is my 17th year. I made some AWFUL choices that year. You recover when you acknowledge the mistakes you make and move forward to make better choices in life. You now know to NEVER send anyone (including someone you trust and love) photos or anything in writing that might someday be used against you in a fit of anger or revenge. The written word is permanent. So are photos and internet posts. The good news is that eventually you won't look like that photo any longer and can always deny that it's you. You can also say it was photoshopped. I call this type of explanation a good use of "blarney." You need to do what you have to do to protect yourself and your reputation. Let's hope, however, that your ex has some common decency and will delete and/or never share those photos. For now it's important that you move forward. Your number one priority in life right now is your education (think college) and in finding a career that will bring you financial security, independence, and satisfaction. Focus on today and on your future.

    Sounds to me like you have already learned a valuable lesson. I have no understanding as to why you would send pics of yourself to an "ex", but if she does show them to your parents, as painful as t would be, look them in the eye and admit it and assure them that it was a mistake and it won't happen again. Being embarrassed by someone or something can be a fine teacher on WHAT NOT TO DO the future.

    maybe your family believes in the wrong religion if they don't know forgiveness and kindness
