People say he’s a pervert. People say he’s a bad husband. But\u00a0Anthony Wiener is not that special. He just happens to be in a position where his indiscretions are plastered across news headlines.<\/p>\n

The reality is we’re all just one poor decision away from the same fate. <\/span><\/strong><\/p>\n

In this day and age where it’s becoming increasingly more popular (ie. cool, funny) to nonchalantly send private material to boyfriends, friends and even strangers (otherwise known as sexting), there’s something we can all learn from the likes of Anthony Wiener:<\/p>\n

What you believe you’re sharing privately probably won’t stay private. <\/span><\/strong><\/p>\n

Messages can inadvertently be sent to the wrong person. Phones can be stolen. Boyfriends\/Girlfriends come and go (but will still have your pictures). What you put online is nearly impossible to take offline. Even Ellen DeGeneres\u00a0embarrasses her audience with a segment called, “‘In Your\u00a0Facebook.”\u00a0Your digital footprint is forever.<\/p>\n

A good rule of thumb is if you wouldn’t want your mom to see it then don’t post it, text it, email it or even more simply… just don’t do it. <\/span><\/strong><\/p>\n

And a note for parents about your kid and sexting:<\/h3>\n
