I’m behind the girl and her parents. It is terrible that the school and yearbook are standing between her and her desired future career in porn. ---

Good thing this whole thing got shut down so no one is creepily leering at the pictures now. ---

Bahhh… If your yearbook picture isn’t covered in zits, has a hairstyle that isn’t already out of date, has braces, makes you look nerdy as hell, or isn’t in some other manner a pic that is almost guaranteed to NOT get you laid in the near future it ain’t a proper yearbook pic. Hookers for hire can go to Craigs List in a pinch. ---

> [@Little\_Nemo](#): > > Here is Spies first [picture](http://i.huffpost.com/gen/457007/SPIES.jpg), which does expose her sides. So she submitted a second [picture](http://i.huffpost.com/gen/460045/SPIES.jpg) which technically falls within the dress code. That’s _all_? I was expecting something a lot racier. ---

I’m honestly shocked at the amount of slut-shaming being directed at an _eighteen year old_ for doing nothing more than posing in a somewhat risqué picture. No, it isn’t appropriate for the yearbook in my opinion, but some of these comments are shameful. No one on here knows if she sleeps around, and if she did, it still wouldn’t be a judgment on her character. She’s practically a kid, for god’s sake. ---

Actually, it’s the trying to put that picture in the yearbook that’s a mark on her character (and certainly her parents’). It’s not slut-shaming, it’s attention-whore admonishing. ---

And her parents will likely be proud of her success. I feel sick. Yup and likely the masses will eat it up just like they happily slurp up shit like Snookie or the Kardashians or the real housewives of Wherever. Her parents will be proud because she’ll be famous and rich. I’m willing to bet that many parents will settle for trashy if it comes with rich and famous. ---

Her parents will be proud because she’ll be famous and rich. I think a lot of people in this thread are overstating this. The girl wanted to use a “glamor shot” picture for her yearbook photo. That’s really all it is. It’s not a sex tape a la Kardashian, for Christ’s sake. Besides, you see _far_ more racier shit than that picture in just about every form of media besides radio. I understand why she did it, I understand why the yearbook said no, but for the life of me I don’t understand why the media seems to think I need to know about it.
