Joan Ganz Cooney: From a 'Generation That Didn't Take Nude Photos of Each Other'

Joan Ganz Cooney
I have lived most of my adult life worried about the front page of The New York Times. As in how would I feel if this were on the front page of The New York Times? Thus, during my entire career, I’ve been careful … certainly in letters (except once and it came back to haunt me), conversations with people I don’t know well and now with e-mail. In terms of personal life, I came up in a generation that didn’t take nude photos of each other.

I often wonder how kids who take these nude photos so casually now will deal with them later in life when they get a clue.  We had a situation locally where a young girl (18) took nude photos of herself with her cellphone and sent them to a boyfriend.  He, being a complete slug, then forwarded the photos to a bunch of their mutual friends.  The young woman ended up killing herself.
