Makayla: Hi Gemma. You look terrible!
Gemma: Hey Makayla. Mmm, I haven’t slept.
Makayla: Are you OK? What’s the matter?
Gemma: Well, you know that photo I sent to Clare on Friday night?
Makayla: Yeah?
Gemma: Well, she sent it to Justin ...
Makayla: Oh no! How could she do that? It obviously was only for her.
Gemma: I know! I thought she’d find it funny.
Makayla: Well, it was quite funny ... but you didn’t expect her to send it to anyone.
Gemma: No, of course not! Especially not Justin! It’s so embarrassing!
Makayla: Ah well, don’t worry. I know how you feel though ...
Gemma: And what if he puts it on Facebook or something? What if my mum sees it?
Makayla: No, no, don’t worry ... he won’t. It’s not that interesting for him or anyone else, to be honest.
Gemma: But what if he does?
Makayla: He won’t. But maybe ask Clare to speak to Justin ... Get him to delete the photo?
Gemma: Yeah … maybe. But that might just make him even more interested ...
Makayla: Yeah, true.
Gemma: What do you think I should do?
Makayla: Mmm … I’d just try to forget about it if I were you.
Gemma: But I’m so annoyed with Clare!
Makayla: Maybe speak to Clare, tell her how you feel. She shouldn’t be sharing people’s private photos.
Gemma: OK, yeah. Thanks for the advice, Makayla. I’ll talk to her.
Makayla: Good idea. And don’t worry. Just be careful and don’t send any more embarrassing photos!
Gemma: Yeah, I know, I know … I won’t!

Discussion
What advice would you give to Gemma?
Comments
I´d say the same thing that makayla said to talk to Claire and be careful about share photos and don´t trust in everyone
I can really empathize with both Makayla and Gemma.
I experienced same things, but my friends weren't interesting about or was interesting temporary but forget easily.
It's best not to worry.
Cheer up, Gemma!
I'd give Gemma Makayla's advise that she should speak to Claire and say that she mustn't share privat photos.
I would have said to Gemma of don't send her embarassing photo to anyone, and to talk with Justin about it.
Gemma must be more careful with photos.Because I think she should be able to know privately speaking with Clare that ist is not allowed to share her private photos with anyone. In fact she must also talk with Justin and explain his mistakes.
Never send your photos to other people if you don't want to appear embarrassed in public. And don't trust other people
Don't trust other people, whether it's friends, girlfriends and even strangers
I think gemma shouldn't have sent her photo to anyone. And she should be more careful next time.
I think gemma needs to be careful, she needs to sort out friends she can trust. But it would be nice for Claire to be more sensitive and also to keep her friend's privacy.
from Gemma we can learn that don't trust anyone, if you don't them well.
Gemma must be more careful in sending photos. This incident also teaches us, so as not to be too quick to trust people.
I think gemma should be careful anymore, when she send her private photos for someone.
I think gemma should think before she sends the photo to anyone else. Because other people might think it's funny but we don't think it's because it's privacy
If i were Gemma, I think I would also feel embarassed and upset. She should talk with Clare, and explain how she feels after this case. And Mikayla is right that Gemma should stop shares embarrassing photo with others.
The next time think before if you want to send something and be careful with someone.
Gemma should talk to Justin to delete the photo, because it was an embarrassing photo. The lesson to be learned, from this incident is don't send personal photos to other people even to your friends.
I think Gemma should talk to Clare and be careful when sending private photos.
I think gemma stopped sending photos to her friends again. Because we don't know what he's gonna do with that photo. Besides, it's not necessarily our friends who can keep each other's privacy.
I think Gemma should talk to Clare about the situation. This trouble should be a lesson for her to protect her privacy carefully. Privacy is a disgrace, and people who don't keep their privacy like people who don't have shame. keeping the privacy like taking care of yourself.
I think Gemma should talk to her friends. and stop sending embarrassing private photos to anyone. and be more careful about choosing friends. Because if she is your best friend, she will never share your embarrassing personal photos.
i think Gemma should be more careful what she wants to sent on internet. then, She need to talk face to face with Clare to fix her problem.
I agree with Makayla. I think Gemma should tell her feelings to Clare about this problem. They are friends, right? If Gemma talks about it, maybe Clare will understand and do not do it again. Gemma should be careful not to send her embarrassing photos to anyone.
Gemma should be careful with sending photos. I think she should personally talk to Clare that ist is not okay to share privat photos to anyone. She should also talk with Justin and explain the mistake.
I think that gemma ought to be more careful next time and she must learn from her faults
I think Gemma should talk with claire abou the situation and she should be more careful with her pics
i think Gemma shouldn't send her private photo and she must be more carefull
I think Gemma should be careful and don't send any more embarrassing photos and maybe she could speak to Clare and tell her how she feels.
Because she does a terrible thing, she shouldn't share people's private photos, it's could be a violation
Gemma should stop sending her private and she should be careful
she should speak with gemma about she fells. but next time she shouldn't send embarassing photos of her-self to anyone
I think Gemma should have been more careful and she should stop to share private photos which can be embarrassing.
