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!

What advice would you give to Gemma?
Comments
If I were Gemma I will also be mad too, But you shouldn't share something private with anyone!. Big mistake there ;/
Hi, my name is Olga. I want to have friend with you. I'm from Russia. Just want to talk to people that live in other counties. If you don't mind , lets be friends?
Claim to clare about that embarrassing moment , and never do that again if she wants to be her friend
If I were Gemma I would stop sending people whom I don't trust embarrassing pictures
i think Gemma needs to be careful when sending photos to people who are not really friends. she should talk with clare and tell her how she feels, gemma shouldn't trust clare anymore
I thing she should talk to Clare too
Yeah, I don`t think whats Clare did was the best thing...
She should talk to Clare.
I think I’d ask Clare to get Justin delete this photo and never send a photo to person which you don’t trust.
Next time, If Gemma wants to send her photos to her best friends, she should ask them not to send these photos to another. We should remember that sending one's private photos without their permission is very impolite.
Honestly, I think Gemma shouldn't worried, and she don't must share again ambarassing photos with anyone.
She must to try to get good friends, friends who are always by her side when all go wrong.
I totally agree with you!
Gemma you shpuld be careful the next time that you will send a photo to anyone.
I think Gemma should tell Clara about her problem because they are best friends. she learnt a lesson and she stop sending embarrassing private photo to anyone
I think Gemma must be talking to Clare.
I think Gemma it talk to the clare frankly . and i think gemma it should not sent don't embarrass her pictures
I think Gemna must followed the Makayla advice. to be careful when she sharing private photos and the who she sending to. Also, speak to Clare is the better option.
Gemma must be careful about sending her private photos to the others.I agree with Makayla because she gave the most perfect answer for Gemmma's question.
Gemma must be careful with who she send her privite photos, Is sad think that one of your friends shere your picture with someone elso
Gemma shouldn't send her private photos to anyone because you don't know what that person will do to your photos so i advice don't send any embarassing photos.
She should talk to Clare that she should not do like that.
I'd say to Gemma that it's not a big deal, it's just a funny photo, but I'd also say to her that if Claire did that to her she should stop trusting her.
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.
