The internet made the world a whole lot smaller metaphorically speaking, which is why cyber bullying is an actual thing now. Generally speaking, you're going to have a hard time convincing a teen who grew up with social media that somebody retweeting some shit you did/said 200k times isn't a big deal. We've all done shit that we regret, but the majority of that shit doesn't follow us around every time we do something. Porn is one of those things. And it's not her fault, it's the consumer's fault.

Shit, college debt will follow your ass around and PTSD and all of the other fuck shit that comes with military could follow you around as well, come to think of it.

And with all of that being said, at 18 yo you have to have the foresight and the mental fortitude to make a potentially life changing decision, and be ok with it for the rest of your life.

I mean hey at 18 you might have your shit together, but imo that's the exception and not the rule.
