Sixth-grade teacher's viral letter shows her students why it is NEVER a good idea to upload risque photos to the internet

A lesson learned: Sixth-grade teacher, Melissa Bour, decided to teach her students a lesson about the dangers of posting risque photos online by writing this letter (pictured) and posting an image of it online

Story is about a school teacher whom decided to tutor hers students on how their *Naked* pictures can go viral.....Melissa Bour was alarmed after seeing students' selfies on Facebook. In many, 11- and 12-year-olds were in bras or holding up middle fingers
She decided to write letter about their sharing habits and post it online
She asked her friends to share picture to teach sixth graders a lesson Within hours, it had gone viral, appearing in nearly every state, as well as other countries with people across the world sharing it
'I care very much about their reputations,' said science and math teacher
Both students and parents alike have reacted positively to her actions

Success: Miss Bour (pictured) asked her friends to share the letter, written in caps and addressed to 'Dear Facebook', online. Within hours, it had gone viral, appearing in nearly every state, as well as other countries

And although Miss Bour later deleted the original post, copies of it remain online - proving another lesson for students that just because you delete an image, it is not totally erased from the internet.

Hmm smart woman!!!
