Slowly making our way to the big day with Mr. Claus doing his rounds locally on Sunday and the first wave of Christmas Cards and we are getting used to this new laptop although there's still a bit setting up and restoring programs to be done.
The dorm was very much where I did most of learning about handling situations, dealing with other boys learning "the rules" and by a term or two we'd pretty much got things sorted, who was getting a wash first, that the last one to bed turned the lights out and not waking others up if you needed the toilet overnight.
We also sorted when someone needed a "Talking to" and when we'd involve the adults although we never left any boy harmed or took pleasure from violence, indeed that did and still does worry me about the darkness of the emotions of ANY boy who holds with that.
It just isn't remotely healthy.
The topic of photographs is a recurring one on the forum where the whole environment around photo usage has changed so much from those days where by birth age we were younger as indeed has the medium from film to digitized images that are posted and exchanged as files.
Changing attitudes to certain topics such as the portrayal of other cultures, the more entrenched notion of consent to images being taken and posted and corporal punishment being hinted at cause issues as much as my liberal attitude is one of respecting the law as it applies to minors and being mindful of how things appear on public sites.
Thus while as far as I'm concerned c.p. between consenting legal adults is fine and is no source of shame, nonetheless you cannot put imagery on a general interest site that allows lots of groups that may include groups for children to belong even it might be just a hint of an impliment in the hands of either the one administering or the one being punished.
So if you do, then we need to remove it but a more suitable picture for your topic would be fine so long as all involved consent to its use.
