why? Why do people lie? why do underage people pretend to be older? I
recently did a photo shoot. It was FANTASTIC!!!! some of my best work to
date. I just got a call from her mother. Her id... the one I photocopied
was a fake... two more months and she is legal... but she risked my career,
her career and my freedom for this photoshoot... FORTUNATELY, her mother is
cool and simply demanded destruction of the photos... But maybe someone,
anyone, can enlighten me as to why someone would fucking pull this kinda
shit? ____________________ The earth turns on a tilted axis - just doing the best it can.

I tend to act older just because I do, but not to make myself superior to
others. Whenever people ask for my age, I always answer. In the past,
though, I used to have a fear that I'd be condescended when faced with
someone who did not like talking to younger people, but it never stopped me
from telling the truth about my age. Unless it's for survival purposes, I
do not see a reason to lie...even with that, I try to avoid doing it.
I just do not see how I could live with myself for pulling such stunts that
involve lying about my age to do certain things. It'd haunt me in the long
run. Plus, if you tell the truth, you do not have to really remember
anything. |

Feral, I am so glad that the mother was so cool about it. And that was
INCREDIBLY selfish and STUPID of that girl! For crying out loud, what's
wrong with waiting TWO FRIGGIN' MONTHS! That showed a total lack of
respect for you and your art.
As for why, she may have thought it was somehow "cool" and "exciting" to
pose nude while underage. Or maybe she thought it showed an admirable lack
of respect for the protestant establishment. Or maybe she thought it just
didn't matter, since she would be of age in two months. But damn! Didn't
she realize she was endangering you by her action? If you're going to be
stupid and take risks, then risk yourself, not others who are just trying
to do their jobs!
That just makes me so mad! ____________________ "You can tell by the scars on my arms and the cracks in my hips and the

sorry.....maybe she's just a kid trying to be an adult and doesn't know any
better, trying to grow up too fast and bringing you down with her. ____________________ "It is a fool's prerogative to utter truths that no one else will speak."

well, it could have something to do with the adreniline rush of doing
something illigal, some people become addicted to that like a drug and need
it more and more as they go on, posing nude is pretty riskae, and maybe she
is that addicted to the rush, but of course thats only one theory she could
be 'cool' with her friends for doing it or maybe she needed the money or
maybe she just couldnt wait or the oppertunity was just to good to pass up
or the great chinchilla in the sky just hates you, its all a matter of
perspective really...

I'm betting she just didn't think about how serious it could be for you.
For her she gets to have fun and be photographed. She probably didn't take
the time to consider exactly how badly things could fuck up for you, that
her age wouldn't matter that much. Or she was hoping no-one would find out
her real age.
I'm glad her mother was cool about it though. *phew* ____________________ Do not fear death so much, but rather the inadequate life. |

I'm really glad you didn't get into trouble over it, especially since you
actually had a copy of an ID.
When someone is very close to the age of majority, it's easy to not realize
just how much legal difference even one day under age can make in certain
situations. Also, she may have been under some misguided impression that
she could just say it was her own idea, and not realize that her saying
that would mean absolutely nothing if her mother had not been okay with how
it turned out. ____________________ "When choosing between two evils, I always like to try the one I've never

I would think that the main factor here would be that she wasnt quite aware
of the consequences, and thought she would not be found out. I can easily
see the appeal in that sort of photoshoot, and perhaps she thought that if
she told you she needed to wait a couple of months, you would find someone
else or change your mind.
If someone offered me that chance, I know I would have to think twice, but
I would still inform them of my real age. Maybe she is very naive; used to
sneaking around and has never been caught before.
All the same, I can only imagine how distressing and disappointing it must
be for you to have to destroy the products of such a good shoot. I'm sorry
to hear of this incident. |
