Leave Amber Cole Alone: Social Media Is Victimizing Our Young People

Over the last week, a video of 14-year-old Amber Cole performing oral sex on her ex-boyfriend went viral. The event took place outside of their high school while two other boys watched nearby and recorded it.

It wasn’t long before websites got a hold of the recording and posted it for their subscribers to view.

Immediately social networking websites such as Twitter and Facebook filled up with controversial comments and opinions on the scandal. The hash tag topic that trended read “Leave Amber Cole Alone.” Derogatory words were thrown Amber’s way, some of them even crossing the line to bullying.

Yes, Amber Cole performed the act, but should she be ridiculed this way? The answer is no. There are many steps and tools that could’ve prevented this. Not excuses but precautions, she is 14 years old and was obviously mislead.

Sources say Amber consented to perform this act on school grounds in hopes to win back her ex-boyfriend.
