In today’s digital age, navigating the internet landscape can feel like a minefield for parents. With the risk of our kids sharing compromising photos looming over us, it’s enough to make anyone want to wrap their children in bubble wrap and hide them away. But fear not! Some teens are proving they have a solid sense of judgment when it comes to online interactions. Take, for instance, this clever girl who handled a boy’s inappropriate request for a “shower selfie” with impeccable wit.
According to BuzzFeed, 16-year-old Mia Johnson was enjoying a nice shower when she received an unexpected text from a classmate. To her surprise, the boy, who she didn’t even know had her number, casually asked her to share a glimpse of her shower time. Talk about cringe-worthy!
Instead of succumbing to the pressure of sending something risqué, Mia took the high road—albeit a hilarious one. Declaring she wasn’t the type to send such photos, she decided to respond with a goofy picture of herself donning an umbrella hat. Talk about a masterclass in trolling!
Mia had stumbled upon the umbrella hat while trying to spend just enough to qualify for free shipping on Amazon Prime. Little did she know, this whimsical purchase would come in handy for a moment of teenage triumph. After sharing her exchange and the photo on Twitter, Mia was met with a flood of support and fellow umbrella hat selfies from users who appreciated her humor.
For those of us who are not quite ready to face the tumultuous teen years, Mia’s story is a glimmer of hope. My daughter is just nine, but she’s already asking for a phone, and I know that resistance will be futile once she hits middle school. All I can do is hope that her father and I have equipped her with enough wisdom to navigate the digital world. If a boy ever asks for something inappropriate, I can only wish she’d respond with the same epic style as Mia.
As for her teenage requester? It seems that Mia’s umbrella hat response was so shocking that he hasn’t bothered to reply since. And honestly, let’s keep it that way.
