Pictures... makeup

Using photos of yourself on your blog, I think can be useful in many ways, and should be done at your discretion. Having real life photos of yourself on your blog could be useful in many different ways. In describing oneself, making a statement about yourself, etc. It's pretty universal. So it should be up to the blogger to know whether it is appropriate. Obviously a person should be able to deviate between a photo being school appropriate or not. So that undermines the appropriate vs. inappropriate argument.

The main argument in students being able to use their pictures, is 'predators' lurking the digital jungle. I understand how a photo could be provocative and misleading, but if it is within the school guidelines it should be appropriate for everyone in the world to see, without being aroused.

Using self photos is a universal way to express oneself. It tells a story, shows yourself, and helps describe you.
