Do not – under any circumstances – take nude photographs of yourself. Whether they are Polaroid snaps, pictures on your phone or elaborately posed shots taken by a professional photographer doesn’t matter. Regardless of their quality, these photos will end up on the internet.

Think of the number of American Idol and Miss USA contestants who found their careers quickly cut short because of the naughty pics that emerged of them. They always claim the photos were meant to be private; gifts to boyfriends or pictures taken by friends. They weren’t made for public consumption. However, in this age, everything is for public consumption.

You’ll break up with your boyfriend or you will have an argument with your friend, those pictures will be scanned or uploaded on the net and everyone you’ve ever met, and a few thousand that you haven’t met, will see them. Everyone in your home town will know what you look like naked.

My advice: don’t take a picture unless you would be okay with your first grade teacher seeing it. This is unless you are planning a career as a porn star. In that case, ignore all that I just said.

The modern world is confusing.  The social liberation which commenced in the 1960s combined with increasing advances in technology means that the rules of decorum, manners and etiquette are constantly shifting.  The opportunity for public humiliation is greater than ever.

This guide is designed to provide advice on how to navigate through the murky social waters of the 21st century.  It will show you how to avoid common mistakes and how to keep your cool in any situation, be in online dating, break-up by text , office gossip and more.
